Rajesh Khanna passes away at the age of 69

Bollywood Life mourns the death of the original super star who had been ailing since April 

Bollywood’s first superstar Rajesh Khanna passed away on Wednesday, July 18 at his Bandra residence after a prolonged illness, a family friend said. He was 69. ”He is no more,” a family friend told IANS. The veteran actor Rajesh Khanna was discharged from Lilavati Hospital on Monday.

“He was accompanied by his family members,” said the source. Khanna was admitted to Lilavati on June 23 and spent two weeks there before he was discharged. He was admitted there again on Saturday, July 14 following “weakness”. The actor has been battling health issues since April. Khanna featured in hits like Aradhana and Amar Prem in the 1970s and was out of the limelight for many years after turning to politics. The superstar’s last rites will take place at 11am tomorrow in Mumbai.

death is a universal truth. it is better to die peacefully when one not only becomes burden on himself but on others. can you avoid this? no. suffering is also awarded by the almighty. one has to accept it gracefully.i pray to almighty, let rajesh take the rebirth at the earlist and lead the same life style. let his soul leave in peace. loss of father is irreversible. may god give power to his daughters to face this trageic moment. thanks. wishing all the success and happiness for his near and dear to get the same fame and name .

Dear friends All fans of KAKA, we have a special information for you some thing to be very proud about type the name Rajesh Khanna in google and just see the number of links which appear – 5 CRORES 88 LAKHS and continously increasing , second only to Salman Khan who has 6 .5 Crores , Amitabh Bachchan has 4.50 Crores , Shaharukh 3.20 Crores , Aamir 4.50 Crores , Dev Anand – 45 lakhs , Shammi Kapoor 33 lakhs , Shashi Kapoor 33 lakhs , Dilip Kumar 46 lakhs , Raj Kapoor 55 lakhs, Dharmendra 66 lakhs , Hrithik Roshan 1.50 Crores . And at the pace its increasing he may overtake Salman too , in the morining when i saw it was 5.20 Crores its now close to 6. Now its responsibility of the fans of Rajesh Khanna and the media to highlight this … The Tiger roars again

Now the whole world has come to know the real and true Super Star Rajesh Khanna of Indian Cinema. No actor can even match that Talent. My Salute to the one and only King of Romance. Even though there were few good actors from Bollywood. Now thinking back. We truly feel no one had the edge like Rajesh Khanna. May God bless his soul. He is true and complete actor. It seems acting comes naturally for him. Such a rare talent.
