Wife reveals Vinod Khanna's earlier lung cancer fight

In a recent revelation, Kavita Khanna, the second wife of the late Bollywood star Vinod Khanna, disclosed that the actor battled lung cancer years before his passing. The diagnosis occurred in 2001 during a routine check-up, when doctors discovered patches in his lungs. At the time, Khanna was a heavy smoker, reportedly smoking between 40 to 80 cigarettes daily.

Following the diagnosis, the couple consulted spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Advised to explore meditation and breathwork, Vinod practiced sudarshan kriya at an ashram in Rishikesh. Remarkable recoveries followed, with subsequent scans showing no trace of the disease, a phenomenon that astonished medical professionals.
