Farewell to our beloved superstar.

A tribute to Rajesh Khanna - the king of romance.

Izzatain shohratain chahatain ulfatain
koi bhi cheez duniya main rahti nahi
aaj main hoon jahan kal koi aur tha .. aaj main hoon jahan kal koi aur tha
Ye bhi ek daur hai woh bhi ek daur tha

Romantic cinemas in India were since forever, and actors like Dev Anand, Dileep Kumar were established as some of the best romantic actors. But none of them gave romance a new height of fun, energy and sensuality like Rajesh Khanna. His charm onscreen and off screen was so enchanting that  screaming women used to line the streets as he drove by, his car would have to be cleaned of lipstick marks every morning, countless female fans "married" photographs of him, applying sindoor with their own blood, and there were threats of suicide when he married the 16 year old Dimple Kapadia . 

Here is Rajesh Khanna giving his inspiring speech to the youth of Indian Film Academy where he told that there is no alternative to hardwork and patience.
                                     

 The one who taught not only how to live, but also how to die gracefully. The legendary role of 'Anand' was Kaka's real life story. He lived a large life and proved that "It doesn't matter how long your life is, but how large it is."



We had wished dear beloved Kaka a happy birthday and wished for our fortune to keep seeing him for a very long time through this post. But, our wishes were left unfulfilled and he was snatched away from all of his loving fans.

And keeping with our tradition of beautiful songs, here is one of the amazingly melodious tunes from the movie Bawarchi wherein, again Kaka told us about how to live our life serving others and no matter how great we become, our ultimate satisfaction lies only in serving others and to gain the real happiness through small things in life.  

"Kisi badi khushi ke intezaar mein … hum yeh chote chote khushiyoon ke mauke kho dete hain"

                                               Tum bin jeevan kaisa jeevan

                                     

Movie : Bawarchi
Music Director : Madan Mohan
Singer : Manna Dey
Rajesh Khanna, Asrani, Jaya Bhaduri

aalap
tum bin jeevan kaisa jeevan
tum bin jeevan kaisa jeevan
phool khile to dil murjhaye
phool khile to dil murjhaye
aag lage jab barse sawan

tum bin jeevan kaisa jeevan
tum bin jeevan kaisa jeevan

roothe tum jab se piya
roothe tum jab se
soona sa hai man ka dera
bairi hai duniya
bairi hai duniya
baante koi kyu dukh mera
apne aasun apna hi daman

tum bin jeevan kaisa jeevan
tum bin jeevan

kisko samjhaaaaun
kisko samjhaaaaun
guzri kya kya beeti kya kya
puchhe ye duniya
puchhe ye duniya

kiske haatho ye dil tuta
haal hua ye kiske kaaran

tum bin jeevan kaisa jeevan
phool khile to dil murjhaye
aag lage jab barse sawan
tum bin jeevan kaisa jeevan
tum bin jeevan
