Vinod Khanna passed away in Mumbai on Thursday morning following a battle with cancer, marking the end of an era in Hindi film industry. He was 70.
His last rites took place in last evening at the Hindu Crematorium, Worli. The funeral was attended by Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Dia Mirza, Arjun Rampal, and Chunkey Pandey among others.
However, the late star’s good friend and colleague Rishi Kapoor was not happy with the turnout at the funeral. Rishi went on a Twitter rant to show his anger over current generation stars over not attending the funeral of yesteryear’s superstar Vinod Khanna.
In a series of tweets, the 64-year-old-actor showed his disappointment at the film fraternity for attending the funeral in such small numbers.
He started his rant by saying, “Shameful. Not ONE actor of this generation attended Vinod Khanna’s funeral. And that too he has worked with them. Must learn to respect.”
