Rajesh khanna-An open letter

Rajesh khanna-An open letter
Some advice to Rajesh Khanna from a fan-atic fan.
Dear friends
It was good to see the recent article on Rajesh khanna starring again in a fim with Ms Zeenat Aman. But the pic accampanying the article was a caricature with Kaka ( Rajesh) dressed as a joker “romancing ” Ms Aman.
For a moment , I was stunned . With so many excellent young directors and editors/storytellers around today , incl the ever dependable Yash Chopra- to whom Kaka gave a huge break by starring in his first home production - DAAG- is this all that he can do?
Here are some serious questions that fans like me wld like to ask him…if he is really serious about a third comeback- (AVTAAR was the second comeback…)..if there are other wellwishers of Kaka who wld like to add more points, you are welcome.
Here Goes…
Why dont you and Amitabh get together and act in a high octane , powerpacked movie like copies of Heat - stg pacino and deniro or the french movie 36 stg 2 top french superstars depardieu and pascale or some of the fantastic , fast paced dialogue and action packed chinese crime movies featuring older stars?
the cat and mouse game between the actors in these movies are fabulous with great lines full of drama and wit.
Why dont you bury all old hatchets and make the move to work with someone like Javed or Anupam kher(in his avatar as director of classy films like Maine gandhiji ko nahin maara) or dev nihalani / ramgopalverma( you can do Sanjeev Kumar’s THAKUR role in his new version of SHOLAY) etc to come up with a really hard hitting social movie? also , you must work with Mr Yash chopra in a significant role- maybe opposite Amitabh in an epic story with multiple angles…Just imagine a pumped up Kabhie Kabhie or Trishul or Kane and Abel with powerful senior roles for you both?Or even 2 godfathers fighting it out in an epic 3 hr underworld saga?
Why dont you get into roles that really suit your age and looks with a strong dialogue driven edgy and gritty script focussing on political/criminal/social issues, directed by someone who can make it fast paced and tightly plotted?make sure the editor is the best in the business today.
Even though the press does not talk about it , many people in the film industry and your fans know how much your fall out with Salim Javed, Yash , Ramesh Sippy and Manmohan Desai cost you - you were the first choice - and they discussed roles for you - in Seeta aur Geeta,Sholay,Deewar,Kabhie kabhie,Suhaag etc etc but you never had the sense either to understand how significant these scripts were or to make up and work with them later on- the best people in the business when they were at their peak..
Why dont you completely forget about the old and in todays context- dated style of yours and just be totally natural and spontaneous?use your assets- the golden voice which has been burnished by age to say words beautifully and with depth.
pl look at some of the best movies of jack nicholson, al pacino ,clint eastwood, robert deniro , jack lemmon , even walter matthau etc to come up with some totally fresh ideas..there are so many hard hitting movies featuring senior stars , you will be spoilt for choice…what do u think Amit is doing? He is today the Indian Sean Connery backed by great PR.He is doing a great job WITHIN his limitations.
Also , at this stage pl play urban roles with cool and classy dark single-breasted suits as your major signature dress instead of all the dowdy ethnic stuff we are tired of seeing you in? also , do work out a little bit every day in your gym..And , get a shave pl…maybe you shd try your ASHANTI look…that will be cool today on you. By the way , wavy long hair always suited you best …any ideas of how to approximate that today??
So in short, work on tightly scripted ,dialogue driven urban thrillers where every scene must make an impact..forget about songs etc..pick films and directors like Amit does…socially relevant yet hardhitting.
at this stage ,it is script,impactful dialogues and delivery, spontaniety and pace that will help you come back
on top of all this, you need to hire a great PR guy to put you back front and center in the media.
Mr Khanna, you gave us a lot of pleasure many years ago. You still have atleast 10 yrs to go.If you are really serious about acting, pl work with the right people in the right roles.There is no need for you to do supporting shit now, at this stage of your life.You are a legend , no doubt , and no one can take that away from you so pl dont undermine your legacy by doing crap work today.
We wld love to see you and AMIT again today in a powerpacked Yash Chopra or RGV epic - scripted by Javed.You guys are all running out of time and this will be one for the ages..like Sholay or Anand.
Pl bury all the old, dead hatchets and make this happen - else why act today?
You know if that a great movie is made with you and Amit on an epic scale and is promoted well , it will break all records
good luck and all the best
Also an open letter from a fan.
Dear Mr.Khanna,
Despite the fact that you have been given two or three opportunities to view and act in haunting up to date love stories{that would work at the box-office for you} you chose to bash down the telephone with four letter words{profanity galore} Then you appear with Zeenat Aman & you look ridiculous & dated and you are going to wonder where you failed or where your following failed you?
Firstly,
everyone should know that you are the world’s biggest spoiled sport- and ingrate -that you are at the emotional mercy of Dimple who is not the best judge of what you should or should not act in.Everyone should know HOW SCARED you are of DImple-that is how foolish you are- a wasted career to seduce a minor-with little or no education- Take the step to divorce- I can’t see your career being rec=vibved uness you snap ties with your ex- that kind of being on a leash is embarrassing-pls!!!
You have been given SOUND advice by a person ata distance & you have ignored - not wise not sound- a glutton for punishment are you??Answer your telephone- make that last gracious pghase just that- break ties with the past DIMPLE_ divorce or reunite -but on a chain???? How can you act if your life is such a mess?
Aashirawaad she wants the house for the children so why is anyone holding you hostage- in beingwith Dimple on paper you are investing MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE_Five years ago you were given a last chance & you blew it- if it ever returns take it-
Good Night & Good Luck
All the Best too
Greetings ,Rajesh Khanna,
For all the happiness you have given us on screen one would have expected you to have been more shrewd in all your undertakings.When you were a superstar -it was about statistics & now that you are the MEMORY of a “flash in the pan” -you have CHOSEN to use destiny to justify your being a statistic because you have been outsmarted & manipulated into that position by yourself or others I am not ceratin.
What foreign woman of means will ever be interested in you is beyond me -she should have her head examined with that mess you call your life- All we hear is the same sob story ANJU was my Past - Dimple is the mother of my children Tina was my girlfriend- Since you rely on Love because you are a passionate man if there ever was a foreigner in your life that loved you & had her means why did you pass up the opportunity to be happy???The ultimate coup -marryng a foreign woman of means- I am ceratin she would not have cut you off from yourfamily & grandchild - Now whatis this rubbish about your grandson becoming great on the screen??Not likely- Your food is beinglaced thatis common knowledge &that your wife has used a woman to bewitch you at the time of marriage called Khan is also common knowledge together they planned to ensnare you at the cost of your career- This is a well known fact out here &the woman brags of it allthe time - yourwife nevermakes a move without her & thatis why you cannot re-marry & are petrified of her when she is a slut!!
