Image is everything when to comes to filmstars. By the time the world saw Rajesh Khanna in the Havells television commercial it had almost forgotten what he looked like in real life. For the legions of his die-hard fans he was still Anand or Bawarchi’s Raghu or Amar Prem’s Anand babu and had ceased to exist beyond his celebrated roles.
Off screen he was the superstar who illuminated the brightest and then fell into unimaginable darkness. The moment the world saw him as the feeble, faded star left with electrical appliances for fans in a advertisement, the enduring image of the iconic star changed forever. This is an excerpt from the book Dark Star: The Loneliness of Being Rajesh Khanna by Gautam Chintamani published by Harper Collins India.

With ministers like Niranjan Jyoti in his team,the PM doesn’t need a united Opposition to pour cold water on his Project Achche Din.
Narendra Modi is vegetarian and so, I presume, is Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti. Neither would know the feeling of a tiny fish bone stuck in the throat. In rare situations, the gag hold can be fatal. Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti is the fish bone, which the prime minister can digest, only if he could swallow. The abominable Sadhvi’s lack of facility with language and her penchant for rhymes have landed her and her boss in a shark soup. The BJP was quick in not defending the indefensible.
