‘Time is up’, ‘Pack up’ – these were the last words of the first superstar of Indian cinema Rajesh Khanna before he breathed his last. This was stated by Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who visited Rajesh Khanna’s house on Wednesday to pay his tributes. “…As I sat at his home this (yesterday) afternoon, to pay my respects, soon after learning of his passing away, a close functionary of his, came up to me and told me in a choked voice what his last words were – ‘time ho gaya hai ! Pack Up!’, Bachchan, 69, posted on his blog. Bachchan, who worked with the legendary actor in his initial years of his career and starred in films like “Anand” and “Namak Haram”, said the opportunity to share screen space with the legend was like a god’s own blessing to him. “I first saw him in a film magazine… His film Aradhana was my next meeting with him which my Mother took me along to see. Soon after that, I was being cast opposite him in Anand. This was like a miracle, God’s own blessing and one that gave me ‘reverse respect’.
