Rahul Khanna, elder son of late 1970s star Vinod Khanna, shared a childhood photograph of himself and his younger brother Akshaye enjoying a day at the beach with their father.
Vinod Khanna passed away last week at 70 after a prolonged battle with cancer of the urinary bladder. His family was by his side at Sir HN Reliance Foundation and Research Hospital in Girgaum where he breathed his last at 11.20 am on 27 April.
Rahul captioned the black and white photo, “Feels like yesterday."
