The King of Romance : Rajesh Khanna

Long before Shahrukh Khan was Trying to recreate the magic of romance in movies and making blockbuster Masala movies which had a strong central love story at its core , with action, drama, comedy all thrown in, much before that, there was a Man who created perhaps the golden era of romance , the man who could express love with just a flutter of his eyes,The man would was hailed as the 1st superstar of Bollywood, The phenomenon,  Rajesh Khanna


Rajesh Khanna, came in at a time, when Heroes were always shown as creatures who were God's favourites for directing all his wrath with all the might. .The choicest of troubles and frustrations were reserved by the almighty for his chosen ones,The  hindi film Hero , Before Rajesh Khanna..
They were shown as poor, helpless, tortured souls who cudnt do a thing about their miserable lIves until God had mercy and course corrected 

But then came Rajesh Khanna ...The man who made people sing, swoon and dance..The man who made people forget all their miseries with splendid music and his equally splendid efforts..Rajesh khanna represented the best of both the world's,  a blend of old traditional  values and and the modern yet cautious approach to life, a welcome combination....People found a balm in Rajesh khanna and his music...The way he could romance the prettiest of heroines just by a simple flutter of his eyes , his soft spoken mannerisms, a voice with great restrain,  eyes which packed in huge mystique,  a man who looked like he was born to love and spread love and not change the world or trying to create a new world order

Rajesh khanna just wanted to love,  sing and romance and not worry about bigger world issues...
