My pleasure! Kusum’s ability to understand that her various roles didn’t define the person that she really was helped her navigate life after losing her husband with the same grace and dignity that she had always shown in her interactions with others. My father always encouraged her to be her own person and post-retirement spent time helping her to further her artist career and aspirations.

Kusum’s quest to express herself creatively, carve out her own identity, and claim her voice at a time when her peers settled for the anonymity of being a spouse, is inspiring. Equally inspiring that her husband understood her quest and supported her. Thanks for sharing

Thank you Sanjay and Raji for your kind words. Until one has met Rajesh Khanna in person, one wouldn’t realize what a truly charismatic human being he was.
