He has also served a five year tenure as an MP in the Indian parliament (1991–1996). Also known as Kaka, he has been termed "perhaps the first Superstar of the Indian film industry".

Early life

Jatin Khanna was born in Amritsar on 29 December 1942. His parents, who had been married for eighteen years and had three daughters of their own, were very keen on a son, so they adopted him. He was brought up in a very protective environment.

Khanna's parents had misgivings about Khanna's serious ambitions regarding a professional career in the dramatic arts. His initial foray into cinema with renowned film maker Chetan Anand was not a resounding success. Nonetheless, he persisted and did very well. His previous theatrical background assisted him with the characterization of the personas of the cinema which he portrayed.

Adult life

He is Hindi cinema's first officially proclaimed and acknowledged "Superstar", as the term Superstar first came into existence only for him in Indian movies.He debuted in Aakhri khat (1966), which was unsuccessful. The films where he was noticed by people were Aurat (1967) and Baharoan ke sapne (1967). He was christened with "Superstar" status after his performance in Aradhana. He in all has performed in 88 great films of which 72 have him as a solo hero and starred in only 31 badly made films in his career spanning 25 years as the main lead hero until 1991. Also he unlike his contemprories, did only 15 multi starers in his career with him having a pivotal role.

In the late 1960s, Khanna dated Anju Mahendroo. The couple drifted apart following his early success and the couple split in the early-1970s. He married Dimple Kapadia in 1973 and has two daughters from the mairrage. Khanna and Dimple Kapadia separated in 1984, as his rigorous schedule kept him away much of the time and also she became interested in pursuing an acting career. In the mid-1980s, after Dimple and Khanna separated, Tina Munim was romantically linked with Khanna, but the relationship was short-lived. Following a few years of separation, the relationship between Kapadia and Khanna blossomed once again, and remained that of close friends. Their elder daughter Twinkle, an interior decorator and also a former Hindi film heroine, is married to superstar Akshay Kumar and younger daughter Rinkie, also an Indian actress is married to an entrepreneur Sameer Saran.

Career

Early success (1966–1974)

Rajesh Khanna joined the film industry after winning an All India Talent Contest through a nation-wide selection procedure by panel of judges like Bimal Roy, Chetan Anand, G.P. Sippy, Shakti Samanta and B. R. Chopra. He made his film debut in the 1966 film Aakhri Khat, followed by Raaz opposite heroine Babita, which had noted Tamil actress Pandari Bai. Both films were unsuccessful. He was noticed for his performances in the next film Baharaon ke sapne followed by box office successes like Aurat (1967) where he played as brother of Padmini, and then in Khamoshi where he played a mad man. His meteoric rise to fame came with the 1969 film Aradhana which was his first major blockbuster hit. From then on he established himself as an exceptionally popular protagonist in the early 1970s, appearing in many romantic and melodramatic films, most of which were hugely successful at the box office.The Actresses with whom he has had the most number of superhits are Sharmila Tagore , Asha Parekh , Mumtaz , Hema Malini and Tina Munim. The Golden and Silver Jubilee hits during this period after Aradhana were the 33 Blockbusters namely Do Raaste, Ittefaq, Doli, Bandhan (1969), Khamoshi, The Train, Safar, Saccha Jhutha (1970), Kati Patang, Mehboob ki Mehendi, Aan Milo Sajna , Anand, Maryada, Andaz, Haathi Mere Saathi, Choti Bahu (1971) , Dushman, Amar Prem, Apna Desh, Mere Jeevan Saathi, Dil Daulat Duniya, Joru Ka Ghulam, Shehzada (1972), , Daag, Anuraag,Bawarchi, Namak Haraam (1973), Avishkaar, Aap Ki Kasam, Ajnabee, Prem Nagar, Roti (1974) and Prem Kahani (1975) . Raja Rani alongwith Aakhri Khat ,Raaz , Maalik, Badnam Farishte are the only unfortunate classic films of his from this era to have flopped at the boxoffice inspite of being fantastic flicks and Humshakal alone is regarded as a bad film of his from this era.In a span of 6 years he acted in more than thirty films of which 34 became blockbuster hits and this is a feat which no actor in the world has to his credit.No other Indian actor has been able to emulate this feat of Rajesh of giving so many superhits successively that too when the gap between 2 films releasing being less than 2 months and also of performing so many varied roles in their career as the main lead hero. During the peak of his career he would be mobbed during public appearances. Fans kissed his car, which would be covered with lipstick marks, and lined the road, cheering and chanting his name. Female fans sent him letters written in their own blood.

