Rajesh Khanna

Today is the birth anniversary of Rajesh Khanna aka Kaka, the widely acknowledged and officially recognized first superstar of Hindi Cinema. He holds the record of giving maximum number of solo hits in a row.Always playing an ordinary man, his roles were easy to relate to and identify with.In fact there was this extraordinary portrayal of the ordinary, wherein lay his appeal. With traces of Dilip Kumar and Dev Anand, he comes across as a veritable mix of the two, a Tragedian and a Romantic. A recipient of many honours and awards including Padma Bhushan, one saw him becoming a slave of his superstar image and as a result dying as a loner.
