News India Live, Digital Desk: Bollywood’s ‘Muscular Man’ and superstar Vinod Khanna was known for his acting as well as his spiritual quest. When he was at the peak of his career, he left everything and retired. Now his second wife Kavita Khanna has made a shocking revelation about Vinod Khanna’s dedication to Osho (Rajneesh) and his difficult spiritual practice. “When people were sleeping, he used to meditate on the sea shore.” Kavita Khanna recently told in an interview how serious Vinod Khanna was about his practice. He shared that Vinod would often go to Juhu Beach in Mumbai in the silence of the night. According to Kavita, “He used to go to the beach at midnight and meditate without clothes (in a naked state). He wanted to be completely one with nature and for him it was a way to connect with God.” Why did he become ‘Mali’ at the peak of his career? Vinod Khanna’s film journey came into discussion when he suddenly said goodbye to Bollywood, giving competition to Amitabh Bachchan. He went to Osho’s ashram where he did not hesitate to wash utensils and work as a gardener. Kavita tells that fame never mattered to Vinod Khanna; He was only in search of inner peace. Balance between spirituality and domesticity. Even though people saw him as a star, within the home he was a curious seeker. The poem told how even after returning from Sannyasa, the ‘monk’ within him always remained alive. He would often remain immersed in deep meditation for hours and would live in his own world, far away from the worldly glare. This aspect of Vinod Khanna is inspiring and equally mysterious for his fans even today. An actor who lived on his own terms and discovered God on his own terms.
