Despite his sporadic career, he has a huge fan following among the, particularly among the ladies.

So he started trending when a Twitter user with the handle @clueless_samira wrote to Rahul: "I ask Rahul khanna to marry me! and this is what he replies! #bestdayever man! thank you @R_Khanna" She posted the screenshot where Rahul Khanna reportedly: "Certainly. Is Saturday good for you?" Oh well, who wouldn't want to marry him. Ok it's from 2013, but still.
