Rajesh Khanna : Tragic Life of Bollywood's First Super Star

WHILE a lot has been written about Amitabh Bachchan, there is a dearth of material on the man whose throne he usurped. The man in question is, of course, Rajesh Khanna, who caused such a frenzy in India — and likely in Pakistan too — that he caused film journalists to coin the term ‘superstar’ to describe him. While Bachchan continues to this day to be a part of the public sphere, mainly thanks to his ability to reinvent himself time and again, the same, sadly, cannot be said of Khanna, who from the late 1980s until his death in 2012 remained almost invisible, a mere shadow of his former, glorious self. That was perhaps the biggest tragedy of Khanna’s life, given that he was larger than life and basked unashamedly in the adulation he once commanded.
