Aisa muh leke tv pe aane ki zaroorat kya hai?" about that fans ad. I loved that ad as he showed guts to take on his old rival on his own turf.<br /><br />My first memories of him are the songs from Soutan and Aaj ka MLA (Tirupati Balaji jai ho tumhari Balaji) played on Binaca Geet Mala. I became aware of his golden period only after the VCR boom. :)Paresh Palichahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521084555278491021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-37089141768280352632012-07-21T01:57:58.527+05:302012-07-21T01:57:58.527+05:30I simply loved your last paragraph.

But then who doesn't know Rajesh Khanna? <br /><br />What difference it would have made had RK died post- Aradhana?<br /><br />I can't stop wondering...<br /><br />Like Saahir Ludhianvi wrote for 'Kabhie Kabhie'- Main Pal do Pal ka shayar hoon... pal do pal meri kahaani hai... pal do pal meri hasti hai... pal do pal meri jawaani hai...<br /><br />An actor walks his shadows, becomes a recluse in the last stages of his life and when he dies, the stage that he once ruled comes alive again. Chants in his glory are sung again and his death is mourned. A grandeur, a spectacular replay of his glorious career, followed by a refrain that he left a void that would never be filled. But, how strange. Didn't the yesteryear star just vacate his throne for another to occupy and the process keeps repeating till there is hunger for fame, money and name. And yet they mourn the passing of an era, and say he will never be forgotten. Death steals the attention and brings back the spotlight. It seems to me like a sublime tragedy. An unexplained paradox....<br /><br /><br />RIP, RK. The melodies you had been the face of will be remembered forever.<br /><br />Anand mara nahi... anand marte nahi....Sepiamniachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775772565154050637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-41924752761856103432012-07-20T00:17:58.135+05:302012-07-20T00:17:58.135+05:30yes....how come so soon...but yet as he said...&qu...yes....how come so soon...but yet as he said..."babumosai hum sab rang manch ki katputaliyan hai.... kaun kab kaise uthega"...........yet he ll always there romancing music and incredible sharmila tagore and mumtaz ......immoratalised in cinema!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-76402553985554917612012-07-19T19:33:05.512+05:302012-07-19T19:33:05.512+05:30Rajesh Khanna was a legend in his life time.

All true lovers of music and graceful action will miss him for a very long time. Thanks for every thing Mr.Khanna.
