Several media reports suggest the actor is suffering from bladder cancer.
Khanna was hospitalised in HN Reliance Foundation and Research Centre in Girgaum on Friday night. His son, Rahul, had at the time said that the doctors were looking to discharge him soon.
A spokesperson for the HN Reliance Foundation Hospital said, "Vinod Khanna was admitted to Sir HN Reliance Foundation hospital on Friday with severe dehydration. He is under the care of our doctors and has responded positively to the treatment and is now stable. His family thanks his well wishers for the good wishes and requests to respect their privacy."

Is that Vinod Khanna cancer picture for real? The only actor my mom's ever been fond of. And I broke this horrible news to her today.
