&quot;He was a great actor, truly a superstar no doubt about it. I am honoured to have done playback for him. I have worked for him in several movies and actors like him are a rarity,&quot; said the nonagenarian Dey. <img alt="" src="http://gallery.mid-day.com/plog-content/images/b-town-specials/remembering-rajesh-khanna/rajesh-khanna1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 551px; " /> For Rajesh Khanna, Dey had sung songs &quot;Zindagi kaisi hai paheli&quot; (&quot;Anand&quot;, 1971), &quot;Tum bin jeewan kaisa jeewan&quot; (&quot;Bawarchi&quot;, 1972), &quot;Hansne ki chah ne kitna mujhe&quot; (&quot;Avishkaar&quot;, 1973) and &quot;Gori tori paijaniya&quot; (&quot;Mehbooba&quot;, 1976). &quot;Working with him had been a memorable experience for me. All the songs that I have sung for him have been hits, especially songs from &#39;Anand&#39; and &#39;Bawarchi&#39;. We used to meet at functions. He was a very nice person to talk to and be friends with,&quot; said Dey. &quot;I loved the way he picturised music. The success of a song depends upon how an actor picturises it. He was the number one in picturising songs. I will be ever indebted to him,&quot; said the singer whose song &quot;Zindagi kaisi hai paheli&quot; for Rajesh Khanna in &quot;Anand&quot; has been a memorable hit. Rajesh Khanna passed away Wednesday following prolonged illness. He was 69.u00a0