Get real get a life & Career or go into a corner & die as she wishes you.What revival of yourcareer? Drink & be merry you senile old man as your wife says!!

Dear rajesh Khanna,
I have to agree with all the contributors-get rid of that dowdy ethnic look -white kurta & white kurta &get some cool one breated suits & shave that God forsaken beard-.You used to be sooo elegant now you area gypsy memorial festival-hardly cinematic -hardly the superstaryou once were.
Well you have been given sound advice here lots- a testament to the factthat persond do care to tell you howw to improve nomatter how difficult -
You have said I am too old do you expect me to change now?? yes we do you should always be changing- pastfive years youarein a bigrut- Seemed in 200 thatyou were going to pull out but then somethinghappened to pull you back- bad advice- always- listen pls-
get a shave a t least-if not the divorce -youdon’t have the guts to do that- &take yourplace as rightful king in Bollywood -justa two bit role with tits & ass Zeenat Aman - but are you serious just because you are going to have her you are also looking like a clown & hwre is your wife on that your daughter?? Well good luck-Change Rajesh Khanna -go forward orlet your karma elapse-Take the foreign idea it is wellresearched no doubt & Be FLEXIBLE God damn it you are sooo rigid like some spinster ina village in the mountain-
Happy New year & all the best
Vikram
Dear Shri Khanna,
I have been a fan of yours for a long time.I wish the bestin 2006. I hope you somhoe amke an affiliation with the foreigmn element as they are more advanced in their ideas than us-if a movie has been proposed or a movie script pls consider this-No foreignerwould investeven time inyou unless they wanted great success for you from which they would get their share
God Bless then-and all the best
Balwinder
rajesh Khanna-
What the devil are you doing with Zeenat Aman n that hysterical picture??
Firstly she is not muchof an actress secondly she has a bad reputation-with all those boyfreinds- she is the Madonna of India - a slut- period.Now she is becoming mature to be conservative?? & you of all the fools are availing of this? A man with your class & charisma- couldn’t you have done a film with one ofthe other heroines like Poonam Dhillon? Why Zeenat? She is a friend of your wife;s hard to believe- why not Hema a film with Hema??? Bad mistake - as for the foreign angle I don’tsee you taking it- you don’thave the drive -you are a has been wannabe again not gonnna go anywhere fast -whatforeignerin their right mind would put up with all this??Pls make up your mind once &for all.
Happy New year
Ram
dear friends -
whats the point in getting into mr Khanna’s personal life?
the issue that matters is that if he works with powerful, author backed scripts with good directors like fgv,bhansali,yash etc and good co stars , he will stand a chance of making it again like Amit has.
Infact it will be great for indian movie going public if there is a strongcounterpoint to Amit in senior roles in the next few yrs …
Greetings ,Namaste Shri Khanna,
I hope you read some of the aforementioned comments -butI am doubtful.Sorry but I too think you should divorce- I mean you are just on paper- & your wife is entertainingherselfelsewhere- &you have an OPEN marriage?? then you claim to be consevative- Clear that up pls.Your children aregrown now - theycan’t be eexpecting yourmonies & you are living with someone in New Delhi -so marry her-
No phirangi woman with money will marry unless you were born n DIwali _or you know hoe toreally love-
Then only can I see a turn n your sitiuation- if not you willbe stuck saying it s destiny-\Dimple used you badly- what woman is itthat didn’t use you marry that one if possible. Nothing extraordinary about Dimple she is uneducated & your children are grow -whydo they prey on your money - whydo you dream of yourgrandson becoming a Bollywoosd star - there won’t be a Bollywood then.Pls break ties with DImple - thatis the twentieth centuries big dia=sasters she with a lover cuckolding you &you witha nother or sickthat is the rumour -your prostate cancer-Marry the foreign lady if she will have you I doubt it _ you are lucky -but you throuw thatluck awayWhat praveen says wil never happen -so some of who areolder know the underbelly of the problem- Khanna dosen’t listen to simple great sense like thatyou have given him- he has had offers inthe past five years -that would blow your brain- out - but DImple held him back hence the private interventions
GE GE??
Happy New Year
MR.Sahota
Just heard that Mrs.Dimple Khanna is considering quitting acting.Congatulations on your daughters’s award for interior design.
What a strange manner to prove she matttered & take down your career.Now I hope we see a happy end whatever that might be- I hope you have successs in films and in your private life.But I have no idea what thatis going to take reading allthis.But people do care about you thatis for sure-You will do what is right I am sure and I hope we have the happy end to the storyreconciliation- film success whatecerI wish you all the best-yourfans are as passionate as you apparently.
Sat Siri Akal
Kabir Singh
Just as the aforementioned persons mentioned - your wife has ears in her ass- as she annonces that she WILL her royal highness star in a movie with you- what leave you and Zeenat together to get her claws into you - Yes all is DIMPLE the beginning &the end - tell her to get you a god damn e–mail address if she cares so much - It only took her thirty three years TO MAKE UP HER MIND - Now the face off comes not a movie with Amit or something else - two has been return wanna be agains-
I wish you the best
Krishna-NO ONE SHOULD TAKE THESE TWO SERIOUSLY
It suits DImple she is an opportunist - she will do it-finally make afim with Rajesh Khanna Khanna he is weak- forget suggestions forget it all - just watch and laugh these two are the two of clubs from the playing deck-hilarity at its peak DIMPLE MAKES MOVIE WITH RAJESH- She will be back at Aashirwaad soon mark my words
I have to agree with the last posted comment.
Times are changing faster than ever.
Screen magic is a different thing today than
thirty years ago.But the Khannas are back.Good
entertainment for us all.I don’t really think
people care about their movie because they have
given these in depths interviews
about their private lives in the public domain.
The new century has brought many surprises that
aren’t happy.Let us hope that this will be a
happy change of pace somehow.

Mrs.Simeon
I think it is great that Dimple and Rajesh have patched up and are making a movie .Good for them.I hope to see reconciled in real life too!!It is their destiny .It is their fate.
Wish they had done it earlier.
Good luck
B
I am very happy to know of the pairing of Rajesh Khanna and his wife Dimple.Beyond being what seems like good people they are capable artists.All the luck for them
Gopi
dear friends
once again, lets not go into his personal life/issues..
if there is some way we can get this msg across to him and good directors like rgv and yash , then maybe we can expect some good news…
still hoping for a rajesh-amit starrer!!
