3 | At the end of the seventies, he became a follower of a particular guru, or religious leader, and left his wife and children behind to move to America, where the guru had a following. When he came back to India in the mid-eighties, his career had lost a lot of momentum due to his absence. He maintains amicable but distant relations with his sons, actor Creator/AkshayeKhanna, and professional twitterer and DeadpanSnarker Rahul Khanna. |
