Mukesh Khanna lost two siblings to Coronavirus within a month. The actor’s elder sister Kamal Kapoor passed away in Delhi on April 12, and his elder brother Satish Khanna passed away due to a heart attack after recovering from COVID-19 in Mumbai last month. And a few days ago, rumours of the actor’s death also started spreading online. Khanna says, “There were rumours of my death and I spent two-three hours clearing that I am alive and fine.”

“My sister Kamal, who was married and based in Delhi, battled COVID for 12 days and recovered. However, she developed chest congestion and passed away. The doctors did their best but due to complications, I lost her. I am in a terrible state of mind. Within a month, I’ve lost my brother and sister. We all need to follow safety protocols. It is terrible to lose family members like this,” he shares.

Addressing rumours of his death, Khanna says, “I can’t believe that during these times, people can spread such rumours. I’m dealing with personal loss and people have spread rumours about my death. I had to take so many phone calls telling them how I am healthy by God’s grace.”
