An era of superstardom, style, and Bollywood at its peak passed away this afternoon, as Rajesh Khanna, fondly known as Kaka, breathed his last.
The
man who introduced the term 'superstar', was critically ill and stopped
responding to medical treatment. He was suffering from cancer, and was
earlier admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, from where he was
discharged and brought home. The 69-year old, in his younger days was
part of epic movies like Aradhana, Anand, Kati Patang, Amar Prem, Bawarchi
and numerous other projects that stole the hearts of million over the
country. His record of delivering 15 consecutive hits is yet to be
broken by any actor. Rajesh Khanna's followers would even write letters
inked with blood to their favourite movie star.
He is survived by estranged wife Dimple Kapadia, and daughters Rinki Khanna and Twinkle Khanna. Bollywood and films of India offer their deepest condolences to his family.
Bollywood's celebs expressed their condolences via tweets. Here are some of them:
