Twinkle Khanna shares dad Rajesh Khanna’s video on his death anniversary: ‘I have his eyes, my son has his smile’

Twinkle Khanna has shared a throwback video from one of his film sets to remember her father, late actor Rajesh Khanna, on his ninth death anniversary on Sunday.

Rajesh Khanna can be seen working on various takes for a song sequence, doing his famous head tilt action for it. The actor can also be seen telling a reporter that he loved his work, even if it meant going through the same process of running around tress (or rocks, as in this particular case) again and again. The video is part of a BBC documentary titled Bombay Superstar.

In the video, Rajesh Khanna is shooting for the famous song, Suno Kaho Kaha Suna from 1974 film Aap Ki Kasam. Sharing the video, Twinkle Khanna wrote on Instagram Sunday afternoon, “I have his eyes, my son has his smile and the world has pieces of him embedded in their hearts. He still lives on..” Twinkle had first posted the clip last year in April and it had gone viral at the time.

While Twinkle Khanna is not too regular with social media posts about her dad, she always shares notes on his birth and death anniversaries. Her Instagram page is frequently peppered with glimpses of her kids and family.

Rajesh Khanna died on July 18, 2012. Fondly known as Kaka, he married Dimple Kapadia in 1973 and had Twinkle Khanna in 1974 and Rinke Khanna in 1977. Rajesh and Dimple separated in 1984. However, they never divorced each other.
