This strange coincidence about the death of the two Bollywood icons comes us a shock to all of us. Bollywood veteran Rishi Kapoor was said to be friends with both the personalities, having worked with Khan in titles like Ajooba (1991) and Ram Tere Kitne Naam (1985), and with Khanna in Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), Eena Meena Deeka (1994) etc.
Feroz Khan and Vinod Khanna were themselves said to be fast friends with each other while they were alive. The two worked together for the first time in Shankar Shambhu (1976), and then later in Qurbani, the 1980 blockbuster, which starred big names like Zeenat Aman, Amjad Khan, Aruna Irani and Kader Khan.
Rishi took to Twitter on Wednesday to share the interesting coincidence about his two late friends.
Strange coincidence. Friends Vinod Khanna and Feroz Khan die the same day 27th April. Khan sahab passed away 27th April 2009 Bangalore.

KARACHI – The Pakistani rupee experienced a significant surge in its value in the open market against the dollar.
This surge came after a recent directive from the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), allowing banks to purchase dollars at the interbank market rate for international card payments. The objective of this move was to narrow the exchange rate gap between the official and informal markets.
According to the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan, the currency market witnessed the dollar being traded at Rs298, compared to its previous day’s closing rate of 311.
The SBP’s decision was influenced by the International Monetary Fund’s demand for Pakistan to stabilize its currency market before resuming a $6.5 billion bailout program.
In a circular, the central bank stated, “In response to the feedback received from various stakeholders, Authorized Dealers are now permitted to buy USD from the Interbank market to settle card-based cross border transactions with international payment schemes (IPS).”
Market analysts had predicted a decline in the value of the rupee following the implementation of these new guidelines.
Zafar Paracha, the General Secretary of the ECAP, expressed that the SBP’s decision was timely and appropriate. He anticipated that it would lead to a decrease of 20 to 25 rupees in the open market currency rate. Paracha also noted that aligning the rates in the official and informal markets would bolster remittance inflows.
Pracha further emphasized that significant disparities in rates between the official and informal markets encourage transactions outside of the official banking system.
