Vinod Mehra was born in [[Amritsar]] in 1945 in a Punjabi family. His father's name was Parameshwaridas Mehra and mother's name Kamala Mehra. Family shifted its base to Bombay from Amritsar after independence as Parameshwaridas had business interest in Bombay. He had an elder sister named Sharda who appeared in several films before Mehra started his career in 1970s. Mehra completed his schooling in [[Sacred Heart Boys High School]] Santacruz and later earned a Bachelor's degree from [[St. Xavier's College, Mumbai]].
Mehra was close to [[Rekha]] during the mid-70s. Indeed, they were widely believed to have been married, but in a 2004 television interview with [[Simi Garewal]], Rekha denied having ever been married to him, and referred to him affectionately as a well-wisher (but in Rekha's unofficial biography The Untold Story by Yasser Usman, it is mentioned that Vinod Mehra, Rekha's rumoured husband, took her to his house in Bombay, after getting married in Calcutta, and Vinod's mother pushed the actress away when the latter tried to touch her feet)."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Indias-Greta-Garbo-breaks-silence/articleshow/717832.cms|title=India's Greta Garbo breaks silence|last=Mehta|first=Ruchika|date=3 June 2004|access-date=2008-11-23|work=The Times of India|archive-date=25 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825110012/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Indias-Greta-Garbo-breaks-silence/articleshow/717832.cms|url-status=live}}</ref> Mehra's first marriage to Meena Broca was arranged by his mother. The marriage was reportedly not consummated as [[Vinod]] had a [[heart attack]] shortly after the marriage. After he recovered, he eloped with his frequent leading lady of the time, [[Bindiya Goswami]]. Meena was left with no choice but to file for divorce. Mehra's relationship with Bindiya unraveled quickly, and she soon left him to marry director [[J. P. Dutta]].<ref>{{cite book |url=http://www.screenindia.com/20010921/fsalaam.html |title=Salaam Bollywood <!-- Excerpt : 18 --> |access-date=2008-11-23 |archive-date=3 December 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071203170112/http://www.screenindia.com/20010921/fsalaam.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 1988, Mehra married Kiran, daughter of a [[Kenya]]-based transport businessman. The marriage lasted until his death two years later and produced two children: a daughter named [[Soniya Mehra|Soniya]] (born in 1988) and a son named [[Rohan Mehra (born 1991)|Rohan]] (born posthumously). Mehra died of a heart attack on 30 October 1990.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/artists/vinod-mehra/biography/|title=Vinod Mehra Bio MTV|access-date=8 February 2014|archive-date=22 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222051650/http://www.mtv.com/artists/vinod-mehra/biography/|url-status=
After Mehra's death, his widow moved to [[Kenya]], to live with her parents and sister. The children were raised in [[Mombasa]] and went to the [[UK]] for higher education. Both entered the film industry eventually. Soniya made her Hindi film debut in the 2007 film ''[[Victoria No. 203 (2007 film)|Victoria No. 203]]'', a remake of the 1972 classic film [[Victoria No. 203|of the same name]]. Rohan made his debut in [[Nikhil Advani]]'s ''[[Baazaar]]'' (2018).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Vinod-Mehras-son-Rohan-will-be-launched-shortly/articleshow/48685004.cms |title=Rohan Mehra to make debut |access-date=19 August 2016 |archive-date=14 December 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161214120330/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Vinod-Mehras-son-Rohan-will-be-launched-shortly/articleshow/48685004.cms |url-status=live }}</ref>
