Khanna, who died after battling cancer, was very close to the Kapur family and as Shiv said, "He was part of our family."

Shiv, added that the celebrations of his first Asian Tour title in 11 years are going to be very subdued.

I want to dedicate this win to Vinod Khanna, the Indian film legend, who passed away this week. He was very close to our family and in this moment of mourning, it’s nice to have some cheer. He was an incredible influence on all of us and his calmness will reverberated in my thoughts. Hence the subdued celebrations.
