Super Star Rajesh Khanna
Rajesh Khanna

If ever there was ever a Superstar who hit the Indian Screen like lightening it was Rajesh Khanna.

After the reign of the Triumvirate of Dilip Kumar,Rajkapoor and Dev Anand, it was Rajesh Khanna who breezed in with his impish Dev like smile, a nonchalant near swagger, twinkling eyes and a dialogue delivery that was an amalgamation of Dilipkumar and Dev Anand.

He was a phenomenon in the true sense of the term for his film ‘Aradhana‘ ran for over 25 weeks in Chennai at the prestigious Anand theatre.

Though many a Tamilian did not understand a word of Hindi , he had a huge fan following.

His films Kati Patang,Anand,Bawarchi ran to unparalleled acclaim and Houseful shows in Tamil Nadu which then professed anti Hindi sentiments.

Time is always swift and merciless.

It makes a man take some decisions which he would never have taken and it robs him even of remorse.

Be that it may, he had, at last ,his children by his side.

Sankaracarya says it all,

‘Ma kuruthana yavvana garvam,paravi nimesha Kaala sarvam’

Man, in his youth takes inordinate pride in his youth and  mastery over worldly affairs, but Time proves that it is the Master of All’

Babu Moshoi, Fare well.
