[edit]Early life
Born on 29 December 1942, in Burewala (in present day Pakistan), Vehari District, West
Punjab as Jatin Khanna, Khanna was adopted and raised by foster parents – Chunni Lal
Khanna and Leela Wati Khanna,[21] who were relatives of his biological parents after his father
had migrated from pre-partitioned Pakistan to Gali Tiwarian in the city of Amritsar.[22] His
biological parents were Lala Hiranand and Chandrani Khanna and Lala worked as
headmaster of the MC High School in Burewala, Pakistan.[23][24] After his adoption, he was
known as "Jatin Khanna". Khanna lived in Saraswati Niwas[25] in Thakurdwar near Girgaon,
Mumbai (then called Bombay) and attended St. Sebastian’s Goan High School there, along
with his friend Ravi Kapoor, who later took the stage name Jeetendra, and whose mothers
were friends.[26] He completed his schooling from Hill Grange High School, on Pedder Road,
Mumbai, in 1959. Khanna gradually started taking interest in theatre and did a lot of stage and
theatre plays in his school[27] and college days and won many prizes in the inter college drama
competitions.[28] Khanna became a rare newcomer who struggled in his own MG sports car to
get work in theatre and films in the early sixties.[29] Khanna did his first two years of Bachelor of
Arts at Wadia College in Pune from 1959 to 1961.[30] Both friends later studied in K. C.
College, Mumbai.[31] Khanna also tutored Jeetendra for his first film audition. Khanna's uncle
changed Khanna's first name to Rajesh when Khanna decided to join films. His friends and his
wife called him Kaka.[32]
[edit]Early career (1966–1975)
Rajesh Khanna was one of eight finalists in the 1965 All India Talent Contest organised by
United Producers and Filmfare from more than ten thousand contestants.[33] Subsequently
Khanna won the contest.[34] He made his film debut in the 1966 film Aakhri Khatdirected
by Chetan Anand, followed by Raaz directed by Ravindra Dave both of which were a part of
his predetermined prize for winning the All-India United Producers’ Talent Competition.[35] G.P.
Sippy and Nasir Hussain were the first to sign Rajesh Khanna after he won the contest.
[36] Aakhri Khat was India’s entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 40th Oscar
Academy Awards in 1967.[37]Khanna in an interview to Hindu newspaper said,"Though “Aakhri
Khat” is my first film, I received my first break as a leading actor in Ravindra Dave's, “Raaz” in
1967. My heroine was Babita, already a popular actress then. Though I had lots of confidence,
I was shy in facing the camera initially. In my first three shots, I had to perform with stress on
my body language and dialogue delivery. Though I was right with my dialogues, my
movements were not up to the mark. Ravindra Dave explained me my scenes and
movements very clearly correcting my way of walking".[38] Being under contract with United
Producers, he got projects like Aurat, Doli and Ittefaq.[39] He was then noticed for his
performances in films like Baharon Ke Sapne, Aurat (1967), Doli, Aradhana and Ittefaq. In
case of Bahraon Ke Sapne, the response from the public in 1st week of run forced the film's
ending to be changed from a tragic one to happeier one from the 2nd week.[40] Later Waheeda
Rehman suggested Asit Sen to take Khanna for the lead role in Khamoshi.
[41] Through Aradhana he rose to "instant national fame" and film critics referred to him as the
first superstar of India.[42][43] In that film, Rajesh Khanna was cast in a double role (father and
son) opposite Sharmila Tagore and Farida Jalal. The film also saw the resurgence of Kishore
Kumar, who eventually became the official playback voice of Rajesh Khanna. The Kishore
Kumar-Rajesh Khanna combination worked miracles and it was almost impossible to see
them as separate identities. They became a singer-actor duo and together they gave many
songs till 1991.[44] Then in year 1971, Haathi Mere Saathi became the biggest hit and also
became the biggest grosser ever till then. Khanna is also credited with giving Salim Khan and
Javed Akhtar their first chance to become screenplay writers by offering them work in Haathi
Mere Saathi.[45] Javed Akhthar accepted in an interview "One day, he went to Salimsaab and
said that Mr. Devar had given him a huge signing amount with which he could complete the
payment for his bungalow Aashirwad. But the film's script was far from being satisfactory. He
told us that if we could set right the script, he would make sure we got both money and
credit."[46]
Rajesh acted alongside Mumtaz in eight successful films.[47] They were neighbours and got
along very well, and as a result they shared a great on-screen chemistry. After Khanna
married, Mumtaz decided to marry millionaire Mayur Madhwani in 1974. At the time, she was
doing three films Aap ki Kasam, Roti and Prem Kahani with Khanna. She decided to quit
movies only after completing these films. When she left films Khanna felt very lost. In one of
her interviews, Mumtaz was quoted saying "I would pull his leg and tease him about his fan
following. Whenever Rajesh entered a hotel in Madras, there was a queue of 600 girls waiting
to see him at midnight. As a result, even I would get some importance, as people would ask
for my autograph as well. He was very generous with his associates, and would party a lot."
