Vinod Khanna

Retro1968–2017

A rugged, charismatic star of the 1970s and ’80s, Vinod Khanna was one of the few actors of his time to rival Amitabh Bachchan’s stardom. He famously stepped away from films at his peak to pursue spirituality, then returned to success. He later became a Member of Parliament.
