New Delhi: Rajesh Khanna, who is lovingly known as Kaka, may not be among us, but his stardom discussions will always be held. Since his name is inscribed in big letters on the pages of the history of Indian cinema. He is given a credit as the first superstar of Indian cinema, who gave about 15 single hit films, which is still unmatched today. He had a lot of fans, especially women who did a lot for him, such as writing letters with blood and much more.
A well-known actor Kiran Kumar, who worked with Khanna in Savera, once shared interesting things about the late star. Khanna’s films had some great soundtracks, especially with Kishore Kumar and RD Burman. They are famous for their unique dialogue payment, emotional intensity and romantic screen presence. Savera was released in 1972, and around that time, Kumar spent a lot of time with Rajesh, and then he saw what the real stardom is like.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan a few years ago, Kiran Kumar also mentioned that no star can match Rajesh Khanna’s superstardam. However, he mentioned that Salman Khan comes close to Rajesh’s unmatched stardom, but still he is not that much.
Savera Star praised Kaka’s hospitality and said, ‘I was working on a film named Savera. Kaka’s secretary was producing it, Kaka had funded it. It was originally Kaka Saheb’s film. He further said, ‘I have never seen stardom like him, believe me. Salman Khan is close to him, but no one else had stardom like Rajesh Khanna. Wherever his car was parked, lipstick marks would be put on him. He means to say that the actor’s female fans were so crazy for him that if he did not see, he used to kiss his car and leave the marks of lipstick.
