Vinod Khanna's Osho Secret: Envy of Bachchan?
27 Apr
Summary
- Vinod Khanna left Bollywood at his peak for an Osho commune.
- Osho believed Khanna missed status, not family, due to Bachchan.
- Khanna later entered politics and served as a Union Minister.
Vinod Khanna once left the heights of Bollywood stardom to embrace a simpler life within Osho's commune in the United States, even working as a gardener. This significant career departure created an opening that was swiftly filled by Amitabh Bachchan's ascendance. Osho's brother, Swami Shailendra Saraswati, shared that Osho observed Khanna's unhappiness and deduced it wasn't a longing for his family.
Instead, Osho suggested Khanna return to India and contest elections against Amitabh Bachchan. This insight revealed Khanna's subconscious regret over losing his top status in the film industry. Khanna's conscious mind might have focused on missing his family, but Osho saw his envy of Bachchan's success as the root of his pain.
Khanna returned to India in the late 1980s, successfully resuming his film career. He later transitioned into politics, serving as a Union Minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government. Vinod Khanna passed away on April 27, 2017, leaving behind a lasting cinematic and political legacy.
