MUMBAI: Forget all saas bahu drama and watch the real life bonding between the yesteryear Superstar Rajesh Khanna & his damaad Akshay Kumar at Zee TV?s Action Replayy Dhinchak Diwali special which will be aired on October 31. In a unique promotional activity for his upcoming film release, director of Action Replay Vipul Shah joined hands with Zee TV to celebrate a Retro Diwali. Besides performing to some hit songs, Akshay also felicitated his father-in-law?s contribution to the silver screen in the good old seventies. Their interaction was truly a historic one.
Akshay comes on stage a bit nostalgic and nervous as he speaks about his first memories about Rajesh Khanna. He says, ?I am thankful to this man for not just giving me my life, but also my wife.? He went on to narrate an incident during his childhood where he had often witnessed at Carter Road when girls of all ages rushed and fawned over the legendary superstar each time he passed by turning his white coloured Impala pink from all the lipstick kisses they left on his car. Akshay spoke of how he saw the impact of stardom watching the renowned actor who is today his father-in-law.
All praise & blessings for his son-in-law, Rajesh said ?Today girls fall at my son-in-laws feet but don?t tell my daughter that? and added with a glint in his eye ?She is the jealous sort and uski jalne ki boo Carter Road tak pahunchegi.?
Rajesh Khanna then proceeded to delight the audience with sheroshayari and naach gaana that included the his famous signature dance steps. Anchor Manish Paul and his son-in-law Akshay also joined the veteran actor in shaking a leg. Celebrity guest Zeenat Aman also joined them on stage for an impromptu jig.
Watch the positivity and mutual admiration between two Superstars from two different eras on the special Action Replayy Dhinchak Diwali episode only on October 31, 2010 from 7 pm onwards on Zee TV.
