A tribute to the Legend


Mr Rajesh Khanna..my Father introduced me to this marvelous actor through a cassette 'Golden Collection of Rajesh Khanna' by T-series. Countless times I have heard songs from that cassette. There was span where daily I used to listen to those songs during my teens the slot I had allocated was during my breakfast time, though few of the songs are sad I enjoyed the lyrics the truth in the lines so apt to real world. The first time I saw the cassette my father had bought I didn't have much interest as Rajesh Khanna was a faded superstar as my Father played the cassette the lyrics caught me, it was like this is so true..as if some ordinary person is speaking his mind. Though I hadn't seen any movies of his till then I had become his fans because of these songs and few are also morals.




'Kuchh to log kahenge logon ka kam hai kahana,
chhoro bekara ki baton men kahin bita na jae raina..'

'Zindagi ek safar hai suhana
Yahan kal kya ho kisne jaana..'

'Pyaar diwaanaa hotaa hai, mastaanaa hotaa hain
har khushee se, har gam se, begaanaa hotaa hain..'




Following songs are blend of romance with sense of pain too..I hadn't watched any of these movies yet could imagine the scenario. Sometime I was so lost in the feelings I was unaware of tears in my eyes.

'Jeevan Se Bhari Teri Aankhen
Majboor Karen Jeene Ke Liye..'

'Yeh jo mohabbat hai yeh unaka hain kam
mehbub kaa jo bas lete huye nam
mar jaye mit jaye ho jaye badanam
rehane do chhodo bhee jane do yar, ham naa karenge pyar.....'

'Kahin door jab din dhal jaye
saanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye chupake se aaye
mere Kayaalon ke aangan mein
koi sapanon ke deep jalaaye deep jalaaye
kahin door jab din dhal jaye
saanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye chupake se aaye..'

'Mere Dil Mein Aaj Kya Hai Tu Kahe To Maein Bataa Doon..'

'Woh shaam kuchh ajeeb thi, yeh shaam bhi ajeeb hai
Woh kal bhi paas paas thi woh aaj bhi kareeb hai..'

'Mere Sapnon ki raani kab aayegi tu
aayi rut mastaani kab aayegi tu
beeti jaaye zindagaani kab aayegi tu
chali aa tu chali aa..'


Song which made people crazy
'Roop tera mastana, pyar mera deewana..'

This unforgettable collection and the tribute to Indian Cinema by him will never be erased no matter how many generations come he is not a faded superstar but one of the legends of Indian cinema.

July 18th 2012 he left all of us physically but he is always in our hearts and feelings.

Rest In Peace Mr Rajesh Khanna ji.
