The first Superstar of Indian cinema,A great Performer and The Legend , Rajesh Khanna!

They say that if there was ever a superstar in the Indian Film Industry, it had to be Rajesh Khanna. There may be romantic leading men and icons in Bollywood but there is and will be only one superstar for his ability to take cinematic love to legendary heights.

He was the "ultimate phenomenon" and he was made to believe that there was no one like him and there could be no one like him. He believed them and behaved like God on earth. 
His fashion and style statement was evident in all the colleges across India. Such was the impact of a man who, with the rigorous use of his voice to communicate a character's lines like 'Pushpa...I hate tears' and 'Babumushai...zindagi jo hain woh badi honi chahiye, lambi nahi' express emotions, which he achieved through attention to diction and commitment to his character.

Girls kissed his car, wrote love letters to him in their own blood with doctors attesting that their blood was genuine; girls kept his photographs under their pillows in the hope of seeing him in their dreams. Young men tried their best to look like him. There were many duplicates. The guru 'kurta' which he wore in his film became the fashion among thousands of young men and he was loved by people of all ages, from six to ninety. There was certainly no star like him before...
Why couldn't anybody replace him? Why since four long decades 'Kakaji's' superstar status is still not passed on? Because he had the biggest and the maddest fan following, especially his female fans. They would write love letters to him soaked in blood. They would kiss his car and faint. They wouldn't marry anybody in their life for they dedicated their life to Rajesh Khanna.

A career marked by awe-inspiring fan following and extraordinary success, Rajesh Khanna made a mark in Bollywood and still remains one of the most beloved actors.

The Aging Emperor had left his throne years ago, but he is still an Emperor at heart!
