Akshay Kumar happy with Rajesh Khanna’s dignified funeral!

Bollywood’s first superstar Rajesh Khanna, who ruled the Indian filmmaking industry in the 1960s and 70s, passed away in Mumbai on July 18 after a long illness, leaving millions of his fans in sorrow. However, his actor son-in-law Akshay Kumar is happy with the dignified funeral he got since he believes he truly deserved it.

The 69-year-old actor Khanna had a lever infection for the last many years but he lost his battle last Wednesday and the news of his death caused frenzy all over the country.

Almost all of his friends, fans, family members and the film fraternity gathered up in huge numbers to pay their last respect to the legend at his funeral on Thursday and Akshay has revealed that he was pretty delighted to see his father-in-law’s farewell.

While speaking on his inclusion, Akshay, who is married to Rajesh Khanna’s elder daughter Twinkle Khanna, stated he always wanted to witness his father-in-law’s superstardom in his hey days but he couldn’t see it.

“I always wanted to witness my father-in-law’s superstar stardom during his hey days. Thanks to you all, I did, giving him a dignified funeral that he deserved. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers,” tweeted Akshay.

“Thank you everyone for your kindness and sympathy during our time of loss. Your thoughtfulness at this time of great sorrow is truly a comfort. Knowing you all are here helps,” Akshay tweeted for all the fans, who expressed support and sympathy to the family.

Khanna’s house will most likely be made a museum now because Anita Advani, who claims to be his live-in partner from the past eight years, has clarified she is not interested in Khanna’s property at all.

During a recent interview she said, “I want Aashirwad to be made a museum. The allegations against me are wrong; I have no greed or interest in this property. This property should go to the people of the country and be made a museum.”
