Khanna, 69, died today at his 'Aashirwad' home on Carter Road in Bandra.
Veteran actress Saira Banu, who missed a chance of working with Khanna during his stardom days, remembers the actor as a very "shy" person.
"I was supposed to work with him in 'Choti Bahu' but I could not because I was ill. I shot with him for two days and found that he was very charming, humble and a shy person. May his soul rest in peace," Banu said.
His contemporary Manoj Kumar said he was planning to meet Khanna.
"I had called Dimple but she told me not to come as Rajesh Khanna was not in a position to talk...I miss him a lot and I have shared some of the best memories with him," Kumar said.
Filmmaker Subhash Ghai said, "He was the powerhouse of Hindi film industry. I met him on the sets of aaradhna, he had some kind of energy and you will be charged when he is around you. His name will be written in golden words."
