Tribute to Actor Rajesh Khanna 796 Today, I am compelled to feature another fascinating personality from the Bollywood film industry, none other than the late Rajesh Khanna, in my blogs. Four decades ago, his dominance in Bollywood was not an exaggeration. He held the title of the first superstar and the highest-paid actor for nearly a decade. Known for his versatile acting and stylish looks, he left a significant impact on cine fans. His films were infused with enchanting songs, music, compelling stories, and, above all, wonderful cinematography. The collaboration between the late director Shakti Samanta, music stalwart S.D. Burman, and Rajesh Khanna's performances created magic in the industry that no one can deny. Working with top-class actors and directors like the late Manmohan Desai and Raj Khosla added to his illustrious career. Shakti Samanta played a crucial role in giving Rajesh Khanna a breakthrough and establishing his stardom. Among the many memorable films to his credit, I've personally enjoyed classics such as Bawarchi, Anand, Aradhana, Kati Patang, Andaz, Sachaa Jhutha, Dushman, Amar Prem, Apna Desh, and others that slip my mind at the moment. Even though he has left us, his memorable songs and films remain a testament to his talent. Rajesh Khanna received numerous accolades, including a feature in the popular Outlook magazine, recognizing him as one of the outstanding stars of his time. Remembered as one of the finest and most charming actors by millions of fans, I am pleased to pay tribute to this stalwart. K. Ragavan. 11-12-23 Until we meet again next week.
