The True Magic Behind India's Real Superstar's Eyes!

 

“Jeevan se bhari teri aakhein” – one of the memorable songs pictured on Rajesh khanna and sung by Kishore Kumar. Though the hero sync lips this song for his heroine Sharmila Tagore in Safar, the truth is that the song fits for its hero as well. Yes, the first superstar and real superstar of Indian screen – Rajesh Khanna! The man behind those lovely and charismatic eyes who gave new dimensions to romantic movies of Indian era! Perhaps the only actor who could replicate the same success story in Bollywood as a romantic hero is Shah Rukh Khan, none other else though action heroes like Amitabh Bachchan too have given significant contributions to Bollywood. Khanna hysteria was unique and no other superstar of Indian film industry has been able to achieve the stardom which Khanna earned in a quick succession of time.

 

Years back in 1965 young Jatin took part in a talent hunt competition where he emerged as the winner among 10000 contestants to sign his first film contract of 3 movies – Aakhri khat, Raaz and Baharom ke sapne. Aakri Khat was India’s official entry to Academy awards. Raaz was a hit where he played double hero and he slowly gained a fan crowd, which prompted the film makers to change the already released anti-climax of his next release – Baharom ke sapne. But it was the magical power of Aaradhana in the late 1960s which swept the whole nation and presented the first superstar with the rise of 1970s.

 

Similar to his previous movie Raaz, Khanna played double role in Aaradhana. No doubt, he hid something, perhaps a secret behind his eyes throughout the whole movie, which swept away the careers of many already established romantic stars of Bollywood, Shammi Kapoor, Rajendra Kumar, Dileep Kumar and Dharmendra to name a few. Evergreen hero Dev Anand was the only exception. With the set of many romantic heroes in the late 1960s due to age factor, with ease Rajesh khanna was able to capture the stardom and throne of the biggest star of Bollywood. 74 Golden Jubilee Hits, 22 Silver Jubilee Hits and 9 average hits – it’s not an easy record for any Indian hero to break or achieve. His killing smile and romantic eyes still conquers millions of Indians.
