INDORE: The fans of yesteryear Bollywood star Rajesh Khanna, popularly known as 'Kaka' of the Indian cinema, wished for his fast recovery. He has been admitted a hospital in Mumbai.
The long journey of the first superstar of Bollywood had brought him to Indore once, when he had come to the city in the year 1993 to launch a magazine of a Hindi daily, and had spent some time here "wo Indore aaye the aur bahot khubsurat shairi bhi ki thi," recalls Shriram Tamrakar, a 72-year-old media critic from Indore, adding "he also gave a spellbinding speech on that occasion with a lecture on films and his visit wasn't a paid one" says Tamrakar.
Indore did not have many occasions of hosting the superstar but numerous Kaka fans. Arun Thackeray, a 46-year-old builder, film buff and fan of Khanna, says "I don't think any other actor could ever manage to reach such height, he gave several hits in a row."
