<p>The passing away of Vinod Khanna, the actor with immense talent and impeccable screen charisma, has clearly left a void on the Indian screen. Actors across film industries shared with Metrolife their memories of him and how much they loved watching him on screen.<br /><br />Ramesh Aravind Actor “He is remembered for his performance in ‘Parvarish’. There are a couple of scenes in the film that I still remember vividly. He was known for his great looks and was a competition for many other heroes of the time. It’s hard to say goodbye to the best star in the Indian film industry.”<br /><br />Shobhana Actor “I am deeply saddened by the demise of Vinod Khanna. I had always found him to be a great actor who was ahead of his time.” <br /><br />Prakash Raj, Actor<br /> “I’ve grown up watching Vinod Khanna’s films and I’ve worked with him in ‘Wanted’. I remember him as a dashing man who always pushed the boundaries of creativity. We missed having him around when he suddenly left the industry and took to spirituality. I once asked him how he managed to stay away from glamour after being around for so long, and listened like a student when he explained to me why he chose to take another path. He was a great soul and a wonderful human being.”<br /> <br />Sonu Sood Actor <br /><br />“The demise of Vinod Khanna is a huge loss to the film industry. I’ve worked with him in two films — ‘Dabangg’ and ‘Ramaiya Vastavaiya’ — and we’ve spent a lot of time together. We would have our tea and lunch together during the break. He would constantly motivate me and other youngsters with whom he interacted. We also had a strong Punjabi connection. He was very focussed and committed to his craft. I will miss him deeply because he was a genuine soul.”<br /> </p>
