In the early 80s, his fans were shocked when debonair Vinod Khanna announced that he was quitting Bollywood and following his spiritual Guru Osho Rajnish.
     "His spiritual foray coincided with the time the actor and his then wife Geetanjali developed differences. Vinod Khanna chose to shift base from the lights of tinsel town to Koregaon Park (where Rajnish's ashram was located) in Pune," veteran film journalist Dilip Thakur told PTI.
     "He left the film industry, to make a comeback a few years later with Mukul Anand's "Insaaf". But when he announced the decision to quit Bollywood while he was at the peak of his career, his fans, who were in love with his trademark swagger and suave personality, were taken aback," Thakur reminisced.
     ""Insaaf" got a terrific success as Khanna had a dedicated audience," he said, recalling the film career of the actor who today lost battle with bladder carcinoma at the age of 70.

Actor Vinod Khanna had planned to renounce the film industry and his superstardom during the late 1970s itself, recalls actress Deepti Naval.
	Khanna, who passed away this morning, had stunned his fans and industry peers at the peak of his career when he took a sabbatical in 1982, leaving for the US to lead a spiritual life.

	It was around 1976-77 and Deepti arrived in Bombay, as Mumbai was called then, to find a career in Hindi films when she first met Khanna, the then ruling heartthrob of the nation, on the sets of "Jallianawala Bagh".
	"I first met him there and we interacted. I always found him pre-occupied... The first time when got talking to each other he was telling me how he had decided to leave the industry and go away," she told PTI.

He was a villain to begin with - but ended up as a hero with a legion of fans swooning over his good looks. Yet, Vinod Khanna, who once abandoned fame for a set of saffron robes, perhaps never got his due.

	He was a hero who was overshadowed by a bigger star. In several films, Khanna acted with Amitabh Bachchan, and while the pair was a great success, the angry young man that Bachchan became synonymous with often stole the show.
	Khanna and Bachchan, despite the competition, starred in blockbusters such as "Amar Akbar Anthony", "Parvarish", "Reshma Aur Shera", "Muqaddar Ka Sikandar", "Zameer", "Hera Pheri" and "Khoon Paseena". But Bachchan was the undisputed hero; Khanna, always .