Dear Pravin ,firstly,
You should have been a traffic conductor with a whistle & all. People have a right to express their opinion just as you do -but listen up big man Call -this telephone number 26463646 Mumbai & if outside India the codes & ask where is Khanna-SAAB!!!!-you want to speak with him come on now he is reasonable & you are not highly theoretical do it he will listen come on- That is his office number - ask to speak to him-usually Ganji answers the telephone in Mumbai- if he is in Delhi ask for the number there Then present your ideas to him saying there is a raging page on the internet about this-Say YOU want him with Amit & the reasons why-
-See the brushing off dear friend that you will get like ther there is no tomorrow-the runaround eventually. Anyway understanding zilch about physiology you have to know that Amit won’t be on the screen in the foresebale future.Not after that kind of operation & I do not feel that he would just then act with Rajesh Khanna.go to google diverticulitis & God knows what else pls!!
As for the persons making remarks that include Khanna’s private life- they are justified because when you become a public figure you ask for that investment from those persons - as if you aren’t being personal- I ask oh mr reasonable for you to call & tell him yourself- he isn’t going to listen to you here on the net
I want to see him in a particular film of a film version - why should I make arbitrary my opinions to all others- Call dear friend & find out what the others are talking about 26463646
Have your wits about you & good luck But do it & post what happened- I would love to hear what the Khanna said-anyway this is a once in lifetime opportunity don’t miss out-but let us know
Pratheep
dear sir
as i said i have no interest in his personal issues- but that is speaking for myself.I take your point about his being a public figure.
If what you say is true about their behavior on phones, then it will be best if some well wisher of his from his circle who is reading this passes on this info to him..maybe his kids , if they are web savvy as im sure they must be.
i am sorry about amit’s health and hope he acts again soon..incl a film with RK and Yash..now that will be something for our generation and all generations- dont u agree?
dear sir,
What is my name? Don’t I have a name to be addressed by?What you didn’t call? Why he has been nice to me and there is no predicting his behaviour.But if you were serious you would have called- his children do NOT ADVISE HIM on these matters.He has taught them at least not to live his life for him which is what you want to do through the net-that he considers gossip.The great thing about Khanna saab is that he admires people with the forthrightness to do such a thing as telephone.He won’t chew you out-he is a gentleman-if you conduct yourself properly and you have nothing to lose.
Obviously you aren’t serious-passing the buck won’t work & your idea is a lost cause so forget it.
I don’t beleive Khanna saab wants to act with Amit and it has no appeal to me to see them together.You can’t mix champagne with Coca Cola can you??
The sorriest thing is that you & your generation understand precious little about a superstar like Rajesh Khanna.Telephone and don’t involve others and intermediaries he will become annoyed.
Too bad you don’t have the valour to do that -just a theory keep it foryourself it isn’t going to happen- unless you call and convince him somehow.
I do not beleive it would be something for your generation if they acted together or mine because Khanna saab is a much greater actor than Amit.If you ever speak to him you will know about whatI am talking about-Case closed you lose-SIR
Hey Hey PJ
Thanks for all the angry and hilarious inputs pal!
Just stay cool PJ, its not such a big deal , kid..
How I want to do things is my business..what i write is my prerogative..I have always been respectful and decent so far.
just buzz off if the only thing you can do is vent your angst here , loser !
Do it with class faggot or we’ll bust your arse..
Anyways, thanks for giving us a huge laugh with your pissed out responses..
last time , i gave you plenty of respect, C-Word , and called you SIR..
Obviously you have never been called SIR and do not know how to respond to anyone who who knows the value of this word”
so, FO …PJ !
Good riddance to baad rubbish…
hi pratheep
i am also a fan - not friend - of RK and have stumbled upon this chat sometime back.
i have followed the views of various readers without commenting so far.
i think a few of the ideas suggested by pravin are good and sensible.BTW ,RK definitely needs to work out.
i think you are spoiling the whole mood with your silly ,ooffensive and personal attack mails.
pl understand , we are only mere fans who use the internet for discussions and idea sharing as a hobby in our free time and hope that some ideas will get passed on to the right people.
we are not like you - selfstyled friend of RK - and judging by your arrogance and boorish and bullyish behavior ( which pravin has given back in a fantastic tit for tat way) - if you are the kind of friend RK has today, no wonder he is where he is ..he does not need enemies when he has friends like you to keep him in this state.
this discussion has been good so far.pl dont provoke more of us to ask you to maintain decency or get out
abhay
Namaste Abhay,
I am a fan like you of Rajesh Khanna and Amit.
What kind of a profane tirade is that against Pratheep who must be senior to all of us?
You are the ones not maintaining the decency because I thought Rajesh Khanna looked like Rajesh Khanna with Zeenat Aman in that original picture we all saw. I had a laugh and said he is ripping up the screen and he does. He has a method to his madness- perhaps you think he is stupid but Pratheep has a point saying that they Amit and Khanna are as different as chalk and cheese. I have enjoyed reading Pratheep’s get up bloody swinging give it back to you guys .
And you swear at him .You want to have it your way or get the elder to the highway- he is maintaining decency - I see here a threat to his person I should start to report you regarding decency pls-GET a GRIP!!Rajesh Khanna is fine today and I hope Amit recovers because that is quite a serious operation he had.But realistically fellas if what you proposed was going to happen it would have-maybe it will. I don’t think you are being fair to our elder statesman swearing and then accusing him of indecency. I have enjoyed his diatribes and I have enjoyed yours - that is what a debating forum is - not a forum for a universal fascist view{one} but many}
Always good to let the other side talk too.Sheesh get a grip fellas.Rajesh Khanna dosen’t work out or wear those sleek Western suits you want that Amit does but he dosen’t have diverticulitis either.He is a champion for Congress I, has recently donated monies somewhere philanthropically, he is like Frank Sinatra in the song “MY Way”
Pravin should maintain decency by not using profanity against our Gandhian thinker Pratheep.
I ask you to leave the forum if you continue to censor ,threaten ,abuse intimidate and use profanity of this sort which is totally unnecessary .A sentence like “He does not need enemies when he has friends like you” is a bit much because there is nothing wrong with Rajesh Khanna. If he reads it what sayest thouthat he comes after you??He will exercize when He wants too I am sure.Give it a rest because the fine lines have been crossed by your side legally speaking .Thanks and take care
Nirmal
hi nirmal
you’ve made some good points.
i am just very uncomfortable at the tone and hectoring that pratheep used right from the beginning in his first posting which completely spoilt the positive mood of this forum,and was in a cheap,bullying and not at all gandhian spirit of generosity and kindness-in fact it was like hitler ver 2006 !
if all of us give and take respect , there is no problem at all..then we can get back to the subj at hand and feel free to post our 2 bit worth of constructive suggestions.
regds and thanks
abhay
Namaste Abhay,
This forum is not about calling someone else Pratheep “Hitler” ver 2006 and the saying He spoilt the MOOD of this forum.
