Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar remembers his father-in-law Rajesh
Khanna on his first death anniversary today

him are not born every day.

Rajesh Khanna passed away on July 18,
2012 following prolonged illness. He was
69. Akshay is married to the late superstar
and Dimple Kapadia's elder daughter
Twinkle.

"It's been a year today, yet the loss is still
so fresh. I don't quite think any of us have
accepted my father-in-law's devastating
departure... To Mr Rajesh Khanna, they
make very few like you, you are a father, a
Legend & a very treasured man, who will never be forgotten," the
45-year-old wrote
on his Facebook page.

"You are in our hearts today and (you will)
always (remain in our hearts). Love and
eternal prayers from your entire family," he
added.

the film fraternity, began his career with Aakhri Khat in 1966 and in
a career spanning five decades, he became a
superstar like no other with hits such as Aradhana, Do Raaste, Safar
and Anand to name a few.
