Rajesh Khanna passes away at 69
Mumbai, Jul 18 (Agencies): Bollywood's first superstar Rajesh Khanna passed away Wednesday at his Bandra residence after a prolonged illness, a family friend said. He was 69. "He is no more," a family friend told IANS. Rajesh Khanna’s health started deteriorating since April this year when the actor stopped taking food and complained of exhaustion and weakness. The actor has been rushed to Lilavati Hospital twice in the past one month. On June 20, it was reported that Khanna had stopped taking food. But the next day, he emerged at the balcony of his home `Aashirwad` in Carter Road in Bandra and had waved to his fans to assure that he was fine. But on June 23, he had to be admitted to hospital due to exhaustion and weakness. Just a day after being discharged from the hospital, Rajesh Khanna’s health deteriorated again following which the veteran actor was put on ventilator. He appeared in 163 feature films out of which 128 were as the lead protagonist including 106 as the solo lead hero. He also did 17 short films. He won three Filmfare Best Actor Awards and was nominated for the same fourteen times. He received the maximum BFJA Awards for Best Actor (Hindi) – four times and nominated 25 times. He was awarded the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005. Khanna is referred to as the "First Superstar" of Hindi cinema. He made his debut in 1966 with Aakhri Khat and rose to prominence with his performances in films like Raaz, Baharon Ke Sapne, Ittefaq and Aradhana.

Thanks for sharing.
Hi, great article it's exactly the point
very nice article man
You certainly have some agreeable opinions and views
I’ve been visiting your blog for a while now and I always find a gem in your new posts.
This is a very nice guide and I think much more in detail than many of the posts elasewhere
Your blog provides a fresh look at the subject
Thanks for sharing.
How does anyone expect diehard fans to respect a man who did not respect his own career, his hard earned stardom and humiliated his family over mid life crisis affairs and flings?
the kind of success he earned and got he deserved a lot more than he got. He must have regretted his ways. His daughters and wife supported him in the end.
He suffered mid life crisis and ditched his wife and his daughters for a younger actress. Today it is his estranged wife and his daughters who gave him a king size funeral filled with white flowers. Mid life crisis must be treatable it destroys superstars! All bw Superstars have fallen ill with it. They are treated like gods and when they dont get a natural hardon they go crazy run after younger women hoping it would help their self esteem issues.
Rajesh Khanna suffered badly the man who held the record for most diehard fans in bw history lost his diehard fans, his SUperstardom, his success and family and friends over ED which causes mid life crisis makes men chase younger women and destroy theor lifetime work for a hardon to feel masculine. It is a deadly silent killer.
PEOPLE, SHOW SOME RESPECT. THE MAN IS NO MORE. THIS ISN'T THE TIME OR THE PLATFORM TO SPILL YOUR PERSONAL UNDERSTANDING OF HIS CHARACTER. PERSONALLY, NONE OF YOU GUYS KNOW HIM AND ALL THIS ALCOHOLIC, CHEATED ON WIFE STATEMENTS, THERE ARE MANY ACTORS AND ACTRESSES THEMSELVES WHO HAVE CHEATED ON THEIR HUSBANDS/WIVES/PARTNERS. AS FAR AS I HAVE READ, RAJESH KHANNA HAD A GF BEFORE DIMPLE (ANJU IS HER NAME I BELIEVE. I COULD BE WRONG). THEN HE MARRIED DIMPLE BECAUSE ANJU WAS NOT WILLING TO SETTLE DOWN. THEN DIMPLE AND HIM DID NOT WORK OUT (BEAR IN MIND THERE WAS A HUGE AGE GAP). THEN HE OPENLY FELL IN LOVE WITH TINA MUNIM. I DON'T KNOW IF HE CHEATED OR NOT BUT EVEN IF HE DID, THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO SPEAK ABT IT! CLEARLY HIS FAMILY STILL LOVES HIM, SO WHO ARE YOU AND I TO SAY ANYTHING?!
RIP i loved his film amar prem...how sad
RIP Kaka.
Lets not make this a battleground between Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh or someone else!
RIP
Another legend leaves us too soon! RIP Rajesh Khanna.
He is MUCH MUCH better then Amitabh!
And he deserves much much more then what Amitabh is getting..
Amitabh is NOTHING compared to him..
So if you want to say bad things about Rajesh Khanna.. look at the other stars..
Plus, Rajesh Khanna was down to earth and very humble, UNLIKE the arrogant and Jerk of a human being called Amitabh
Some of the comments below r really disgusting. A person just died and u guys r saying bad things about him? Grow up people... my condolences goes to his loved ones. Rip Rajesh Khanna.
May he RIP <3 Condolences to his loved ones.
OMG guys stop spewing venom at each other for rumours of a man who has just passed away.
RIP KAKA you will never be forgotten.My grand mom told me of the kind of frenzy women had fo him at his peak and his films like Aradhana,Anand and Haathi Mere Sathi are one of my faves. Babu Moshai this time Anand has passed away for real leaving a void in our hearts that none can fill.RIP RAJESH KHANNA.
PS:To the anons below.Its disgusting to talk of a great,great man who has passed away in such lowly terms and it is even more pathetic that you can do so by comparing him with another legend and superstar.Both are the biggest legends of Indian cinema,no one before or after them can replace Kaka and Big B.
the first and only superstar and the original king of romance ! RIP
RIP!!
I also think that this world is unfair. People dont give a sh*t about good people when they go...but when a certain filmstar who worked in movies mainly because it was providing him females he could cheat with and easy money everyone is crying. Its sad he diesd...but hes not a legend...He has been an Alcoholic for many years and didnt give a damn about his children and wife. What we see on screen is reel not real!

This is DISGUSTING!!
Do you know that Amitabh cheated on Jaya, even MORE then Rajesh did to dimple?
Which superstar DIDN"T cheat on their spouses?
Yet Amitabh seems to be getting NO slacks at all.. he still has all his family ...
I feel so bad for Rajesh Khanna, who lost everything. Its such an injustice, because Rajesh Khanna is 100X better then Amitabh.. (look at Anand, you couldnt even REMEMBER that amitabh was in that movie)
he was just 69? RIP
I also agree...he was an alcoholist....cheated many times on his wife...left his family...Nothing to be proud of. I hope he rests in peace but hes no Hero...Hero on screen is just fiction...in real life he wasnt a good man
I read somewhere that it might be due to AIDS. Liver damage does not make him this weak..
RIP Rajesh Khanna. Like he said- Zindagi badi honi chayiye lambhi nahi
what happened to hishealth ?
used to love his films.
OMG!
RIP Babu moshai. Love you :'(
