13 Feb
Summary
- Vinod Khanna's wife shared details of his time at Osho commune.
- Vinod Khanna was offered leadership but refused Osho's request.
- He reportedly cried remembering his children during commune years.
Kavita Khanna, wife of the late star Vinod Khanna, has spoken about his tumultuous early 1980s stay at Osho's Oregon commune. She described the environment as complex, with Osho's secretary, Ma Anand Sheela, gradually assuming control as Osho became withdrawn. The commune, Rajneeshpuram, transformed into a self-sustained township facing controversy.
Kavita shared that Vinod was deeply unsettled by the commune's increasingly militant and politically ambitious atmosphere. He would cry, missing his children from his first marriage, torn between spiritual pursuits and paternal longing. She also revealed that Vinod once fell seriously ill after consuming poisoned water during internal power struggles.
In a significant revelation, Kavita stated that Osho had asked Vinod to take over the ashram, a request he refused amidst the upheaval. Vinod eventually returned to India, resumed his acting career, and later entered politics. Kavita's account adds a personal dimension to this sensationalized chapter.
