When Khanna and Munim worked together for the first time in 1981's Fiffty Fiffty, little did they know that they were on the brink of one of Bollywood's most-reported off-screen love affairs: Khanna ended up leaving his wife, the actress Dimple Kapadia. Rajesh Khanna was a legendary Indian movie actor, filmmaker as well as a politician. Other films include Chhailla Babu (1977), Aashiq Hoon Baharon Ka (1977) and Jaanwar (1983), which has hummable melodies such as "Ik ajnabee hasina se yoon mulakat ho gayi" and "Yaar dildar tujhe kaisa chahiye". Hum Dono Do Premi is a four-minute train sequence in the 1974 film Ajnabee, which saw Khanna paired for the first time with Aman. An uncle advised him to change his first name to Rajesh, and he entered the 1965 All India Talent Contest, beating more than 10,000 contestants to land starring roles in the movies Aakhri Khat. Khanna and Aman shared plenty of on-screen success, and even filmed a song atop a train (much before Shah Rukh Khan in Chhaiyya Chhaiyya for 1998's Dil Se ). Trivia alert: Amitabh Bachchan was first signed for the role but, was dropped when filmmaker Mohan Kumar made it clear he preferred Khanna. Unattainable, yet approachable," Azmi says of her co-star. "There were stars, and then there were the boys next door. The roles were tailor-made for the actors, who went on to star in the blockbuster Avatar (1983). Rumour has it that Mumtaz fell ill after each shoot in the rain and has often recounted in interviews how her co-star would gently tease her with the words: "Phir Mumtaz ko bheega diya, aa gaya na bukhar?" (Got Mumtaz wet again, of course she's sick).Īzmi and Khanna worked together in several films, but are best known for their 1980 hit Thodisi Bewafaii. Mumtaz and Khanna came together in a number of dramas, including Do Raaste (1969), Bandhan (1969), Sac haa Jhu tha (1970) and Aap Ki Kasam (1974), and were perhaps best known for dancing in the rain in most of their films – including for the song Gore Rang Pe Na Itna ( Roti, 1974) and Prem Kahani Mein ( Prem Kahani, 1975). In fact, Amar Prem, which boasts some of Khanna's best-known dialogue – including "Pushpa, I hate tears" – is considered to be the duo's most iconic film. A few more successful pairings in films such as Safar (1970), Amar Prem (1972) and Daag (1973) followed, making them India's favourite on-screen couple. Khanna and Tagore first set the screen on fire with their sensual Roop Tera Mastana song sequence in Aradhana, a film that got Tagore her first – and only – Filmfare Award for Best Actress. From Mumtaz to Hema Malini, we look at his top leading ladies. But he remains best-known for his lover-boy roles. Khanna was also known for the diverse range of characters he portrayed. The films he did in the next three years cemented his status as India's first superstar, and he received the kind of adulation that is unfathomable without the support of social media. Known for his dashing looks and signature dance moves, the actor rose to fame in the 1969 film Aradhana and went on to star in 14 consecutive hits thereafter. But, unlike actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar, he wasn’t able to maintain his star power and had to work in terrible movies like Malik Ek and Dobara.Nearly three years after his death on July 18, 2012, Rajesh Khanna continues to pop up in lists ranking Bollywood's most-loved romantic heroes. Jackie Shroff was one of the most stylish actors of his generation and his roles in movies like Parinda and Ram Lakhan are still remembered. However, his roles in B-Grade films like Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baaki Hai. Who can forget Sunil Shetty’s ability for doing action films like Border and Mohra, and his superb comic timing in films like Gopi Kishan and Hera Pheri. However, towards the later part of his career he acted in many atrociously bad films like Awwal Number and Mr. Dev Anandĭev Anand’s unique style earned him legions of female fans, through his roles his in films like Jewel Thief and Guide. Rajesh Khanna was one of the biggest stars of his generation playing memorable roles in films like Khamoshi and Anand, but the superstar poured water over his reputation by acting in a B-grade film like Wafa: A Deadly Love Story where he is romancing a woman much younger to him. However, he ultimately became a part of many embarrassing films Ssukh, Naughty 40 and the upcoming Aa Gaya Hero among others. Govinda was the king of comedy in the 90s acting in several popular films like Raja Babu and Hero No. We look at some such A-list actors who did B-grade films.
Even this month, we have a movie by erstwhile successful actor Govinda coming out with a B-grade film Aa Gaya Hero. Stars who once raked in big money at the box office, had to eventually do horrible movies which released without anyone noticing. Bollywood is an unpredictable industry, and we’ve seen many actors fall from grace and do films that did no justice to their talent.
