"He has gone to a very nice and heavenly place. We have a tendency to be terribly happy that he had gone there," his son-in-law Akshay Kumar (actor) told reporters.
"I hope everyone there, whoever is watching him, will simply say a bit prayer for him," he said.
Crash course in romance

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt wrote: "When we have a tendency to lose a loved one, one thing inside us dies. Our generation loved Rajesh Khanna. Today a bit of us dies with this enigmatic star."
Actress Shabana Azmi tweeted: "He was the SUPERSTAR like no alternative. I did ten films with him. Met him last at Apsara awards. Pale shadows of him however smile as winsome."
Popularly known as "Kaka" by his fans, the actor won a number of business awards throughout his long career, though he was solely recently seen in his 1st TV industrial.
