Tejasswi Prakash, Helly Shah, Kunal Jaisingh, Shubhangi Atre, Suyyash Rai and Manish Goplani remmember Rajesh Khanna on his birthday.
Tejasswi Prakash:
I am really inspired and impressed by
Rajesh Khanna sir's work. His movies especially with Mumtazji
hold the record for being the romantic on-screen pair with 100 percent
success ratio at the "box office".Rajesh Khanna gave eight blockbusters opposite
Mumtaz. He won three Filmfare Best Actor Awards and was nominated for the same,
fourteen times. He was awarded with the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award.
His achievements are endless.
Suyyash Rai:
I
have read about Rajesh Khanna sir that he enjoyed the biggest possible
fan-following. Girls used to write him letters in blood. He would often be
mobbed by fans at public appearances. His cars used to be full of lipstick
marks of crazy fans. There were stories of females marrying his photograph. I
could just think how amazing he used to be. I have mostly loved all his films
and some songs like Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai, Karvaten Badalte Rahe and many more
are still in my playlist.
Shubhangi Atre:
Roop Tera Mastana from Aradhana, starring Rajesh Khanna Sir and Sharmila Tagore
Maam, made history in Hindi cinema as the first single-take song. And the song
is still loved by all of us.
Kunal Jaisingh:
Rajesh Khanna sir was a very kind and grateful person. He loved music as
his films were known for its chartbuster soundtracks and the actor used to
personally sit in music sessions and select tunes. He shared a great rapport
with Kishore Kumar and RD Burman who often worked with him.His songs and movies
are still my favourite and I get to learn a lot as an actor watching him.
Shayad Meri Shaadi Ka Khayaal, Prem Kahani Mein are my favourites.
Helly Shah:
The
most amazing fact about Rajesh Khanna sir was he was the first Bollywood actor
for whom the term Superstar was coined after he gave the blockbuster hit
film Aradhana. And now we all dream to be a Superstar His songs are
still enjoyed by the youth like Yeh reshmi Zulfein, Yeh jo Mohabbat hai and
many more.
Pearl V Puri:
Rajesh Khanna sir acted in films of almost every genre be it tragedy, thriller,
political adventure, fantasy, crime, action, family drama or movies addressing
issues of social awareness. Of the 163 movies, 97 were solo-hero films, 20 were
multi-starrers and 29 films had him in guest appearances. His work is still
appreciated and inspiring. I still enjoy his movies and listen his songs. My
playlists has songs like Chup Gaye Sare Nazare, Dilbar jani chali
to hawa mastani and many more.
Mahika Sharma:
When Rajesh Khanna was at the peak of his career and conferred the title of Indian cinema’s first superstar, many kids born in 60 and 70
are named Rajesh by their parents following Rajesh Khanna’s phenomenal
rise. It shows how successful he was to win hearts. I still love
performing to his songs like Jai Jai Shiv Shankar and Bindiya Chamkegi.
Manish Goplani:
Rajesh Khanna sir has record of hit movies. He made the world record of having
17 successive super-hits in three years from 1969-71 that included 15 consecutive solo super-hit films
and two solo-hero films namely Andaz and Maryada. He was favourite among
all age groups. His songs are still golden numbers. My favourites are Oh Mere
Dil Ke Chain, Yunhi Tum Mujhse.
