When rajesh khanna Declined Rs 3.5 Cr Per episode To Host Bigg Boss:

The dramatic fall of superstar rajesh khanna from his film industry throne is the stuff of legend. Once the king of Bollywood, Kaka, as he was fondly called, saw his reign crumble as audiences flocked to amitabh bachchan and action-packed movies, leaving his drama-heavy roles in the dust.
A 2012 Rediff article revealed a memorable moment when journalist ali Peter john recounted how Khanna scoffed at being offered a spot on bigg boss during his career’s lowest point.
Ali Peter john recalled, “Once, the makers of bigg boss called me to fix a meeting with him; they wanted him in the bigg boss house. But he said, “Nahin, nahin, rajesh khanna aise show thodi karega (Rajesh Khanna won’t work in such shows).” Colors was reportedly willing to offer the actor a whopping Rs 3.5 crore for every episode. He added, "I tried to convince him but he said no. The cast told me that they were willing to pay him Rs 3.5 crore for every episode that appeared but said he didn't. A few days later he called me and said he wanted to do the show, but by then Colors had lost interest."

His negative comments drove the producers away. His ex-girlfriend dimple kapadia has spoken openly about his fallout, while others of his age have spoken out about his behavior on set. dimple kapadia and rajesh khanna had a tumultuous relationship and after 9 years of marriage with two daughters, Twinkle and Rinke, they decided to separate. Although they did not officially separate, their breakup was widely publicized, especially when Dimple returned to acting with success in the 1980s. In the 1990s he decided to contest the lok sabha elections.
Rajesh Khanna recalls how his career took a major downturn and revealed that he admitted to drinking heavily. One particularly bad night, he says, "Later, I started to slip, and I threw the bottle. I mean I'm not a wonderful person. You are not Jesus Christ and I am not mahatma Gandhi. "I remember one time at three in the morning when I was really strong, and then my stomach was full because it was my first taste of nothing."
