The industry gave a tearful adieu to the originalhearthrobof Bollywood, Vinod Khanna. Before the last rites, Member of Parliament Vinod Khanna was given the Guard of Honor by the Indian Navy at his residence.
According to sources, “The family had briefed us that there should be no funeral procession to be held (like superstar Rajesh Khanna’s case).

Post the Guard of Honour the mortal remains was wrapped with the Navy flag.” source added.
The source also elaborated, “Apart from a private funeral, Vinod also wanted his youngest Sakshi to give agni and perform the last rites . Therefore Sakshi reached the crematorium initially and sat for a pooja post performing the last rites.”
The actor’s first wife Geetanjali was seen consoled by both her sons Akshaye and Rahul but she broke down once the last rites were performed.
