Every artist has their journey, and Rajesh Khanna also saw his share of ups and downs. He started his career in 1966. Rajesh first began with theater before venturing into Bollywood. He made his debut in Aakhri Khat (1966), which was India’s first official entry for the Academy Awards in 1967. The movie earned him all the love and fame, and in no time, Rajesh Khanna became the star of the masses. He made girls go gaga over him.

However, the actor managed to climb the ladder of success and became India’s first superstar, holding the record for delivering 15 consecutive hit films. In the 60s and 70s, no one could match his popularity.

As for Rajesh Khanna’s personal life, he had a total of six siblings, with Rajesh being the youngest. His father’s name was Nandlal Khanna, and his mother’s name was Chandrani Devi. Rajesh’s uncle, Chunnilal, had no children of his own, so he adopted Rajesh. Chunnilal and his wife, Leelawati Khanna, raised Rajesh Khanna with great care and affection.

After sensational affairs, Rajesh Khanna tied the knot with Dimple Kapadia in 1973. It is said that at the time of their marriage, Rajesh Khanna was almost twice Dimple’s age.
