Kolkata, July 18 : Mourning the death of
Bollywood's first superstar Rajesh Khanna, West Bengal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee Wednesday recollected her association with the Bollywood
star and said he was "very fun loving". "I had known Rajeshji
for a long time. I still remember my association with Rajesh Khanna when
both of us were elected to Lok Sabha as Congress MPs. He was very fun
loving and used to make others laugh," said Banerjee. Rajesh Khanna passed away Wednesday following prolonged illness. He was 69. He was a Congress MP from the New Delhi constituency from 1992 to 1996. "During
that time we used to chat for long hours in the central hall of
parliament. I had once invited him for a party programme. He told me
that he would come after dressing smartly by applying all kindS of
make-up," said Banerjee. "I remember his smiling face. The way he entertained cine lovers over the years, that was something," she added. © IANS |
