End of an era of Rajesh Khanna 1942-2012

Asian single women
In the morning, and I would like to hit the maid servant of the Catholic Anjou, which will be sent to the market by the mother Anjou, and Shanti Mahendroo, to buy eggs because he "wants Kakaji eggs for breakfast." Like me, and I am just another girl, also followed closely the life of Kaka completely. The name was Tina Munim. I went to middle school next to the Gujarati house of Anjou. Like most teenagers, Tina, too, was fascinated by this phenomenon in the country.
Years later, in the first half of the 80s, and I formally introduced to Rajesh Khanna. This time, was to co-star Tina and I would like to hang around her house, which was also in my neighborhood.I remember that long before Tina was talking about a couple, brought his wife Dimple Kapadia to Tina's house for dinner. Both of us stared in awe at Mrs. Rajesh Khanna.
Sometime in 1983, got a chance to interact with Khanna as a correspondent for the Star & Style magazine. I was asked to do a cover story it because two of his films, is currently Mohan Kumar and Kumar Tak Souten Saawan, and made a mark in the box office. And considered this period as His second coming. First came my interview with Kaka 20 days ago. Was shot in the studios in order to Filmistan Sohanlal Kanwar in the world of Shatrughan Sinha with Paap.  

It was the first time that I got a taste of what I later learned that "the treatment of Rajesh Khanna." I went to the studio for 20 days a stranger on an ongoing basis. Every day, I saw the melting of ice (ice there was a huge cut-out in the group) and made conversation with Shatrughan Sinha, who indulged me because he thought I was waiting for a break Bollywood starlet.
Kakaji will come to the studio in the afternoon, see me wait, and ask him Rajaram makeup man to give me chai, and then disappear in his truck. In the evening, I will be given a ride in the car to the Khar of the supernatural. But not the interview did not happen. Summoned only when I lose, I Aashirwad.
My ordeal lasted from lack of access to interview for a few days. Like me, will be sitting producers are innumerable in the office one floor outside it, waiting for an interview with a man.
And Prashant, Director of Kaka, offering us chai and sympathy because it is difficult it has no time for us. One day, and made my way patience and I broke into tears. Prashant appearance of his master, one-story writer to attend to shout. Tearful eyes, and clearly remember how Kaka came to his office in Lungi and striped silk KURTA, followed by Tina.
Laughed both saw me sobbing, and asked: "What is it." After you have ended my spree, Rajesh did not cover my story specifically in 15 minutes. Announced in my story - "I'm back on top of'' Yes, he did give Amitabh Bachchan, a few nights with no sleep at that point and since then, Kaka and I shared a healthy relationship too, and respect for each other. We met often as a writer and star, and sometimes as friends and then he drank Bacardi;. and used often to rib me, saying: "Mina, you can bring the coke, and I make the Bacardi. In this way we will be on an equal footing. "
I was with him when he announced Jay Jay Shiv Shankar, a film with Dimple long after they had separated. I spent the entire day with him in Trinidad in 2006 where he was received and Zeenat Aman Lifetime Achievement Awards, and others are local. In fact I sat down and Kaka next to each other in business class from Trinidad to London and spent a good six hours will down memory lane. In the head, and said he was still a star. He believed that he was the king. I did not correct him. 
I sat next instead of him that does not control how his hands were neat. Nail polish has been completely and seemed to enjoy his breakfast. And his hand luggage was a small plastic bag with a pack of cigarettes Dunhill and brush his hair. In spite of his hair and thin, he run a brush through his hair often.
Appeared in India, around the same time, he had encountered some problems, tax and he was sitting in his office at the link road over the Titan showroom because he was commenting Aashirwad by the tax authorities. I spoke to him several times on the phone. When he got very lonely in the evening and said he had asked his driver to take him to McDonald's on the link road to the chicken burger and a glass of strawberry milk.
Most likely, the first signs of his illness was already there. Who knows? All I know is that the biggest fear Kakaji in those days was that he would be alone when he passed away. Something he did not want. Fortunately for him, and reached the largest and flash his daughter, who shares his birthday festival (29 December) and his son in law Akshay Kumar out of him. Dimple was his estranged wife is also there for him these past two years, playing Florence Nightingale. And care for the man who married him in 1973, separated from the early 80s, but never divorced.
Kaka, the symbol of the style of the seventies 
It was all the hype and hysteria surrounding Rajesh Khanna in the 60s and 70s also thanks in part to his looks famous, and behaviors. After all, who can forget the tent trademark of the head, and who defended mischievous? He melted the hearts of thousands of women with only one gesture. If Kaka made women go weak in the knees, and made men imitate his style is clear. The Khanna whether Toby Gurkha from Aradhana (1969) or round-collared kurtas teacher short, mufflers or belts on T-shirts, fashion and fashion sense in the private sector. Some experiments called fashion and hairstyle to him by the masses across India. Whether it's his style dancing gait, or distinct sartorial tendencies, and they will forever be associated with the first star of India.
