29th December has a great significance in the context of Hindi films because it is the birthday of Rajesh Khanna, the first superstar of Hindi films. Today is the first birthday of Kaka after his demise on 18th July.
The loss of the original king of romance gripped the nation who had millions of fans across the country trigger a flood of memories with great films, fun, romance, humour, rumour and many honours.
Following 15 consecutive solo hit films in the 1970's (a record that remains unbroken), RK earned the title 'Original Superstar'.
To his credit the iconic actor has films like Amardeep, Phir Wohi Raat, Bandish, Thodi Si Bewafaii, Dard, Kudrat, Dhanwan, Ashanti, Avtaar, Agar Tum Na Hote, Soutan, Jaanwar, Asha, Jyoti, Awaaz, Naya Kadam, Hum Dono, Babu, Aaj Ka M.L.A. Ram Avtar etc.
Furthermore, the superstar shares his birth date with his daughter Twinkle Khanna who will turn 38 today. We wish the beautiful actress a very happy birthday.
Happy birthday Kaka. Your legacy will live on! R.I.P.