Pratheep is an intellectual of the older generation. Sounds like he has a formidable education too.He never hectored anyone -he never bullied you-he gave to Pravin Rajesh Khanna’s telephone number- honest engine to call what are you talking about???
Pratheep REPROVED a lot he thought in his manner of thinking that he disagreed with.
Albeit with faculties you wish you had although you may have laughed come on I know- I wish I had those faculties .
The forum is still positive-there wasn’t anything cheap in what he wrote or did.
Debating forums are not about moods, vibes and sentiment.They aren’t Days of our Lives
To me now this isn’t about giving and taking respect which Pratheep has given in the manner he knows and Pravin swearing in the manner he knows.This is a vendetta against someone who is more educated than all of us apparently.
What kind of respect is that calling Pratheep Hitler??ver 2006
Pratheep never once called you a name- you are bullying him-pull yourself up by the bootstraps
show some dignity.
What is this? can’t you say - points taken -Pratheep and he will be blown off the field and continue your postings??Or call Rajesh Khanna yourselves what is the big deal - you call someone Hitler on the net but you don’thave the guts & glory to telephone Rajesh Khanna.
I think Pratheep was annoyed because you never suggested anything for Amit >I mean what is that white thing called his beard {his hair is dyed but his beard??}- is that jarring Pooja Bedi commented on it can’t he dye his beard it looks hideous against his hair.
I just hope Amit gets well soon but you never suggested anything for him and Pratheep is Rajesh Khanna’s friend and that set him off.
In my younger days I got to meet Gandhians and they were harsh almost Spartan in manner in trying to make a point.They tried to subjugate us wildly- no they weren’t as soft as toilet paper.{lighten up guys!!}
If I can act as a bridge here I understand you but you had better cease and desist with name calling- mud-slinging etc.That makes you ruin the freedom of the forum.
You want Rajesh Khanna to be more like Amit.
As for Gandhians you have a romanticized view of them- they didn’t free India by being gentle.
Respect to you is agreeing - why don’t you forget about who agrees and who dosen’t along with Pravin and post whenever you feel like it??
You have given too much energy to Pratheep and if he is Hitler ver 2006 what have you got to worry about you aren’t a Jew and India wasn’t in that conflict-
Come on guys- our pallus are almost showing-Pratheep this Pratheep that and he is as important and destructive as Hitler???
Get a grip!!!!
Thanks Abhay you are a sport

Hello ,
I have the greatest respect for Zeenat Aman.She is a professional of calibre as well as a great beauty.She has been a Dev Anand heroine as well as a Raj Kapoor heroine.
Her pairing with Rajesh Khanna is something I look forward to seeing.She is an underrated actress because she is so beautiful.Zeenat and Mr.Khanna have a chemistry on screen.Zeenat was always ahead of her time with progressive and cosmopolitan ideas.
How can such a modern lady be paired with what i have read previously a {you make Rajesh Khanna sound rustic}rustic actor.Obviously someone has missed some kind of point here.
If Rajesh Khanna was that rustic Zeenat wouldn’t act with him because she is better than most of the modern actresses and the Sophia Loren of India- where is the missing link in the puzzle?
Wearing the joker outfit MR.Pravin Sir ,
Zeenat accepted to act with Rajesh Khanna and not with Amit.The most modern actress with the peasant Khanna??
Have you got your parties mixed up,because there must be an element with all due respect that you are missing in Khanna- why else would the most beautiful ,progressive modern actress goddess act with him??
Good luck to them both
P
for peace
Stella
Gretings forum members,
I find nothing wrong with Rajesh Khanna and I have to agree that he dosen’t want to act with Amit .
They are now so different I am not sure that difference could be bridged.
Rajesh Khanna has a mind of his own and he isn’t vainglorious as the more modern actors are.here is more to life than films as he and his lovely wife have said. sSo they do other things - they are allrounders.They both have highly integrated personalities because they have raised good daughters and are good citizens. But for Amit ,it is only cellulloid that is a fixation. Maybe that is why he is more successful seemingly.Hardly a year after
Parveen’s death he went to death’s door and returned.I hope to God she was ill and that there wasn’t an iota of truth in what she said because the karma would have boomeranged now.
I find that sleek sophisticated thing Amit does sometimes one-dimensional because he dosen’t play diverse roles.
Don’t get me wrong - he is the tops and the Tower of Pizza ,but Khanna he is the Mona Lisa because you neverknow what to expect.
Good that he and Zeenat {she is beautiful and super talented } give it all are acting together.
You may wish you had Amit’s money but Khanna’s fun{joy rides on a tidal wave sounds like} that is something Amit will never have.
God Bless Amit to get well soon come on full recovery and yes DYE that beard to your haircolour when you are better.WE love you all
Keep well forum members I am a holocaust survivor-
Throw the word Hitler around one more time and I will call in the Jewish Congress pls!!
Keep well everyone
P
Peace for all
Eva
Excellent point made earlier - why would Zeenat Aman world’s most beautiful progressive modern thinking woman act with what Pravin has described as non exercizing rustic unsophisticated Rajesh Khanna??
Someone finally hit a home run with that argument alone.
Vijay
Peace to all
Get on a grip on the Hitler comparisons profanity and other tactics to take the man who gave you Rajesh Khanna’s telephone number down
Shailendra
Forums members,
Firstly, I would like to state that I have found that Pravin’s ideas about the Khanna Amit movie ,glorious.
The are succinctly put ,incisive and would work if those two stars were up to it.
Pravin, felicitations on such beautifully well thought out suggestions.True when people rain on your parade it is tough but I loved your ideas-until the reality squad entered.
You can always write to Amit or Khanna and I wish you all the best.
You should be in Bollywood.I think they would appreciate your suggestions and not be put off.
You always have the telephone -
Best of Luck Cecil B. De Mille!!
Pramod
Dear Pramod
You have echoed my thoughts . Pravin’s ideas are well thought out and seem to be the intelligent suggestions from a real fan.
I am just a normal guy and i also got irritated at the unnecessary and uncalled for comments on Pravin when all he did was to give Pratheep respect and call him Sir. anyone who reads his comments upto that point can see how dignified he has been.Just see his message no.22 to see what i mean..
Well , its sad and i sincerely hope mr pravin continues to contribute.
