Indian film actor Rajesh Khanna passes away

Rajesh Khanna

Mumbai - Actor Rajesh Khanna died at his home in Mumbai. He was 69 and suffering from cancer.
Mr Khanna will be cremated on Thursday while his bungalow, Aashirwad, on Carter Road in Bandra has been cordoned off by the police.
Mr Khanna had been hospitalised on June 23, when he was taken to Lilavati Hospital to be treated for exhaustion, and spent some days having tests. He was discharged just yesterday.
Worried fans had lined up outside Aashirwad on June 21 when Mr Khanna was said to have stopped eating. He was later reported to be "more than fine" by son-in-law, actor Akshay Kumar. Mr Khanna himself appeared on his balcony, visibly weak and wearing dark glasses, to wave at his fans and give them the victory sign. Mr Khanna had also been hospitalized for a few days in April this year.
Mr Khanna's ex-wife, actress Dimple Kapadia, has nursed him through his illness. They have two daughters together - Twinkle, who is expecting her second child with husband Akshay Kumar, and Rinke who is married to businessman Sameer Saran.
Mr Khanna was the top actor in Indian film industry during the Seventies and early Eighties, and is considered to be its first real superstar. He was the star of romantic comedies and dramas such as Anand, Aradhana and Kati Patanag. He won three Filmfare awards in his long career. Mr Khanna also held a Lok Sabha seat as a Congressman from 1992-1996.
He breathed his last in the presence of his wife Dimple Kapadia, daughters Rinkie and Twinkle, son-in-law Akshay Kumar, grand children and close relatives.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has condoled the death of the legendary hero.

    The first and the only Super Star , a phenomenon in real sense of the word , a legend in own right , his style unique , his voice unique , unique his each move , each andaz , unique too dancing style , dialogue delivery , his dress sense and his hair style , girls and women alike ; men and boys alike crazy of his each unique gesture in act each so was our most loved Mr KC fame and most fondly called Kaka Rajesh Khanna .

    Every college gathering , each gali koocha goonj uthhta thha usske parde pe gaaye gaanoa ke saathh aur ladke ladkiyan dance karti thhin usske apne se andaz se he .

    16 continuous super hit films in a row , none other than kaka Rajesh Khanna managed , not before him not after him and am sure none shall too here after .

    What a pleasant charming smile , his smile brought smiles , girls married his photograph , cutting own finger letting blood flow unto part placing blood as sindoor .

    Now you have several so called super stars , but in times of rajesh Khanna there was and only one and first ever Super Star Kaka Rajesh Khanna ♥

    Thhik film Anand mein bole dialogue ki tarah…{ Suna hai uss Hospitak ke bahar jahaan ilaz huya…bahar loagon ko V banakar smile karta thha Kaka…discharge hone se pehle…} so thhik Ananad film mein kahe iss dialogue ki tarah…, " Aise he nikal jaunga ek din " … hamara Babu Moshaye chala geya humein chhodd kar…Usski duniya mein … love you Kaka, Love you Babu Moshaye.

    This comlpletly unforgettable.. Dil Jane mere sare Bhed yeh Gehre Ho gaye Kaise mere sapane sunhare, yeh mere sapane yehi hai to apane mujhse juda na honge enke yeh saye..

    This song is like……flash back of life own…:(( ; dil mei chhed , dil ke bhed , dil mein he bane rahe…huye na kabhi sapne sunehre…aur Anand ka babu moshaye … sookhe phool ki pattiaan smbhalta reh geya apni kitaab mein…:((

    Hum sab Usske rang manch ki kathhputliyaan hain …
