Taking to his social media page, Mukesh Khanna posted a family picture featuring him alongside his late sister, and a few other relatives and wrote, "Kal ghanto main meri maut ki jhoothi khabar ka sach bataane ka sangharsh karta raha , lekin mujhe pata nahi tha ki ek bhayankar sach mere upar mandra raha hai. Aaj meri eiklauti badi behen Kamal Kapoor ka dilli mei nidhan ho gaya (Yesterday, I struggled for hours to tell the truth about the false news of my death , but I didn't know that a terrible truth is hovering over me.

Sach much mai pehli baar zindagi mei hil gaya hu (I am very saddened due to her death. After defeating COVID-19 in 12 days, she got defeated by lung congestion. I don't understand god's calculations. I am really shaken for the first time in my life)."
