Rajesh Khanna
Date of Birth: 29th December 1942
Superstar of the 1970s, Rajesh Khanna's real name is Jatin. He won an All India Talent Contest and entered Bollywood in 1966, but it was the film Aradhana opposite Sharmila Tagore that brought him stardom.
Between 1969 and 1974, he delivered 15 consecutive hits and became a rage. Young Indian women were besotted with him and his mannerisms, and the tales about his fan following are legendary.
In the mid-1970s as Bollywood moved away from romantic films to action, Rakesh Khanna's popularity began to decline. Subsequently he was seen in several family dramas.
In early 1990s he quit acting and entered politics.
Rajesh Khanna was said to be involved with Anju Mahendru, but married actress Dimple Kapadia when she was just 16. They have two daughters, Twinkle and Rinkie. Rajesh and Dimple separated in 1984, following which he dated actress Tina Munim.

Mr Khanna: It is definitely pay back time for your past. You left Anju for Dimple, you broke Anju's heart. You went to Tina after you broke up with Dimple. You left Anju, you and Dimple left each other and Tina left you. Go on with your life.

If you see movies of Rajesh Khanna like Aradhana, Khomoshi, Kati Patang, Bowarchi and Anand. You will forget everything and would say what a peformance!In my opininon he has given very good movies to Indian Cinemas. He is not comparable to any of the Actor if you compare his performance, popoularity and box office performance having a long list of hits which itself says that he is a great actor.

Super Star Sri Rajesh Khanna is the only real super star of indian cinema. No acor can match his charisma and the fan following enjoyed by him. He will always be remembered as the first super star of indian cinema. He reigned as uncrowned king of bollywood. There was only 1 super star in his era unlike a dozen supestars today. His acting touches the heart. All his great movies are to be watched along with family.

He was only the actor who has given consecutive 15 hits in the Indian Film Indusry. He will be remembered always for good romantc films having very good musical composition. He was having very goods chemistry with Kisore Kumar and R D Burman. But in the later part of sevanties his regular appearence in the film without understanding the choice of the filmgoers make him rejected. But I still hope that he will give a mega hits in the near future which will establish him again.

Super Star Rajesh Khanna irrevocably impacted Indian cinema and culture like no actor before him. His acting perfection and application of talent were drawn solely from his inward vision. Super Star Rajesh Khanna did not cultivate the phenomenal attributes that created his "superstardom" by reason or will, but through the connectedness to his own persona that the masses then idealized. For he is one who is impervious as to who is ahead and who is behind. Super Star Rajesh Khanna’s inward vision, a special gift from the divine leads him always. Today he is the indomitable and highly respected veteran of one hindred and fifty films. For me, he is like the Cary Grant of India. Both actors are Capricorns that have played the widest variety of roles without ever bankrupting the fascination of the audience. Super Star Rajesh Khanna is the platinum standard for landmark performances and sheer screen presence. Ever since the camera discovered his photogenia it has been having a love affair with it. His Byronic inspirations of romance as autographed elegantly on screen endure. Super Star Rajesh Khanna is a Greatest Legend because he kindles our affections at the highest denominators and that is a life nobly lived means.
