One of the most iconic and dashing stars of his time, Vindo Khanna needs no introduction. He was a heartthrob and had the most dashing looks and charming personality. The superstar was born on October 6, 1946, and later on became one of the huge stars in the Bollywood industry. Apart from his acting talent, Vinod Khanna often made headlines for his love affairs with the lead actresses.

On such love affair of the actor was with his 12 years younger actress Amrita Singh. The duo worked in JP Dutta’s Batwara where Vinod Khanna wasn’t initially interested in Amrita but he later gave in as the actress was trying her best to get the attention.

In the video, Vinod Khanna can be seen smoking a cigarette and sharing his views on ‘sex’. “Well, I was a bachelor and I am no saint as far as women are concerned. I need sex as much as anybody else does. Without women we won’t be here, without sex we won’t be here, so why should anybody object to my being with women,” he said.
