Bollywood's beloved 'Kaka' Rajesh Khanna, who has not been keeping well, is now more than fine, his family told.

"He's more than fine. He is absolutely fine. Thank you for your concern," Rajesh Khanna's son-in-law, actor Akshay Kumar said journalists outside Khanna's bungalow Ashirwad in Bandra here.

Akshay's comment came after the 69-year-old veteran's manager Ashwin said that the actor had stopped food intake for the "last three or four days".

Worried fans lined up outside his house, and India's first superstar Rajesh Khanna gladly obliged by waving to them and showing them the 'V' for victory sign from the balcony of his house. He was dressed in a crisp white kurta, a stole and dark shades.

With a heavily bearded look, he appeared weak, but seemed to be in high spirits as he sported the same smile which in his heydays made millions of his female fans’ hearts skips a beat.

He was accompanied by his estranged wife Dimple Kapadia, who takes regular care of him these days, as well as Akshay, who is wedded to his elder daughter Twinkle.

While Twinkle is expecting her second baby, her younger sister Rinke has flown down to Mumbai to be with her ailing father.

The actor began his career with "Aakhri Khat" in 1966. He became a popular name with his work in movies like "Raaz", "Do Raaste" and "Aradhana" and was crowned "superstar" after he delivered 15 consecutive solo super hits.

In April, he was admitted to a hospital due to a brief health scare.

He freshly featured in a TV commercial for Havell's fan.

All's not well with Hindi filmdom's original megastar Rajesh Khanna. The actor, freshly seen in a TV ad, has stopped intake of food the past few days, while his separated wife Dimple Kapadia is taking care of him.

"Rajeshji is in poor health. He has stopped having food since the last three or four days," the 60-year-old's manager Ashwin said.

"He is not able to have his food. Khaana muh pe nahi jaa raha hai (The food is not going into his mouth)," he added, but didn't confirm if the actor will be admitted to a hospital soon.

Commonly known as 'Kaka', Rajesh Khanna went through a health scare in April too. He was hospitalized following uneasiness back then.

His present ill health brought his younger daughter Rinke to Mumbai Wednesday morning.

"Rinke and her mother Dimple Kapadia are by his side and taking care of him," told Ashwin.

Dimple and Rajesh Khanna's elder daughter Twinkle is expecting her second baby with Bollywood star Akshay Kumar.

Rajesh Khanna, touted as Hindi cinema's "first superstar", began his acting career with "Aakhri Khat" in 1966 and rose to prominence with his performances in movies like "Raaz", "Do Raaste" and "Aradhana".

He earned his title following 15 consecutive solo super hits between 1969 to 1972.

Of late, he was seen in a TV commercial for Havell's fan. The campaign was directed by R. Balki.
