Mumbai: Bollywood?s first superstar, Rajesh Khanna, borrowed a phrase from the film fraternity that served him so well for 25 years to say his final goodbye yesterday. His last words are reported to have been ? ?time up ho gaya, pack up.? Kaka?s final words were revealed online by no less a person than Amitabh Bachchan, the late actor?s co-star in many hit films. Amitabh Bachchan was late to Twitter, having rushed to Aashirwad, the Khanna bungalow on Carter Road in Bandra in Mumbai as he paid his condolences to the bereaved family of Rajesh Khanna and pay his last respects.
Amitabh Bachchan may have been reminded of another time he heard Kaka?s ?last words,? in their first and most famous film together, 1971?s Anand. Rajesh Khanna was the eponymous Anand, dying of cancer but eternally cheerful who in the movie inspires Bachchan?s somber young doctor character to see the lighter shades of life. At the end of the movie, Anand dies but leaves a poignant message for his doctor friend: ?Babumoshai, zindagi aur maut upar wale ke haath hain jahapanah, use naa aap badal sakte hain na main? (Life and death are dealt by the Almighty, neither you nor I can change that).
Today, 40 after the release of one of Indian cinema?s biggest hits, Anand, it was revealed that the veteran actor was battling for his life with cancer for a long time. He was in and out of hospital these last two months, but never lost the indomitable spirit he assumed on screen in Anand. On June 21, after being reported severely unwell and not having eaten for days, a visibly weak Khanna emerged onto the balcony of his home to wave and flash the victory sign to the throng of worried fans gathered below. Yesterday, on the morning of July 18, Rajesh Khanna died at his home, surrounded by his family, just a day after being discharged from Mumbai?s Lilavati Hospital. It was time for him to pack up.
