ROMANTIC ICON
Rajesh Khanna
                          1976
  "The masses should keep a little of the love they feel for me today for my tomorrow which is when I will need it more than I do today." So spoke Rajesh Khanna, here on the sets of Maha Chor, undisputed superstar in 1975. Sure enough. Amitabh Bachchan soon eclipsed him and Khanna was reduced to a struggling politician. By the time he tried his umpteenth comeback on screen in 2008, he was an embarrassment. But his stardom at its peak was as glamourous as it was excessive.
