Bollywood has witnessed many couples making their way through thick and thin. However many even part ways and then there are those whose weddings come as a shocker for many. Today we will discuss about India’s first superstars wedding which was none other than Rajesh Khanna. Fondly called as Kaka Rajesh Khanna had his own fan following among people. It was not only his female fans who wanted to marry him; there were plenty of actresses as well who thought of tying the knot with the actor. However fate had something else planned for him and Khanna in the end got married to Dimple Kapadia. Their wedding was controversial mainly because of the age gap. And after nine years of marriage the duo separated. However let us tell you that Dimple was not the only girl in Rajeshs life. Actress Anju Mahendru and Khannas love story was a significant chapter in Bollywood history lasting from 1966 to 1972. During this time the duo lived together. While initially both the actors were deeply in love it was later that their relationship faced major challenges leading to separation. Anjus close friend and veteran actress Mumtaz gave her opinion on Rajeshs relationship with Dimple. She said that firstly she was never linked with Khanna. She said that she ‘missed the boat’ because he was in love with her friend Anju. In an interview Mumtaz said that Anju had no idea about Khanna taking the step to get married to 16-year-old Dimple. Not just that till date Anju remains fond of Khanna. Mumtaz in an interview with Vickey Lalwani said “I wish I was involved with him but I wasn’t. I missed the boat I’d say. I’ve denied this a 1000 times but if people keep insisting that there was something between us all I can do is say ‘I wish…’” She added “Anju was a very good host. When I got married my husband and I would go to their house and they’d be very generous as hosts. They’d drink Kaka would drink… I knew that they loved each other very much. In fact I was surprised when I learnt that he’d left her and gotten married (to Dimple Kapadia). I didn’t expect it at all. She emphasised that if today Rajesh had been alive he would have stayed with Anju. Mumtaz said Even today I’d say that Kaka might have still been alive had he stayed with Anju. She looked after him like he was a flower. Even when he was ill she always used to be in the bungalow. She always used to look after him—his food his ‘dawai-daaru’. She was a wonderful person. But you can’t escape destiny. Revealing about Anjus condition when Kaka decided to marry Dimple Mumtaz said “I asked her and she said ‘I don’t know. I was at a party and the next thing I know is that he had decided to get married’. She’s a proud woman she’s very happy. It didn’t bother her that her boyfriend of so many years had left her. She didn’t want to mope over him. She must’ve been hurt of course but it wasn’t like she was howling in grief.”
