The time of superstars comes and goes in Bollywood. But do you know who was the first superstar of Bollywood? This star was so popular among the public for his romantic acting that during that time, each of his films became a super duper hit. Girls were so crazy about his looks and style that they used to write love letters to him in blood. Yes, the cute child seen with his parents in this photo is the same superstar who completely changed Bollywood with his acting and style. This superstar is Rajesh Khanna.
Rajesh Khanna was born in Amritsar city of Punjab. In his childhood, his parents named him Jatin Khanna, but before coming to Bollywood, he changed his name to Rajesh Khanna and this name helped him brighten his fortunes. His fortune became so bright with the name Rajesh that people bowed before his popularity. Let us tell you that Rajesh Khanna had studied with superstar Jitendra, but when he came into films, even his elder brother became a star.
Rajesh Khanna’s Bollywood debut happened through All India Talent Contest. After winning this contest, in 1966, Chetan Anand gave the actor a chance in his film Aakhri Raat. The film did not do well and Rajesh Khanna had to survive by doing odd jobs for the next three years. After this, Rajesh Khanna’s luck paid off and he got a chance to work in Shakti Samant’s film Aradhana. In this film, his beauty, romantic style and acting opposite Sharmila Tagore made the film a superhit. After this, Rajesh Khanna along with Shakti Samant gave superhit films like Kati Patang, Anurag, Amar Prem, Request and Ajnabee.
