On Rajesh Khanna's birthday - the BBC documentary
The man who mesmerized women of all ages for almost a decade, got letters from them written their own blood, and caused mass hysteria wherever he went, Rajesh Khanna, is the subject of this documentary:
BBC reporter Jack Pizzey managed to get exceptional access to Rajesh Khanna and the result is this fascinating documentary – Rajesh Khanna – Bombay Superstar.
Part 1:
In part 1, we see an entire set, and breathless women fans, and the superstar is several hours late! Hrishikesh Mukherjee and his set wait for Rajesh to arrive for the filming of Namak Haraam. When he does arrive a game of one-upmanship begins and it Rajesh who blinks first.
Part 2:
After making the filming crew wait for five days with appointments he does not keep, he finally meets up with the film crew for this documentary. When asked – How do you stay on top? His response is – You have to be cruel, I am impulsive, do things by intuition. His sudden decision to marry 15-16 year old Dimple, one film old, is described at length in this clip – is it true love or the result of a night with 14 drinks? Gossip columnist Devi (Devyani Chaubal) from Star and Style thinks it is the latter.