During the peak of his career he would be mobbed during public appearances. Fans kissed
his car, which would be covered with lipstick marks, and lined the road, cheering and chanting
his name. Female fans sent him letters written in their blood.[48] There used to be a line of cars
of his producers and hysterical fans outside his bungalow every day. Actor Mehmood parodied
him in Bombay to Goa where the driver and conductor of the bus were called 'Rajesh' and
'Khanna'. Even today, he remains the favourite of mimicry artists, who copy his trademark
style and dialogue delivery. During the filming of Amar Prem there was a scene that needed to
be filmed at Howrah Bridgewith a boat carrying Khanna with Sharmila moving under the
bridge. The authorities ruled this scene out as they realised that if the public found out that the
hero of the film would be there, it may create problems on the bridge itself, and that it might
collapse due to the amount of people trying to get a glimpse of their favourite actor.[49] Film
critic Monojit Lahiri remembers “Girls married themselves to photographs of Rajesh Khanna,
cutting their fingers and applying the blood as sindoor. Rajesh was God, there has never been
such hysteria.”[50]
Several songs sung by Kishore Kumar in the 1970s were based on Rajesh Khanna. During
the filming of the song 'Mere Sapnon Ki Rani' in Aradhana, Sharmila Tagore was shooting for
a Satyajit Ray film and director Shakti Samanta had to shoot their scenes separately and then
join the scenes together.In the seventies, his chemistry with Sharmila Tagore, Mumtaz, Asha
Parekh, Zeenat Aman and Hema Malini were also popular with audiences.[51]
The BBC made a film on him, titled Bombay Superstar, in 1974, the shooting for which began
the same time when he got married and his film Daag premiered.[52] In the video it can be
noticed that Khanna was shooting for Aap Ki Kasam. A textbook prescribed by theBombay
University contained an essay, 'The Charisma of Rajesh Khanna!'.[53]
Sharmila Tagore said in interview to The Indian Express that "women came out in droves to
see Kaka. They would stand in queues outside the studios to catch a glimpse, they would
marry his photographs, they would pull at his clothes. Delhi girls were crazier for him than
Mumbai girls. He needed police protection when he was in public. I have never seen anything
like this before and since."[54]
Music remained one of the biggest attractions of all Rajesh Khanna films throughout his
career. Many of the musical scores for Khanna's films were composed by Sachin Dev
Burman, R.D. Burman and Laxmikant-Pyarelal. The trio of Rajesh Khanna, Kishore
Kumar and R.D. Burman went on to make a number of popular films, including Kati
Patang, Amar Prem, Shehzada, Apna Desh, Mere Jeevan Saathi, Aap Ki
Kasam, Ajnabee, Namak Haraam, Maha Chor, Karm, Phir Wohi
Raat, Aanchal, Kudrat, Ashanti, Agar Tum Na Hote, Awaaz, Hum Dono and Alag Alag.
