Twinkle and Akshay ushered in his 34th birthday last Sunday at a well known restaurant in Bombay. All of Akshay's friends, Twinkle's friends and their mutual friends were there.

Contrary to cynical asides like, "Give them six months" and "Akshay is just playing a loyal husband to prove to the world that he can be faithful", the marriage seems just fine.

Akshay shares a strong bond not only with his wife, but with her parents, too. Dimple Kapadia can't stop raving about her son-in-law. The feeling is mutual.

When Anita Guha signed on for Jai Santoshi Maa decades ago, she probably had no idea how the film would lift her to instant stardom, even to the point of actually being worshipped by people.

Released in 1975, the same year as Sholay, the film became a blockbuster hit. People looked up to it so much that they would actually remove their shoes before stepping inside theatres. Guha went on to star in quite a few other films -- she even played mother to Rajesh Khanna in Aradhana -- but her growing fame for the religious classic surprised her.

In 1964, Paramount produced a memorable Hollywood historical Becket, pitting two screen giants Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole against each other. The two thespians played best friends turned bitter foes.

Nine years later, Hrishikesh Mukherjee attempted a more contemporary interpretation with Namak Haram, starring two of Hindi cinema's most famous names --- seventies superstar Rajesh Khanna and the actor destiny had singled out to be his successor, Amitabh Bachchan.

There were so many words that were spelt as “Rajesh Khanna” then: “Magic” for one. “Charisma” for another. Here’s a look at Hindi cinema’s first Superstar, a man for the term “Phenomenon” was coined
It was somewhere in early 1967 that two films called Raaz and Aakhri Khat were released. They were made by top filmmakers of the time - G.P.Sippy and Chetan Anand respectively - but nosedived at the b-o. Their heroines Babita and Indrani Mukherjee were unknown and only the haunting solos Akele hain chale aao and Baharon mera jeevan bhi sanwaaro, respectively, made a mark.

RAJESH KHANNA - THE GREATEST LEGEND & REAL SUPER STAR OF INDIAN CINEMA.

There are romantic leading men and there are romantic leading men, but very few have taken cinematic love to legendary heights. While there might be other icons but Super-Star- Actor Rajesh Khanna after four decades, he is the ultimate true romantic legend.

He was the loverboy without compare.

She was the demure girl with a bod to kill for.
