In a heartbreaking tweet, actor Rahul Khanna on May 1 recalled his father Vinod Khanna, who died of bladder cancer on April 27.
Sharing an old Black and White picture of his father, in the pic, we can see Vinod Khanna vacationing at a beach with son Rahul and Akshaye.

While the tweet is short and sweet, Rahul’s pain of losing his father can easily be felt, and friends and fans quickly take to twitter to not only condole his father’s death but also send out their words support to Rahul.

@R_Khanna फिर किसी के आँसू निकलेंगे और सूख जाएँगे,
ये ज़िंदगी मगर ऐसे ही चलती रहेगी अपनी रफ़्तार से,
तेरे जाने का गम बस तेरे अपने ही समझ पाएँगे— Arsalaan Khan (@iamArsalaankhan) May 1, 2017
Though Rahul is fairly active on social media and even has his own blog page, this was his first twitter post since his father’s death on April 27th.