Rajesh Khanna had 15 consecutive solo hit films between 1969 to 1971, which is still an
unbroken record in Indian film history.[55][56]Those 15 solo lead hero films were Aradhana, Doli,
Bandhan, Ittefaq, Do Raaste, Khamoshi, Safar, The Train, Kati Patang, Sachaa Jhutha, Aan
Milo Sajna, Mehboob Ki Mehendi, Dushmun, Anand and Haathi Mere Saathi.[6]
Khanna considered Guru Dutt, Meena Kumari and Geeta Bali as his idols. Khanna dislosed in
an interview," My inspirations include, Dilip Kumar's dedication and intensity, Raj Kapoor's
spontaneity, Dev Anand's style and Shammi Kapoor's rhythm."[38]
[edit]1976–1978
Between 1976 and 1978, Khanna acted in 5 box office hits and in nine films that were not
commercially successful. Seven of the unsuccessful films were critically acclaimed and have
achieved strong cult status over the years among the viewers and these films
included Mehbooba,[57] Bundal Baaz, Tyaag, Palkon Ki Chhaon
Mein, Naukri, Chakravyuha and Janta Hawaldar which were directed byShakti
Samanta, Shammi Kapoor, Din Dayal Sharma, Meraj, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Basu
Chatterjee and Mehmood Ali, respectively. Khanna persuaded Samanta to cast his sister-in-
law Simple Kapadia opposite him in Anurodh.[58] Films starring Rajesh Khanna and directed by
Shakti Samanta tended to be commercially successful, but Mehbooba was an exception.[59]
[60] The change from romantic and social movies to action oriented multi-starrers caused the
decline of Khanna's career in terms of box office ratings to some extent. The declaration of
emergency in India had angered the masses and this helped films having the lead character
revolting against corruption becoming successes. Actor Joy Mukherjee made Chhailla Babu, a
suspense thriller in 1977, which became the only successful film of his as a director[61] and the
unexpected success of the Chhailla Babu gave a boost to the career of Khanna.[62]However,
Khanna continued basically in solo hero social sober household meaningful films during this
era and played a variety of characters in films of various genres. During this phase too he had
box office hits like Maha Chor,[63] Chhailla Babu,[64] Anurodh, Karmand Bhola Bhala.
[edit]1979–1991
After 1978, Khanna starred in critically acclaimed commercially successful films[65][66] such
as Amardeep, Phir Wohi Raat,Bandish,[67] Thodisi Bewafaii, Dard, Kudrat, Dhanwan, Ashanti

Rishta,Nazrana, Angaarey, Adhikar, Amrit, Awam (from 1979–1991).
Director Bharathiraja decided to remake his 1978 Tamil box office hit film "Sigappu Rojakkal"
in Hindi with Khanna playing the role of a psychopath.[72] Kamal Haasan who played the same
role in Tamil won South Filmfare Best Actor Award for his portrayal.[73] But the Hindi movie was
seen as controversial by traditional and orthodox Hindi moviegoers and was not a commercial
success, although Khanna's performance has been rated later higher by critics than the
original.[74]
Tina Munim and Rajesh Khanna became the leading on and off screen couple of the 80’s with
hits like Fiffty Fiffty, Suraag, Souten, Aakhir Kyun, Bewafai, Insaaf Main
Karoonga and Adhikar.[75] Ram Awatar Agnihotri wrote that Tina Munim showed the first
sparks of the dedicated actress she would become in the films "Alag Alag" and "Adhikar", both
with Khanna.[76] His on screen pair with Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil,Padmini Kolhapuri and
Poonam Dhillon was also popular in the eighties[77] He also acted in the Marathi hit film
"Sundara Satarkar" in 1981.[78] He has performed in the least number of multi-starrer films in
comparison to his contemporaries and portrayed the central character in the few multistarrers
he acted. Khanna performed in successful multi-star films including Rajput,Dharm Aur
Qanoon,[79] Paapi Pet Ka Sawaal Hai, Zamana (1985), Dil-E-Nadaan and Ghar Ka Chiraag. He
did three potboiler movies with Jeetendra, which were blockbusters-Dharam Kanta,
[80] Nishaan and Maqsad.[81] In 1984, Maqsad was the second-highest ranked film in terms of
box office results, earning 8.5 crores.[82] Aaj Ka M.L.A. Ram Avtar is one of the memorable
political films of Rajesh Khanna. Khanna played the character of a corrupt politician in this film.
Viewers praised his role in the film.[83] The year 1985 saw him turn a producer with Alag Alag.
