Veteran actor Raza Murad has recently addressed and dismissed a long-standing rumor involving himself late superstar Rajesh Khanna and actress Dimple Kapadia. The speculation suggested that Khanna had slapped Murad upon seeing him with Kapadia at Film City. What Raza Murad Said About The Incident? In a candid conversation on the podcast The Filmy Charcha Murad clarified that such an incident never occurred. He stated Neither I ever went to Film City with Dimple nor such a situation ever happened and never have Dimple Kapadia Rajesh Khanna and I ever been in the same spot together. We used to shoot separately with Kakaji (Khanna) and Dimple. This baseless rumour didn’t have even 1% truth in it. It was a 100% lie. Murad further recounted that the rumor originated from an article in a film newspaper called Urvashi which claimed that he and Kapadia arrived at Film City together leading to an altercation with Khanna. He emphasized that this narrative was entirely fabricated. ‘I Didn’t Even Make A Mention To Them’ Reflecting on the impact of such rumors Murad mentioned encountering the journalist who penned the article at a film party. Despite his anger he chose not to confront the individual publicly stating I didn’t even make a mention of that to them. I just met them like the way I always did. Because when you’re at someone’s party you don’t have the right to ruin that. He further said “It was possible I’d have entered into an argument or even a brawl with them since they made such a damaging allegation towards me. But since it was someone else’s party there shouldn’t be any bitterness or misbehaviour there. So I remained completely normal. For the unversed Murad and Kapadia have collaborated on several films including Janbaaz (1986) Aag Ka Gola (1989) and Gunaah (1993). Similarly Murad and Khanna shared screen space in movies like Namak Haraam (1973) and Riyasat (2014).
