FILMYKEEMA’S Top Dialogues of Indian Cinema’s Only Super Star Rajesh Khanna
Babumushoi, zindagi badi honi chahiye … lambi nahin
Babumushoi, zindagi aur maut upar waale ke haath hai … usse na toh aap badal sakte hai na main … hum sab to rangmanch ki kathputliyan hai jinki dor upar waale ki ungliyon mein bandhi hai
Na koi tarang hai, na koi umang hai … meri zindagi bhi kya ek kati patang hai
Kisi badi khushi ke intezaar mein … hum yeh chote chote khushiyon ke mauke kho dete hain
Jab tak zinda hoon tab tak mara nahi … jab mar gaya sala main hi nahi
The star will be remembered for generations for his terrific body of work.
