MUMBAI: The actor died in 2017 after battling cancer for years. On his birth anniversary, let's remember him. Vinod never shied away from talking about his views on sex.

An old video of him smoking a cigarette while airing his views on sex has surfaced on social media. He says, “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.”

Before entering the industry, he completed his degree in commerce. But he kept his degree aside to entertain us on the big screen.
