Time is up. Pack Up – The
last word which the superstar uttered before he breathed last on 18th
July 2012. Men have come and men have gone but there’s one man who will always
live in our memories and reminiscences, because this special man has made a
special place in all our hearts.
‘Babumoshai…’ –
This line always echoes in my head whenever I think of you.
The famous bollywood actor,
often called as ‘The First Superstar of Indian Cinema’ breathed last at his
residence ‘Aashirwad’ in Mumbai on Wednesday and no soon did he do that, grief
and shock gripped the nation.
It’s very difficult in life
to practice what we preach. Kaka did
so. He lived up to his famous dialogue - ‘Zindagi badi honi chahiye… lambi nahi.’
From ‘Aakhri Raat’ in 1966 to his first hit movie in 1969 ‘Aradhana’, from ‘Amar Prem’ to ‘Anand’ in
the next decade, this gentleman made his identity as a person who was far
beyond the term called ‘Actor.’ The world considered him an ICON.
I still believe that the
word ‘Superstar’ was invented for him and for the years to come, it shall
always remain his. Experts say, “Rajesh Khanna gave us a crash course in
Romance. He introduced us to the special twinkle in the eye that made us feel
good about ourselves.”
It’s hard to believe that a
legend of an era of melodious songs is lost. The world shall miss the sadness
of ‘Kahin door jab din dhal jaye’ and
the joy of ‘Mere sapno ki raani kab
aayegi tu.’
We laughed when we saw you
making ads for Havells but today we all are crying because we want to
communicate the message to you Kakaji – ‘Aapke
fans aapse koi nahi cheen sakta’
It was nothing less than
God’s own blessings to all those who had a chance to work with this movie
star.
The
epitome of superstardom is no more amongst us. There was none, there is none
and there won’t be any like you Kakaji
