Hours after clearing air on his death hoax, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna took to his social media to share the sad news of his elder sister Kamal Kapoor’s death. She died due to lung congestion, 12 days after recovering from the coronavirus.
Shaktimaan fame Mukesh Khanna wrote along with a picture: "कल घंटो मैं मेरी मौत की झूठी ख़बर का सच बताने का संघर्ष करता रहा। लेकिन मुझे पता नहीं था कि एक भयंकर सच मेरे ऊपर मँडरा रहा है।आज मेरी इकलौती बड़ी बहन कमल कपूर का दिल्ली में निधन हो गय, उनके निधन से काफी मर्माहत हूँ ,हम सब परिवार सकते में आ गये हैं । १२ दिन में कोविड को हराने के बाद लंग्स के कंजेस्चन से वो हार गई। पता नहीं ऊपर वाला क्या हिसाब किताब कर रहा है। सचमुच मैं पहली बार ज़िंदगी में हिल गया हूँ। अश्रुपूरित नमन,भावभीनी श्रद्धांजलि।।"
(Yesterday, I struggled for hours to clarify rumours around my death. However, I had no idea that an ominous truth was upon me. Today, my only elder sister Kamal Kapoor has passed away in Delhi. My entire family is in shock. After fighting off COVID-19 in 12 days, she succumbed to lung congestion.)
Khanna became a household name with his title role in Shaktimaan and he is also known for his character of Bhishma Pitamah in Mahabharat.
May the departed soul rest in peace.
