You have experienced a media blitzkrieg after the passing away of Bollywood’s first superstar – Rajesh Khanna. All the TV Channels went 24X7 on the ‘Phenomenon’ called Rajesh Khanna.
I don’t have anything extra to say than what has already been said but share with you some rare images from Babumoshai (‘Gentleman’ in Bengali)!
My personal favourites are the one of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia with their first born daughter and the happy family portrait of Rajesh Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Twinkle and Rinkie. Yeah the one of Hrishikesh Mukherjee with Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan in ditto very 70s style printed shirt is cool one too. The lip-lock picture of Rajesh Khanna with starlet Laila (who was murdered) in the unfinished movie Wafa is best not commented upon.
Rajesh Khanna – the first ever superstar of bollywood
He was a real phenomenon, a actual trend, he was not a action hero, but one of the real star, have liked all his films, Bawarchi, Daag, Avatar are preferred
Bawarchi – “It’s so simple to be happy but so difficult to be simple”
Have overheard his fan following exclusively with females, they were insane for him
Have liked his pair with Sharmila Tagore & Mumtaz
His work in avatar was really classy
His marriage with Dimple was a little unusual, considering the age factor
He was a real stud, a superstar
His pair with Hrishikesh Mukherjee was simply grt as they have delivered many gud & sensible movies
He was one actor who has netted super stardom on his own
Long stay the era of RK – sixties & seventies
We will all miss rajesh sir.. he is and will always remain the superstar of this industry!!!