Eleven films, with Khanna in the lead, released in 1985 and eight of these became hits and in
addition had two films with him in special appearance.[84][85] Before joining politics one of his
last films as the lead hero was Swarg released in 1990. David Dhawan regards Swarg as his
most favourite directorial venture and said in an interview " Swarg did well. Though a serious
film, people even today talk about it as it struck a chord. I was working with Rajesh Khanna for
the first time. I shared a good rapport with him. He never threw tantrums on the sets."[86]
He experimented with films of different genres like tragedy in Babu as a rickshaw puller, thriller
in Redrose as a psycopath, political adventure in Awam, negative roles in Dhanwan and
Redrose, fantasy in Bundalbaaz and Jaanwar, crime in Phir Wohi Raat and Angarey,
suspense in Chakravyuha and Iteefaq, comedy in Bawarchi, Hum Dono and Masterji, action in
Ashanti, family dramas like Aanchal and Amrit and Agar Tum Na Hote, variety of social films
like Avtaar, Naya Kadam, Akhir Kyun and with different themes like reincarnation theme in
Kudrat, patriotism in Prem Kahani, immature young love theme handled in different ways in
films like Anokha Rishta, Nazrana and Dil E Nadan and did college romance in Bandish. He
has played variety of characters as the lead hero – as a postman in Palkon Ki Chaon Mein, as
a lawyer who proves that his senior has committed a rape 25 years earlier in Kudrat, as a
politician in Aaj Ka MLA Ram Avtaar, as a young musician forced by fate to marry two women
in Asha Jyoti, as professional advocate in Awaaz, fisherman in Prem Bandhan, a revolutionary
patriot who is torn apart by love and a policeman like in Prem Kahanai and as a righteous
farmer in Bandhan.
He shared a close relationship with R.D. Burman [87] and Kishore Kumar. The trio were friends
and have worked together in thirty two films.[88][89] Kishore Kumar had even credited Rajesh
Khanna for his resurgence, so much so that he sang for Alag Alag, the first film produced by
Rajesh Khanna without charging anything.[90][91] In 1985 Pancham found himself being
sidelined after failure of few films but Rajesh Khanna was among the few who continued to
stand by him.[92] Rajesh and Pancham worked together even after the death of Kishore in the
films Jai Shiv Shankar, the unreleased film Police Ke Peechhe Police (both produced by
Khanna ) and Sautela Bhai. Khanna even helped Leena Gangully and Amit Kumar in
completing Mamta Ki Chhaon Mein, the last film directed by Kishore who died before the
completion of the film.
Pyarelal of Laxmikant-Pyarelal duo quoted in an interview that “Rajesh Khanna was lucky for
us and we were lucky for him too. From the 1969 Do Raaste to the 1986 Amrit, we gave hits
together both as films and as music scores.... When we went on our first overseas concert
tour in 1984, he came and danced to three songs. He was very particular about his music and
would take a tape home if he could not assess a song. He would then give his feedback after
a day or two. But if he liked a song at the sitting, he would loudly shout “Wah! Wah!” in
appreciation…. It was God’s blessing that we came up with such a vast range of hit songs for
him, including in his home productions Roti and films like Chhailla Babu, Chakravyuha, Fiffty
Fiffty, Amar Deep and Anurodh. Incidentally, he had a stake inMehboob Ki Mehndi too.[47] He
had great interest in music and a terrific sense of melody too. His music is dominated by
Pancham (R.D. Burman) and us and we accepted Shakti Samanta’s Anurodh only because
Rajesh Khanna had some misunderstanding with Pancham then and did not want to work with
him."[47] Khanna would always request music directors to fit in Kishore Kumar wherever
possible. In fact, Kishoreda was very reluctant to sing "Waada Tera Waada" in Dushman and
suggested Laxmikant Pyarelal to get it sung by Rafi. Then Laxmikant made Kishoreda meet
Rajesh Khanna and Khanna winked at Laxmikant and told Kishoreda that in that case the
song should be scrapped. On hearing this Kishore immediately agreed to sing it by himself for
Khanna.[47]
Actors who were part of the cast of most of his films include Ashok Kumar, Sujit Kumar, Prem
Chopra, Madan Puri, Asrani, Bindu,Vijay Arora, Roopesh Kumar, Dina Pathak and A. K.
Hangal, who remained part of his " working team" since the start until the late eighties. The
lyricist whom he preferred for his movies was Anand Bakshi. Films by Shakti Samanta with
Khanna in the lead, music byPancham and lyrics by Anand Bakshi had people swooning over.
The films Samanta directed without Khanna in the eighties were duds.[93][94] His other close
friends from the film industry include Raj Babbar, J. Om Prakash, Prem Chopra, D. Rama
Naidu[95] andJeetendra.
