Madame Tussauds confirmed today that they are creating a waxwork to honor Rajesh Khanna. My heart is full knowing the legacy of India's first superstar will be immortalized in London. Thank you for helping me ensure he receives the recognition he truly deserves.

PAPER PETITION: 23,257
ONLINE PETITION: 1,486
This petition expresses the wish to install the waxwork of Rajesh Khanna, India's First Superstar and Phenomenon at Madame Tussauds Museum.
Born on 29 December 1942 in Amritsar, Punjab, he ranked first and won the United Producers All India Talent Contest held in 1965 by beating 10,000 contestants.
No rise of a star has been quite as dramatic or spectacular as that of Rajesh Khanna. In 1969 Rajesh Khanna achieved super-stardom with Shakti Samanta's 'Aradhana". He became the craze of the nation and swept Bollywood of its feet and the mass hysteria he generated was unlike anything seen before or after. As superhit followed superhit women all over the country swooned over him and every Indian man idolised him.
Rajesh Khanna with Indian music legend singer Kishore Kumar and music director RD Burman gave unforgettable, timeless hit songs which are immensely popular even today. Rajesh Khanna appeared in 163 feature films of which 106 had him as the sole lead hero. He had 15 consecutive solo superhits between 1969 to 1972 which is still an unbroken record in Indian film history. He won 3 Filmare Best Actor awards and was nominated for the same 14 times. He was awarded the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement award in 2005 and IIFA Lifetime Achievement award in 2010.
Rajesh Khanna was India's First Superstar and Phenomenon and this petition has been set up so that he gets the due recognition he deserves for his outstanding contribution and impact to Indian cinema. It is imperative that Rajesh Khanna receives his rightful place at the museum.

Seeing these first 100 people join me in honoring Kaka feels surreal. My father played his songs every single morning and knowing so many others hold him in the same light makes this journey feel real.

Seeing the momentum behind this tribute to the original superstar makes me realize how many lives he truly touched. We need just a few more people to join us to hit our first major milestone and show the museum that his legacy remains unmatched.

Rajesh Khan was one film star who made married woman forget their homes n husband's. They lived him as the first superstar. His humble background n most numerous hits make him worthy to be at Madame Tussauds. Pls do accept our petition
IT SHOULD HAVE DONE MUCH BEFORE BECAUSE HE WAS LITERALLY THE FIRST SUPERSTAR OF INDIAN CINEMA AND NOONE EVEN DARED TO TOUCH HIS UNBREAKABLE RECORD 16consecutive hit movies... Please... We should show our respect to RAJESH KHANNA
He is the only true blue superstar who did not emulate anyone but set his own style of acting. In terms of indescribable fame, he is in top slot till date and had entered into the sub-consciousness of that generation besides being omnipresent everywhere
Rajesh Khanna was and is till date the One and Only Superstar in the history of Hindi Cinema. Not a single Actor/Star whether in Bollywood or Hollywood has made his kind of contribution to Cinema and so his wax statue deserves to be in the Madame Tussads museum
Rajesh Khanna (KAKA) must have his wax statue at Madame Tussaauds. He was not only the 1st. super star of India, nobody had such a spectacular fan following like him. Women used to write love letter to him with their blood, many married to his photo and remained unmarried.
Kaka being the biggest and original SUPERSTAR of Bollywood deserves a wax statue in Madame Tussauds.
