The veteran actor was taken to the hospital and was there for quite some time. Initially, his family refrained from speaking anything about his illness but his son, actor Rahul Khanna, finally released a statement about his father and said, “Dad was hospitalised on Friday for severe dehydration. The situation was quickly brought under control, he’s doing much better and the doctors are looking to discharge him soon. Our family is most grateful for the extraordinary care he’s been receiving at the hospital and we are touched by all the good wishes pouring in.”