Several of the popular songs sung by Kishore Kumar in the 1970s were picturized on Khanna and were mostly composed by R.D.Burman and after Khanna's emergence as a Superstar, Kishore Kumar went onto have a more successful career in playback singing than what he had in the fifties and sixties .

Later career (1976–present)

Post-1976, Khanna had a string of box office flops ie.12 including the classics like Aaina, Mehbooba, Tyaag, Anurodh, and Naukri. Media reports in late seventies suggested that success perhaps had caused Kaka to be complacent, often turning up late for shoots and throwing tantrums, as well as having a whole entourage of sycophants accompany him for his shoots. This behaviour coupled with the changing trend from romantic and social movies to action oriented multi-star films in the late-1970s and early-1980s caused the decline of Khanna's career in terms of box office rating. This was the time ie.1976-79 when Amitabh got the staus of superstar.

Khanna again met success with critically acclaimed box office hits like Amardeep; Prem Bandhan; and Til Til Dalekha (1979), a Punjabi movie which won the Punjab State Government award for best story writer in 1979 which were followed with blockbusters in Hindi like Thodisi Bewafaii, Aanchal (1980), Kudrat and Dhanwaan (1981). He was also praised by critics for portaying his roles in the unsuccessful Redrose (1980) and the successful Dard (1981) which, all together, brought his career back in track.

The 1980s saw him test his versatility, performing varied roles in the consecutive films being released that included that of a college student, a psycopath, a philanderer ,a politician,a middle-aged husband, and an old man etc.. His successful pairings in this era were with Tina Munim,Jaya Prada, Shabana Azmi, Smita Patil, Poonam Dhillon and again with Hema Malini. His most commercially successful films at the box office in this period were Chaila Babu, Karm, Fifty fifty , Bandhish, Phir wohi raat,Rajput, Ashanti, Souten , Agar Tum Na Hote, Avtaar , Dharam Aur Kanoon, Awaaz, Maqsad, , Asha Jyothi, Naya Kadam, Zamana , Akhir kyun, Nishaan, Bewafaaii ,Hum dono, Babu,Shatru, Angaarey, Amrit, Nazrana, Sitapur Ki Geeta, Vijay, Ghar Ka Chiraag, and Swarg. Films like Adhikaar, Anoka Rishta, Alag alag and Aaj Ka M.L.A. Ram Avtar did average business at the box office . He starred in 47 classic films after 1975, and 41 till 1975.

Aradhana made him a Superstar and Anand made him a legend at the young age of 29 whereas Amardeep resurrected his sagging career in late seventies.. The directors who showcased his talent perfectly are Shakti Samanta and Hrishikesh Mukherjee.He shared a very close relationship with R.D.Burman and Kishore Kumar. The successful trio, who had a great working relationship, were very close friends too and have together worked in more than thirty films of which only 11 were box office duds viz. like Raja Rani, Humshakal ,Mehbooba , Chaltapurza ,Naukri, Redrose , Awara baap ,Oonche log , Bundalbaaz, Mahachor and Bhola bhala. The actors who were part of the starcast of most of his films are Sujith Kumar ,Prem Chopra ,Madan Puri ,Asrani ,Bindu and A K Hangal who remained part of his team till late eighties.

Early nineties onwards he stopped taking film assignments and served as an M.P. of New Delhi Constituency from 1991 to 1996.During that period, he returned to acting, appearing in critically acclaimed Khudai (1994). He made a come back as an NRI in Aa Ab Laut Chalen (1999) produced by the RK banner, and Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa (2002) where he played elderly father roles. In September 2007, he officially announced his planned return to the big screen, signing a contract for several new films.
