In an interview, Naseeruddin Shah said that the '70s was the time when mediocrity crept into Hindi films and also when Khanna joined the industry, who according to him was a "poor actor".

Calling Khanna the first and last superstar of his times, the veteran writer Salim Khan yesterday, tweeted, "An actor passed my house and saw a big crowd waiting for Salman. He called me to say he has not seen anything like this before. I told him I have seen bigger crowds outside Rajesh Khanna’s house. He was the first and the last superstar of the millennium. Anyone calling him a mediocre actor should know that no one can reach these heights unless he has something extraordinary to offer," he said.
