Rajesh Khanna has already died…in his own eyes, years back, with his stardom!
The testimonial to the phenomenon he was is that Amitabh, in an interview, confessed that he felt huge inferiority-complex due to Kaka; and he discretely remembers that he got so envied looking at Khanna’s photo on a cover-page, that he muttered “Ye bandaa khaata kya hai! Iske gaal itne gulaabi ho kaise sakte hain!”
But as they say… “A girl looks beautiful as long as she doesn’t know that she is…and a guy seems intelligent as long as he doesn’t test if he is!” Similarly, when Kaka got aware (and addicted) of the kind of impact he has on people, the impact started diminishing!
Possibly, at first he was too innocent to be wise, and then too wise to stay that innocent! Whatever the cause, time changed…but Kaka got stuck in the time-zone of yesteryears, choosing to lock himself in his own self-image, within periphery of his own house…
But why did this happen??
Somebody said it beautifully…With one-tenth of his talent, one-fourth of his looks but half of his waist-size, Jeetendra made a long and successful career as a hero, due to only one reason – Discipline!
Kaka, while getting carried away with his success in the form of wrong habits, people and choices; forgot that the exhilarating lad called ‘talent’ is a huge curse, unless accompanied by its boring ally…
…Boring, because by definition, Discipline is“doing those things that you don’t like to do…to get those things that you would like to get…
