In the midst of the funeral of the late Rajesh Khanna, an emotional moment unfolded when Amitabh Bachchan reflected on a memory from their early days in cinema. Bachchan recalled how, as a young actor, he once waited nearly two hours on a film set for the superstar a delay that was then considered part of Rajesh Khanna’s
Larger-than-life stardom.
With time having come full circle, Bachchan quietly remarked, “Now look at him,” a line that powerfully summed up the irony, fragility, and fleeting nature of fame.
Theatre owner Manoj Desai later shared this touching anecdote, describing it as a moment filled with respect, humility, and unspoken brotherhood between two giants of Hindi cinema.
A reminder that stardom may fade, but legacy, dignity, and human connection endure forever.
