Dimple asks for a special street
Dimple Kapadia requested a Rajesh Khanna Road, in memory of her late husband, who is considered Bollywood's original superstar. Dimple, the estranged wife of Rajesh Khanna, made the request to union Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajeev Shukla, who was present at the unveiling of a statue of the legendary actor here.
“He (Rajesh Khanna) was a Congress man. My request is that a road or a marg be named after him. Also, if Carter Road could be named Rajesh Khanna Road, it would be great,” Dimple said. Rajesh Khanna had witnessed the biggest highs and lows of his life while he stayed at his Carter Road bungalow Aashirwad.
He had also breathed his last at his iconic residence July 18, 2012 due to prolonged illness. Shukla said he will take up the matter of naming a road after the actor, who gave five decades of life to entertaining movie buffs.

The Paranoia actor, who recently joined the microblogging site, admits he has no plans to share details of his personal life via the medium because he wants to maintain his privacy. “On Twitter, I don't share anything personal. I try to keep much of my personal life to myself, and I don't feel the need to go out and show the world what's happening in my life every second,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Hemsworth as saying. “I think it's a good chance to connect with fans in a different way and give fans an inside look on films that you do. But it's very new to me and it scares the hell out of me,” he added.
