Akshay Kumar on his father-in-law, Rajesh Khanna's, illness

Earlier in the day we reported about Rajesh Khanna, one of the stalwarts in the entertainment industry, being unwell and critical. The man who took cinema to a different pedestal altogether has been suffering from Cancer since April this year. Yes, he has been an idol for many. When he wore a Bengali kurta and said his dialogues with a little bend on his neck, women all across the globe went crazy for this man, who is truly an epitome of performance. Who can forget his famous lines? “Pushpa…I hate tears…” from the movie Amar Prem. We cried in Anand and laughed and sang with him in Haathi Mere Saathi. Truly, Rajesh Khanna is “the” reason why life has become more beautiful for millions of souls. Now, we all know that Akshay Kumar is the son-in-law of this great man. So we decided to talk to him and learn about his feelings at this hour of pain and pang. “I don’t really want to comment anything at this point of time. Please get in touch with me later. But I am glad to learn that fans are praying for Rajesh ji,” said Akshay to Tellychakkar.com. We understand, Akshay. These are difficult times for your family and our well wishes are always there with you and Rajesh ji. May he get well soon and lives and laughs for years to come. PS-Later Akshay held a press conference and told media persons, "He (Rajesh Khanna) is absolutely fine, healthy and hearty. It was all rumours that he is unwell. On the contrary, he is more than fine. The information that you people have got is absolutely wrong." Rumours were making rounds that Mr Khanna has breathed his last. But he is well and recovering. Long life to him.
