This actor left his wife at the peak of his career, married a girl 14-years younger, name was..., his son is... Vinod Khanna, a towering figure in Indian cinema, carved a special place in audiences hearts with his irresistible charm and powerful persona. The actor build a multifaceted career spanning acting, production and politics. Revered as a style icon, Khanna dominated the sliver screen in 1970s, alongside megastars like Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. Yet behind the superstardom, his personal life always grabbed headlines, especially his complex love life. Born in 1946, Vinod Khanna hailed from a business family and developed interest in acting right from the beginning. During his college days, he met Geetanjali Taleyarkhan, a budding model. Gradually, their friendship blossomed into love, and they tied the knot in 1971, amidst Khanna's rising stardom. The couple had two sons- Rahul Khanna (born in 1972), and Akshaye Khanna (born in 1975). Despite the growing popularity, especially among female fan base, he remained devoted to his wife and children. However, his life transformed after he devoted himself towards the path of spirituality. He gave up acting and moved to U.S, drawn towards teachings of Osho. During his years in guru's ashram, his physical absence took a toll on his family. Although, Khanna stayed in touch with them through calls, but it became difficult for his wife to hold the family together, including being answerable to everyone regarding Vinod's disappearance. The emotion strain caused rift in their marriage, and the two parted ways in 1985. Upon his arrival from the spiritual retreat, Vinod Khanna married Kavita Daftary in 1990. Daughter of noted industrialist Sharayu Daftary, Kavita was 14-years younger than Vinod. A law graduate, she later became involved in politics and social work. Despite a significant age gap, they shared a deep connection and emotional intellect. Together, they had two children- Sakshi and Shraddha. Meanwhile, on the work front, Vinod Khanna's last on-screen appearance was in 2020 film Guns of Banaras.
