Rajesh Khanna is no more after being critically ill from last few months. He breathed his last in the presence of his ex-wife Dimple Kapadia, daughters Rinkie and Twinkle, son-in-law Akshay Kumar, grand children and close relatives.

From the dizzying heights of fame to quiet shadows behind the arclights, Rajesh Khanna's life had a theatrical sweep, almost like one of his films.


In an era long before this age of instant connect of mobile phones and internet, Rajesh Khanna was the man who sparked a frenzy never seen before and never since, not even by the likes of Amitabh Bachchan.

जिंदग़ी, कैसी है पहेली, हाय।
कभी ये हँसाए, कभी ये रुलाए।
ईश्वर अल्लाह बॉलीवुड के पहले सुपरस्टार की आत्मा को शांति दे।

This:-

In an era long before this age of instant connect of mobile phones and internet, Rajesh Khanna was the man who sparked a frenzy never seen before and never since, not even by the likes of Amitabh Bachchan.

His very name spelt magic in the 1970s. He sparked hysteria, particularly amongst his legions of women fans, who would line the road for a glimpse, chant his name, cover his car with lipstick marks and even write him letters in blood. They got married to his photograph, cut their finger, let the blood flow and applied 'sindoor'.


Heard similar stories from my mother also about her friends; she herself is a die-hard fan. Even Sharmila Tagore recently said the craze surrounding Rajesh Khanna is something unparallel till date.

RIP.

R.I.P.--->( Rajesh Khanna-JI)
I have seen many of his films during my childhood(age 11 onwards)--->teenage/youth days,he had a very natural charishma on his remarkable acting,which kept glued us on our seats.
The melodious tune of "KISHORE-KUMAR" was totally synchronised with his voice and songs in the films.
I am a huge "FAN" of Mr. Amitava Bacchan ,but still do Honour him(Late Rajesh Khanna-JI) of his legacy in his brilliant acting...
