The love life of Bollywood’s first superstar Rajesh Khanna was always a topic of discussion. As much as the actor remained in the headlines for his films, his relationships also went viral. It can be said that his love life was no less than a film script. Although Rajesh Khanna was married to Dimple Kapadia, one chapter that still attracts attention is his relationship with actress Anju Mahendru. And when Dimple Kapadia entered this matter, how things got strange.
According to a News18 report, Rajesh Khanna met Anju Mahendru in 1966, soon after he won a talent contest. As he rose to fame, Anju supported him, even managing his house ‘Aashirwad’. Some say she gifted it to him. But as Rajesh became a superstar, he became possessive. He reportedly interfered in Anju’s career. Rajesh disliked Anju’s focus on work. Though Rajesh proposed in 1971, Anju refused and chose her career instead. This decision created a rift in their relationship and brought a major twist.
Meanwhile, there was news that Anju Mahendru was getting close to West Indies cricketer Gary Sobers, so her distance from Rajesh Khanna kept increasing. Anju met Gary through a mutual friend and Gary also proposed to her. Anju also accepted her relationship with him, which increased the tension in her relationship with Rajesh.
After breaking up with Anju Mahendru, love came back into Rajesh Khanna’s life and this time it was Dimple Kapadia. Dimple was half Rajesh Khanna’s age at that time. Dimple Kapadia fell in love with Rajesh Khanna at the age of just 15.