Agree or disagree with his ideas , but he certainly has given food for thought to fans like us
Good luck and best wishes to all
abhay
I agree with Promodji and Abhayji that the comments and suggestions posted by pravin are very useful and worth thinking about.
bye
Dear Abhay,
Yes I agree in a certain manner with giving food for thought on a great idea and done brilliantly.
But reality is a whole different ballgame.
I do not find anything of offense in Pratheep’s comments.
I am not going to give them that much importance and I see he has stopped contributing.Things that are worth thinking about also should be translated into reality.
Bollywood is an unusual place and I think you are taking things too personally.You keep harping on this man Pratheep and to be honest I hardly was affected by what he wrote.He has made the old timer’s point of how do get this to become reality?
So what?
Good idea on a theoretical plane.His comments irritated you- I am not irritated - you say also- I don’t care frankly,forget it.
Let’s think now about the useful ideas.Off in left field with this respect issue etc. Pratheep is not contributing either.
Pravin’s comments are brilliant and there were a couple of prompters here and there.Stop giving it that much importance
Applause.
Pramod
hi pramod
i agree with you..let the debate be revived on the true issue that has brought us all together

Some people are still waving at the parade when it has passed and they do not want to catch up no matter what and even if they could they would miss it on purpose it would appear.
you do not stir somnabulists-Amit should look after his health & bow out like Cary Grant with class & dignity.
one more time of “I was in Bobby and I am sooo beautiful” and I will be be nauseous-alright already-Mr.De Mille dimple is ready for her closeup.She proved that she mattered to herself and now she is back to looking after her grandkids.the stars of thirty five years ago rattling on about their greatness make me think of Norma Desmond.
i find dimple rather common looking with no figure{body} to speak of -just my opinion but her histrionic abilities are just above average.
Khanna is of course our comparable silent film star-{Valentino} he has that grandeur about him- but something always dosen’t click for him.Maybe he is a glutton for punishment or he pre-disposes himself to fail I have no idea-
Amit has had his innings -he is a titan -but enough.
the universe is telling him what is what and I wish him and the others well.
thanks for the memories.
Mrs Shastri
I have to agree with some of the previous comments.
Add to the list Kabir Bedi who has a reputation of everyone he has slept with passing away{Persis,Parveen Protima,etc.} and you have quite a few characters out there in Bollywood.
Dimple ,Rajesh,Amit,are part of the Bollywood mythology- but yes I agree something goes bump in the night when you go there with some of these actors.
Perhaps Amit should think about bowing out.He has made his mark.Khanna will not listen from what I discern and I am not certain where that discrepancy comes from.too bad however because there are some decent suggestions to him.
I would have loved to see Amit with Rekha one last time on the screen.
Khanna if you are reading this please go over some of Pravin’s suggestions.They are fabulous!

I heard about kakaji’s affair a while back with some foreign lady of means and education.
i also heard of dimple’s rude intrusion regarding family etc..the ethical guilt trip
i wonder how much is true or not because I think that would have affected his career.
Can someone clarify if they know.He was going to act in a movie she had planned a love story….anyone know??Also he turned down a retrospective of Costa Gavras yet he is all over accepting these lifetime achievement awards I cannot understand that .Why not go to France ,it means you are doubly appreciated.Does anyone know what happened??

I thought Rajesh Khanna still loved Dimple although in 2003 an article appeared in Cineblitz that said a lady M and he were in love and that she fed him on the sets just as she fed him at the Betwaara inaugural.
Whether that is Maureen or Gurleen or whoever I am confounded by whatever woman of means in the Western world would get involved there.
I have heard inklings of a woman of means yes that was also beautiful and kind.The heresay states that she had some connections.
I am inclining to believe that it is truth and that khanna ruined the opportunity like he always does everything.
It would have affected his career because he is myopic that way.The lady was descended from royalty in one version.You can take the kaka out of India but you can’t take India out of the kaka.
Then his daughter Twinkle married and he pulled away from said lady as Dimple said no because she was foreign.I don’t think you can lead Khanna by the nose .Perhaps they are still friends who knows.If anyone does please tell.
Vikram
Well here goes,this is what I know.
Rajesh Khanna was apparently having feelings for this lady who was foreign {non-Indian}.He invited her to India to share his bed but that got to Dimple who then told him no one sets foot in Ashirwaad {the sanctity of his bricks and house}and he said alright come but you aren’t going to set foot in my house.Said lady a millionairess,beautiful and kind wasn’t going to his house anyway but the statement was so crass along with a few other things Khanna did that she was very put off and did not go at all.
As a woman of means she wasn’t after his home and dosen’t need his money but the presupposition that she was another goldigger was too much.I know of a movie project that would have been a runaway hit that the lady proposed to Khanna but Dimple once more.
My facts are vague and not as concise as I would like- I woill clarify if I can contact said lady.Hope that helps
Laetitia
dear friends,
I think someone put out a rumour about this foreign woman of means who could have restored khanna’s career.
if it was true in one iota and he blew it,then there is not much more to say.
yes i too think maybe Amit should bow out gracefully and yes I get that eerie feeling about K.B. and his ex- girlfriends and wives.
Dimple was going to act in Anna Karenina and I can’t think of anyone who is so unaristocratic to portray the Russian aristocracy-she is clueless about how they even comported themselves;about their manners and etiquette.That would have been incongruous.Also Dimple’s level of education is quite low although she is successful.
Pravin has the greatest ideas.At least one genius posted their ideas.
Pooja
Dimple is ultra modern.
it will be interesting if some of our forum readers can come up with more suitable roles for RK at this stage of his life..
i personally feel that unlike in their youth when amit was for action and kaka for romance, now in their old age they are actually both vieing for the same kind of roles…
personally i agree that kaka can bring lot of class, dignity and charisma to KBC ..like amitabh did.
Dear Sarika
The role Mr.Khanna was to have played was in a beautiful love story that suited him.This was when he was offered it a couple of years back.The story was given to experts before proposed and then like pravin says he got involved in Betwaara and stuff like Jaana today so the man won’t be told I guess.
If you come up with a suitable role he dosen’t listen easily so what is the point?
The question should be how do you get him to listen and be more open to concepts and suggestions that would do him good.
A man with dignity class and charisma will think twice before he easily turns down a Costa Gavras international Parisian based film retrospective if that is true.
Amit wouldn’t have turned it down…
I can come up with many suitable roles for Kakaji but he has difficulty listening even if these are proposed-How do you get him to listen Sarika?
Laetitia
yes Laetitia…thats sad.
But still , it will be interesting to see how people visualise him today..
btw, does anyone have more details on the costagavras project that he turned down?
i wish Yash chopra,Ramgopalverma,Subash ghai,Raykesh mehra and Bhansali were reading this forum….