Celebrities of the post-2000 era, like Madhur Bhandarkar, say that they take at least three or
four turns in Carter Road even today only to see Khanna.[96] The younger generation stars like
Imran Khan still regard Rajesh Khanna as someone who would take the top slot as the most
romantic hero of all time.[97] Shahrukh Khan idolises Rajesh Khanna and has opined,"Rajesh
Khanna you can’t touch".[98]Actor Tom Alter confessed “I still dream of being Rajesh Khanna.
For me, in the early 1970s, he was the only hero – romantic to the core, not larger than life, so
Indian and real – he was my hero; the reason I came into films and he still is.”[99] Actor Irrfan
Khan stated in an interview, "The kind of craze witnessed by Rajesh Khanna has not been
duplicated by anyone. He was the biggest and the most real star Bollywood has produced. I'd
say stardom is that feeling of being possessed by your idol; you are so overwhelmed with
euphoria you lose touch with reality."[100] The trend of wearing guru kurtas and belt on shirts
became famous in seventies and eighties because of Khanna.[101]
[edit]Later career (1991–2012)
From the early nineties, while serving as M.P. from 1991 to 1996, he returned to acting,
playing the lead in Khudai (1994), which was about a father and son both falling in love for the
same woman. After 1992, he appeared in only 10 films and declined most film offers. He
made a comeback as a NRI in Aa Ab Laut Chalen (1999), and Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa (2002) and
played the solo lead in films Sautela Bhai in 1996, Pyar Zindagi Hai in 2001 and Wafaa in
2008. He did 4 television serials in the period 2000–2009.
[edit]Television
Khanna was a life member of the International Film And Television Research Centre, the
International Film And Television Club and theAsian Academy of Film & Television.[102] He was
the Guest Faculty of 'Specialised Cinema Courses At Asian School Of Media Studies'. On 10
April 1999 Khanna inaugurated the live concert of S.P. Balasubramanyam held at Lal Bahadur
Shastri Stadium, Hyderabad as a tribute to Pancham.[103] In 2001 and 2002, Rajesh played the
lead in two television serials: Aapne Parai (B4U & DD Metro)[104] and Ittefaq (Zee TV).[105] He
performed in a video album based on Tagore's songs (Rabindra Sangeet) without payment.
[106]He also endorsed Star se Superstar tak – a talent hunt programme in 2007 and donated a
Gold Trophy of Rs.1 crore. In its Silver Jubilee Episode on 14–15 March 2008, K for
Kishore aired a Rajesh Khanna special. He signed on to star in a TV serial with Creative Eye
Banner (Dhiraj Kumar) in 2007, and in 2008 performed in a TV serial, Bhabhima, with Leena
Ganguly as his co-star. His successful TV serial Raghukul Reet Sada Chali Aayi began in
November 2008 and ended in September 2009.[107] Khanna cited the lack of good roles for
actors like him in the films as the reason for him not appearing much in films after 2001. He
said in an interview on being queried about his decision to do TV serials, "The reach of TV is
much more than cinema today and one episode of my serial is likely to be watched by more
people than a super-hit film".[108] In 2009, on his 67th birthday, Shemaroo
Entertainment released his films and a song collection titled Screen Legends-Rajesh Khanna-
the Original Superstar.[109] In May 2012, Havells, the fan making company endorsed Khanna
as Brand Ambassador for their new ad campaign featuring him in solo advertisements.[110]

the divorce proceedings.[119][120] In the eighties Tina Munim was romantically involved with
Khanna till the time she decided to leave the industry to pursue her higher studies.[121] Khanna
and Kapadia however maintained an amicable relationship where they both were seen

not his live-in partner.[128][129]

[edit]Reactions
Following his death, there was a quick spate of reactions from within the Bollywood fraternity.
