The first superstar.

In the programme, 'Total recall', this afternoon it was the narrative of the Rajesh Khanna phenomenon of the '70s. He was the first superstar of the Hindi movies.

My favourite has always been his 26 minute appearance in the movie, 'Andaaz' immortalised by the peppy Kishore Kumar number, 'Zindagi ek safar hai suhaana.......!' And the subsequent words became the 'sine qua non' of my life and I quote,

         'Hansthe gaathe jahaan se guzar
          Duniya ki tu parvah na kar.....
          Muskurathe hue din bithaana
          Yahaan kal kya ho kisne jaana....'