SR
also i wld like him to hire a good PR guy so thst he is more often seen in press esp now that he has some movies coming out..
btw, has he signed a pakistani film?
dear Sarika,
he turned down an international film retrospective of his films{A gala} by Costa Gavras who did the tribute to Smita Patil.{this was being bantered about a couple of years ago}
it would have been in Paris- I heard he said that he didn’t want to visit the past{that it pained Him? what about us???} and proceeded to accept several Lifetime Achievement awards from Indians-that was visiting the past.
Imagine Paris illumined and waiting and Khanna says no and what is more his wife turned down speaking to the producer after asking another intermediary to intevene for her.She flat out refused to speak on a threeway call which to me is sheer stupidity because she could have lent her face to Chanel or something else French where they want a mature and modern face.The renumeration would have been astronomical considering Nicole got 12 million for Chanel,Dimple got her foot in the door and slammed it shut on herself.Never mind the acclaim where she would have been well appreciated and treated like queen.
you know I am beginning to think these two are their own worst enemies.Gavras has the in on Hollywood{he has Oscars} and I am certain khanna would have got something in one of his films subsequently but was he listening -no If Dimple and he weren’t interested why not suggest Akshay Kumar and be gracious to speak and interact.
does he ever listen ?
NO
What PR are you talking about,that is a fabulous idea so naturally he will destroy the idea and Dimple will agree.
you ask if he has signed a Pakistani film,I say might as well sign a film about the Antarctic
Dimple is SOOOO CUUUTE in Pyar Mein Twist yet she can’t put her face on Dior or Chanel???
and khanna he can sign Paki films till the cows come home how many times does a Costa Gavras come knocking???
sarika he dosen’t want a PR guy because that is the correct way to do it.there is something very askew with these two sorry but that is that.And yes Khanna should exercize,clean up his vocabulary stop listening to Dimple,stop being chauvinistic about being Indian.Pravin is rightand I am going to add get with it or get out.
And to Dimple stay with the candles and the environmnetal whacko animal rights junk ofthe idilatrous rich.what poverty dosen’t move you ambulances in animals do with Maneka Gandhi
unnatural
Pr ?you will never live to see that.
Laetitia
hi sarika,
rajesh Khanna signed a pakistani film with with a pakistani stand up comedian called synonmously Omar Sharif,.
It will be shot in Hyderabad and America.
try google pressing news.
it is difficult to say how people visualize him today.i think theyare confused and he has to clarify that
Sunmi
thanks sunmi
i agree ..thats why i think pravin is right when he says he must go for tight ly scripted urban roles…maybe crime stories and not love stories..afterall, what can he do in a love story except play some ones pop?
sarika
no reply sarika
so this forum seems to be more dedicated to pravin’s being right more than anything else.
when someone dared to disagree with him he sulked swore insolently and went into a corner and unless you are busy you are doing the same.
beg to disagree but you guys aren’t even of khanna’s timeless generation so you wouldn’t understand diddly squat about anything.
as for you defending your pravin and his laughing HYENAS who got so much of a charge out of someone’s posting enough and enough of the insults to khanna saying he can play someone’s pop solely in luv stories.
you have yet to understand the essence of the man.Rajesh Khanna is who he is he isn’t going to imitate Pacino or anyone else,he dosen’t have to.
Today people not hyenas visualize him as they want to game over how do visualize STreisand??
you know you are incoherent.{laugh hyena}
Sunmi
great going
thanks venkat you are a sport
this is what I think.
I happen to like Rajesh Khanna,Amit Kabir,Rekha,
and modern Dimple and I think they should play in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
They owe us their performance and not much else.
when they blab about personal stuff it gets heavy.
Let us see them all in a movie soon.
good night and good luck
Meera
good idea!!
good idea!!
Rajesh Khanna is a lost cause so give it up.
Shri J
You know they make me sick.
Stick with Amit, Zeenat anyone else pls.
No way for a Khanna comeback.
Khanna’s servants slammed the telephone down in my ear.At first they were to relay a message.
Then they just picked up and slammed down.Again and again.
Have no idea and could care less.Same is true of a couple of other Bollywood stars,except Shammi Kapoor.
But then he is a Kapoor.
The Gandhis govern but the Kapoors reign.
Nalini
so it looks like we can discuss as much as we want but there is no way to get the message across..at least u tried,nalini !
It is called “crapping your karma”.
did you hear Sonu Walia last of Kabir Bedi’s ex- girlfriends is having thyroid surgery at her age in the Punjab before turning producer.
managed to marry Pratap Singh.
that is the precursor to something bigger if the pattern on his gals falls into place.{Protima,Persis,Parveen and his son dead,he and his daughter divorced}}plus that Ixchel Susan{another ex-wife} looks like an old lady for a once stunning model.
Sonu was a pretty good actress too!
I hope she gets well as soon as possible and shakes this off.
GET WELL SONU WALIA!!!!
nalini
saw nana ptekars taxi 9211 ..he is fantastic..
wonder how kaka wld hv done that role…with a director who told him to forget his mannerisms and become an embittered man like nana
sarika,
is this some kind of game for you?
Saw Ben Hur,wonder how KAKAJI,{that is how you address the man} you are possessed by would have done??
i too wonder how he would be in love stories{written for him} which to me is the most brilliant idea posted on this website.
khanna is a great thespian only he should turn his hearing aid up and take and make his telephone calls!TEMPUS FUGIT!
B.Khan
For Mrs Dimple Kapadia Khanna,

hi friends
i have been watching a few robert de niro movies recently- particularly the new ones like analyse this and analyse that ( which is specially hilarious) and i wld like to add to pravins suggestions saying that maybe kaka shd do movies like this..it was not at all difficult imagining kaka in de niros place….also some of ben kingsleys new roles like house of sand and fog are GRRREat! also , it looks like rgvs sholay is a dead project as no news about it…lets get this forum going again friends with some great new ideas….a combo story of kabhie kabhie and trishul starring THE TWO will also be great..
is some one editing this forum as the number of responses keep changing?
looks like it sarika-editing
Jaana will be released in October now since Zeenat and Rajesh will be honoured at Port of Spain/Trinidad for Outstanding Achievement in films June 10.hope they marry as well.
hope this isn’t edited.
rose
ha ha …nahin yaar…
but definitely some postings are missing..
yes i have noticed that as well
very happy for both Zeenat Aman and Rajesh Khanna receiving awards as far as Port Of Spain Trinidad.they have given a lot.
as for editing ,no comment.
carnaticat
another less seen but good kaka movie is shatru made by praomod chakraborty in the 80s
Both Rajesh Khanna and Zeenat Aman are legends in their own right…they appeal to different people for different reasons and have made enourmous contributions to Hindi cinema in their own way.
