Rajesh Khanna

And last but not least, the first superstar of Bollywood, our very own Kaka. Rajesh Khanna was the first and true romantic hero who was named a superstar of Bollywood.. Every dialogue of his is unforgettable, but still we attempt to compile a list of his most famous.

1. Babumoshai, zindagi aur maut uparwale ke haath hai. Usse na aap badal sakte hain na main. Hum sab toh rangmanch ki kathputhliyan hain jinki dor uparwale ki ungliyon main bandhi hain. Kab, kaun, kaise uthega yeh koi nahi bata sakta hai. - Anand

Chalte chalte mere yeh geet yaad rakhna. Kabhi alvida naa kehna.
