It's veteran actor Vinod Khanna's birthday today. The actor who succumbed to cancer earlier this year would have turned 71 today.
Khanna is remembered for a number of notable performances in his career. He was last seen on the silver screens in the Rohit Shetty film Dilwale, essaying the character of Shah Rukh Khan's father.
On the occasion of his birth anniversary, his son Sakshi Khanna wrote a heartfelt note and shared it alongside an old picture of them on his Instagram account.
He wrote, "Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household world that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well." #HappyBirthdayDad"