The President of India condoled the passing away of the actor. In a press release she said "I
am saddened to learn about the passing away of Rajesh Khanna. In his prime as an actor he
was the heartthrob of the young generation of 1970s, who tried to model themselves on him
and his style." She added "In the hit film 'Anand', his dialogue "Arrey oh baabu mushoy hum to
rangmanch ki kathputliyan hain jiski dor us upar wale ke haathon main hai kab, kaun kahan
uthega ye koi nahin janta"[clarification needed] is so poignant today."[151]
Other celebrities who paid homage to him at his house included Rishi Kapoor, Prem
Chopra and Sajid Khan.[5] Shah Rukh Khanreacted on Twitter in writing: "To live with intention
and walk to the edge. Play with abandon, choose with no regret. Smile and made us do the
same. Sir, you defined our era. Whenever life felt tough u made us feel how love could change
it all. RIP." Mumtaz also added that she had memories of having working with him,
while Shahid Kapoor also wrote on Twitter: "RIP to the 1st king of romance...Rajesh
Khanna." Subhash Ghai added that Khanna "was the powerhouse of Hindi film industry. I met
him on the sets of Aradhna, he had some kind of energy and you will be charged when he is
around you. His name will be written in golden words." Madhuri Dixit wrote on Twitterthat "as
another of Hindi cinema's giants passes, Rajesh Khanna. Our sincere condolences to his
family. We will miss him dearly."Amitabh Bachchan wrote on Twitter: "The word 'superstar'
was invented for him, and for me it shall ever remain his, and no others .. !!His generation and
the generations that follow, shall never be able to describe, or understand his phenomena .. !!"
.[152] Hema Malini said that "we always thought he would come back [from the hospital]. We are
in shock right now." His son-in-law Akshay Kumar told reporters about his death and added
that "he has gone to a nice and heavenly place. I am happy that he has gone there and hope
that everyone will pray for him."[153]
Vyjayanthimala commented that "his death is a big loss to the industry. It's my bad luck that I
didn't have the chance to work with him because he came much later. I remember when he
came to Chennai for some film shoot the college girls went crazy to catch a glimpse of him
when he was going to his studio."[154] Manna Dey said: "He was a great actor, truly a superstar
no doubt about it. I am honoured to have done playback for him. I have worked for him in
several movies and actors like him are a rarity."[155] Mrinal Sen recollected how Khanna had
wanted to cast him in one of his films, but the latter could not manage due to date problems.
"We had met several times. Once I had wanted to cast him in one of my films but somehow
that didn't work out due to his date problems."
Buddhadeb Dasgupta said Khanna's acting would continue to inspire young actors in future.
"He was a great actor and was the first superstar. He was a much bigger star than Amitabh
Bachchan. He was a craze when we were in school and college. His acting will continue to
inspire young actors of the coming generations."[156] Rituparno Ghosh said: "In the film Anand,
Khanna delivered some of Indian cinema's most memorable dialogue. The use of the
word babu moshai for Amitabh Bachchan, who played a Bengali doctor in the film, is so
deeply etched in the minds of Indians that it has almost become a synonym for Bengalis for
the rest of the countrymen. In a dhoti and kurta, you showed the rest of India how truly elegant
Bengal was."
Film historian S. M. M. Ausaja added: "He never acted in a Bengali cinema. But right from the
late 1960s to the 70s he was the top star and worked with the top directors of his era, most of
whom were Bengalis."[157] There were also reactions from the Gali Tiwaria where the his
ancestral house was, and had since been converted to a temple through his donation. Songs
from his movies were played as the news of his death became known. His foster brother Muni
Chand Khanna said that "he used to love to play cricket when he lived here. He was a simple
boy when he lived here and led a simple life even after achieving so much."[22] As were the
residents ofBurewala, Pakistan.[158]
Additionally, those within the political spectrum that offered their condolences included Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh who said that he "convey[s] my heartfelt condolences to the
members of the bereaved family and countless fans and admirers of Shri Rajesh Khanna."
INC President Sonia Gandhi also expressed her sorrow. Regional political leaders who offered
their condolences includedChief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banerjee who said: "Rajesh
Khanna was always a symbol of romance. His smiling face and the ability to connect with
people at ease had made him popular. We lost a big pole star in the film world today;" as well
as Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who added that "his death has caused irreparable loss to
Hindi cinema."[5]
Condolences also came from Pakistan where Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf called
Khanna a "great actor whose contribution to the field of films and arts would be long
remembered. [He had a] large fan following across the borders and captivated audiences with
his excellent acting skills." Ali Zafar wrote on Twitter: "Rajesh Khanna – RIP. So many fond
memories from his movies and songs," whileSyed Noor said: "Rajesh Khanna was such a
huge actor of the subcontinent that he will be remembered by the people for many years to
come. The era he reigned over is unlikely to be experienced by any other actor of this
subcontinent." Geo TV also aired a nearly hour-long tribute with contributions from actors,
filmmakers and musicians.[154]
