Why Rajesh Khanna Death News Was Given Importance?

Bollywood veteran actor Rajesh Khanna died recently. The news was very sad and many of his fans were grieved by his death. In Pakistan almost all the leading news channel of Pakistan aired the news of Rajesh Khanna’s death and showed his biography. For several hours Rajesh Khanna death news was aired in Headlines and in detailed news.

I remember when Dr. Israr Ahmed died in 2010 no channel in Pakistan gave coverage to the death news. Many famous Islamic scholars’ dies but no channels cover this news like Rajesh Khanna’s death news.

It would have been better if these channels maintain the balance in all the news. The one question which is also in my mind is that when any Paksitan artist dies than Indian channels also airs news for several hours?