Some of the comments made are frankly vicious and shameful (cant believe some sicko decides he or she is qualified to call Zeenat a slut…you are mixing the image with a person you dont even know).You dont like her, no problems, but dont indulge in character assasination because you can be anonymous in a blog.
Thankfully, there are many sane voices…and healthy views/opinions shared too!
babul i saw shatru as a college goer in bandra in the 80s…if i remember it has a nice song- suraj chanda etc etc….

BEST OF LUCK FOR UR NEW INNINGS IN BOLLYWOOD.
PLZ CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME RAJESH KHANNA’S EMAIL ID
i am delighted to see such an animated and intelligent discussion devoted to mr rajesh khanna.
i wld like to add a few words about one of his most artistic but least known movies-NAUKRI.in 1978 or so hrishikesh mukherji filmed a script by salil chowdury stg kaka and raj kapur- no less.
this movie was in every way the exact 180 degree opposite of anand.if anand was about positivism and the power of living life to the fullest, in Naukri kakas character is one of the most defeatist,suicidal and loser type ever portrayed on indian film.
heis a one legged soldier who has only disaster all around him …in short a complete anti thesis of anand..it is a very depressing film- deliberately so - i think hrishi da was pushing kaka to do a role that was the complete opposite of anand,bawarchi etc..and to top it all raj ji - who was the original choice for anand- plays the positive spirit that teaches rajesh hope after he commits suicide–it is one of the most philosophical,thoughtful and yet unrelentingly depressing art house film that came and went without any ripples during the height of the angry young man era.i saw a vcd of this movie recently at rythm house in bby and grabbed it …then i was mesmerised by the guts these guys had to make such a totally non commercial film which frankly had zero hope of making any money.
i feel it is one of rajesh’s greatest roles- and rajs last great swansong and a movie that deserves to be seen more- atleast by lovers of art cinema/good cinema.nadira and asrani also starred in this film.zaheera was kakas love interest.just shows how much kaka was willing to experiment even when he was a mainstream matinee idol.
i also saw this picture naukri in calcutta in the late 70s and was struck by the total difference between this film and every other movie of the time.it was definitely the riskiest film made by hrishida,rajesh khanna and raj kapur …you are right , they took every theme of anand and turnrd it inside out..if anand was about hope, this was about desperation…even though , if i remember right , there is an attempt to tie thikns up at the very end of the movie…..it showed real guts from kaka - and his total trust and respect for hrishida- when he was down in the market to do this film
naukri was a weird and depressing but yes, totally different movie starring mainstream stars ….yes it was a daring experiment by a rich producer…maybe the crew worked for free..as the movie seems to have taken its own sweet time to get completed and released…i saw it on doordarshan many many yrs ago..it must rank as one of the artiest movies ever made in india –very deep…anyway its interesting to see so many reviews of naukri after 25 yrs
if im not wrong the producers of namak haraam and salil chowdary produced it
the english film SEVEN with morgan freeman and Brad Pitt is ideal for Rajesh khanna and Shahrukh….any comments?
Considering all the hoo ha about how “odd” Rajesh Khanna looked in that promotional picture of the film ” Jaana Let’s Fall in Love” with Zeenat Aman, I thought fans might like to viit the website http://www.ibnlive.com and click on “news”..then select “video” downloads to look at a clip of the actual song from the movie…shows the magical old Rajesh Khanna (in Kati Patang) and then singing the same song with Zeenat in Jaana….whilst Zeenie Baby still looks gorgeous, I have to agree that Rajesh Khanna’s clothes are really weird and the pants are very Dev-Ananad…they end 6 inches above his ankles !! What’s going on kaka-ji …?
Still…always fun to see a video clip than read a boring article,have fun everybody…
Sorry guys….the correct way to see the Rajesh-Zeenat video is to go to http://www.ibnlive.com and then click on SHOWBIZ in the top right hand corner..then, choose the article with “Rajesh-Zeenat recreate magic”…then click on the video option..apologies!

Veteran film-maker Hrishikesh Mukherjee was admitted at Leelavati Hospital in Mumbai today. He had been in poor health for quite a while now and has reportedly become critical. He has been put on ventilator and is under observation. Last week, rediff spoke to his daughter Neelu who said that his health was bad since long and that he was on dialysis, four times a week.
Hrishikesh Mukherjee, the legend of the Indian cinema, began his career as an editor and assistant director to Bimal Roy way back in 1951. His first directorial venture was Musafir in 1957. In 1959, Raj Kapoor recommended Mukherjee to be the director of Anari which starred Raj himself and Nutan. The movie turned out to be very successful, both critically and commercially. He then went on to make many classics like Anand (1970), a complex emotional story of a terminally ill man, starring Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan. He had a series of hits with Amitabh Bachchan which included movies like Abhimaan and Namak Haram. Jaya Bachchan’s biggest hits like Guddi and Mili were also with Hrishida. Besides, these intense films, he made comedies which include the classic Chupke Chupke (1975) starring Dharmendra, Om Prakash and Amitabh Bachchan. His favourite hero was Amol Palekar with whom he made a series of comedy films which includes the famous Golmaal.
All our prayers are with Shri Mukherjee for
either a painless end, or a speedy recovery.May God Bless him, a good and Gandhian man who is a true inspiration.Our thoughts are with him and with his family…

i am a model want work in sholay
What do you people think of SIMPLE KAPADIA? Is she really a class above Dimple? Is she married?
wasnt it wierd that she acted as ra
jesh ka lover in anurodh?
Kaka’s on the Rampage
Put thatin Google and an article will come up about the Khanna about how he sank to his lowest whilst at a function in a five star hotel
on the outskirts of Mumbai.
He screamed profanities and at the mention of a question for Simple ailing he swept all the microphones of the table.The article says that Khanna made a mockery of himself and is at his lowest.
Simple is married with a son I believe.Dimple’s other sister Reem died a number of years ago.Whatever Khanna is today and his plight is due to bad choices and delusions of yesterday’s grandeur.Peace and love everybody.
recent article says kaka still hates bachhan…
i really feel soorrryy for kakaji.a cheerful life made in2 a mockery.y does he hate bachhan still yaar.i love bth amit and kaka.so y the stuff yaarrr.
y is this simple given such importacne guys.she isnt worth mentionin.i can understand dimple but simple .it is sthin worth mentionin which is really foolish.speak abt kaka dimple fine .wos this dimple.1 film wonder.no use man
plz dimple stp ur craps
Why isn’t Simple Kapadia not worth mentioning? Its Rajesh Khanna who destroyed her career???
