Aradhana

Rajesh Khanna gave us some of the most beautiful movies and songs to remember him by.

They are too many to list, so here's a look at some of his best. Rajesh Khanna serenades his lady love Sharmila Tagore, while she pretends to ignore him even as she's terribly flattered by the attention.

Post your condolences here.
