The demise of Bollywood veteran Rajesh Khanna has sent shock waves in Kollywood. Top stars Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have expressed condolence to the popular actor's death.

In his message, Rajini said, "my heart felt condolences to the legendary star Rajesh Khanna. I pray the Almighty that his soul may rest in peace".

Kamal said, "Rajesh Khannaji, I knew him as an Indian probably world star. As an up and coming actor and he was already a superstar, he had the kindness to be my friend and admired what little talent of mine".

"He had acted in some of my films which were remade in Hindi. I still remember the time spent with him very well. He would give me advices. Rajesh Khanna is one of a kind I think very few actors in the future would be able to enjoy the praise which RK had. I wish the bereaved family and friends console themselves with time".

Rajesh Khanna died in Mumbai on Wednesday due to liver infection. "He had liver infection….he had liver problem. He had stopped eating food…as he couldn’t eat anything. During the last stage of his life, he was on liquid like juice," Vijay Zaveri, a close friend of the actor said.