Someone in this blog has said that he does not see anything in her…Truth is She’s always been the victim of a very unjust campaign by the press. People even said that she was as ugly as Dimple was beautiful…Was she worth that public flogging?And why has she always been second best to everyone? Dimple, Twinkle, Rinke, Tabu, Amrita Singh, etc…She’s always at bollywood parties and never a picture or a good word about her????Why???What does she lack compared to those actresses I mentioned above? Can anyone please tell me???
Ian,
Why do you keep asking what she lacks when you & I know that she was more beautiful than the best by your posting of her pictures at topix. net? I failed to enter that forum because when someone criticised Dimple these lowlifes would come out of the ground.Thatis your explanation right there.
Howeveryou cannot hide truth from discerning minds and there were some on that forumthat were fiesty about Simple and analysis was brilliant But when I read Dimple is as fair as a Greek I want to be sick because my neighbours are Greek and the grandmother is as white as snow.However I took over a picture of Dimple and Simple since the y love cinema and theater and are always interested and the YIA YIA said Simple was far more beautiful.So I think we have a consencus. The who done it Ian you know…………Dimple & possibly with the assistance of Rajesh Khanna.Sorry Dimple has to rule the roost.Simple is very beautiful and she has great presence and the camera seems to love her.I woke up aftertopix.net.Yes Dimple has that tortured look and a lady there posted that Simple LOOKED LIKE A BITCH remember?Raj Kapoor must have been very drunk when he picked her.
Simple rocks Ian &thanks fortheoics. Stop asking why paaleessse….pls.She does not lack any attribute as such she has many more but she has Dimple and that is to her detriment. Dimple ruled the game and the deal was to keep Simple as her slave or hostage. So what she lacked was supportive sister.Simple is as beautiful as some of the great Hollywood screen divas.Her face is utterly symmetrical and she has a pretty good figure compared to Dimple.What a radiant smile.What chiselled characteristics on her face. Even at Rishi Kapoor’s daughter’s wedding she is at extreme very extreme right in the picture.Why so as not to get in Miss Fantastic’s way.Dimple has bleached her face come on.Simple deserved better but she should have spilt Dimple and started to own her identity which was by then enmeshed in Dimple’s.
Answer: Ian once and for all.
Dimple.{with the possible assistance of Rajesh Khanna}
Durga
I’ve been reading all the responses on here and it now turns out to be about Simple Kapadia. What the hell!!!Simple & Dimple, its like the story of Cinderella- This time however, its the ugly sister (Simple)who plays Cinderella,the servant of the gorgeous half sister (dimple).However, for Simple, there is no prince coming to save her as who would save an ugly thing as her????LOL
p.s I saw the pics posted on Topix- she’s really ugly!!!
Simple is not UGLY.The Kapadias have a great gene pool.What the hell with you Vikshaye?Neither of the Kapadia sisters and Reem too was UGLY . They have a very beautiful mother.Read aloud what you are saying “the servant sister” of Dimple.Simple is beautiful in her own way. No accounting for tastes. But you do not have the right to call her ugly when she is far from it.
I can think of a couple of Bollywood actresses she sould have given a run for their money.
Why does she need to be “SAVED” that would prove her ugliness and plight right there.A lot of good the saving did Dimple according to her.She returned to the Kapadia household and made her sister what? a servant?Dimple wouldn’t do that she is too lovely a person.You are putting both the Kapadia sisters down.
p.s. I haveread your posting here and on topix and I think you are silly.
DIMPLE IS REALLY APIECE OF CRAPO
can any1 gve me kakajis office address in bandra.i really wanna mit him plz assist
all kakaji fans plz
DIMPLE LEAVE KAKAS LIFE U HACV MADE HIS LIFE REALLY A SHIT
I am one of the biggest of superstar Rajesh Khanna. He is always great and superb. No actor can be compared till now.
I am greatest fan of Rajesh Khanna the superstar since 1969 till today. I have seen all the movies more than 100 times each movie. I have made a great record that no fans has done so far. I wish your film Jaana will make a record and awake everybody lights of Rajesh Khanna shinning like star.
hi everybody pliz dont go into his personal life.iknow its a mess but we love kakaji with all his problems.pliz i beg you you gugs dont say bad staff about the mother of his children.Im not a fan of dimple though.so who is this woman in delhi,does he has a son with her, please some one email me and let me know rhea_kumar29@yahoo.com .i think only way khanna can be helped if some of you guys mail top directors ti sign him im sure he wont say no to people like yash ji.just deal with him directly not with his chamcas or family members.i think hes a resonable person and very down to earth just give him a chance.i really hope he has a son someone who can carry khanna name,who has rajesh khannas charsmatic qualities. plaese give name of his delhi woman. cant twinkle and rinkie reconcile their parents like karisma kapoor or they dont care. is it not true tina munim breakup with khanna for money, she wanted to marry a very rich man hence ambani,if not does she still have feelings for khanna. from their breakup khanna never mention her in public i think he loved her too much he sarificed his happiness for her well being,amar prem.kuch na khae kar bhaut kuch khae gaye.as for amit tell him to act with 2nd grade directors writers and give superhit movies .in the making of movies its every bodys contribution,i bet my life give rajesh khanna top movies noboby can do emotional roles like kakaji woh sab ki chuti kar dega.becos he can make you cry ,laugh with his performance thats way enough hes not so famous know we talk about him with such great interest.dont kick a man when hes down i beg you guys help him,ialways pray for,thats what i can do what about you guys,kuch nahi to duwa hi kar li jiye.as for him looking like a jocker in jaana its the dress desginers fault,he just didnt complain if you dont want him to work in third grade movies find him suitable movies.never compare kakaji with amit he is too great to be evencomared.If khanna had a son may his son will act in movies with like other star sons,rinkie is more close to papa so she should help him out encourage him,open his email address,kakaji and sharimla tagore and saif should act in a movie together what do you think.who takes care of rajesh khanna when hes sick or something in his home,does dimple or some other woman who ever she is he should marry her or be with her because she deserves to be recognised,what will happen if any thing should happen to kakaji .and the world will never know ,i really hope kakaji will do the right thing and tell the world about his son because way back there was a rumoar,he and his son both deserve better may than his luck might change,his son could be his lucky charm.all the best to rajesh khanna and those whose dear to him and if kakaji you are by chance reading this dont take any harsh comments to heart it because they care so much they feel frastrauted .we all love you and hope you can differniate friend from foe you know best ,good luck .peace be with you all.
