4 min readNew DelhiApr 15, 2026 03:52 PM IST Rajesh Khanna may have left us, but stories of his meteoric rise and painful struggle with stardom’s decline remain timeless. Often hailed as Hindi cinema’s first true superstar, his dominance was unparalleled—but, like many legends, it proved fleeting. With the arrival of Amitabh Bachchan and the seismic success of Zanjeer (1973), the industry witnessed a dramatic shift. Over time, Bachchan became the new face of Hindi cinema, and Rajesh Khanna’s films began to falter at the box office. This transition, as many close to him observed, was not easy for Khanna to accept. It reportedly pushed him into denial and deep frustration.

When Lalwani mentioned Khanna’s comeback phase with films like Avatar, …
