He is looking extremely pale and in bad health and this has triggered rumour of him battling bladder cancer. This shocked the whole nation and wishes started pouring in from all the corners. The family hasn't confirmed the news yet and even the hospital is mum on this.
His son, Rahul Khanna earlier 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," he added.
