There are some love stories that people neither forget nor can forget. There is a story of Bollywoods first superstar and his wife. Be it their marriage or affair everything was in the headlines. But the two had so much bitterness that they had to separate. But they never divorced. They are none other than Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia between whom there is a considerable age gap and their love story has also been very interesting. Let us tell you.
Rajesh Khanna is no longer in this world. He died on 18 July 2012 due to cancer. Actress Anita Advani who was in a relationship with Kaka said in an interview that Rajesh Khanna had sensed his death a long time ago. He had become quiet a year ago. He used to cry too.
Now lets come to the marriage of Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna. The two first met at Navrangpura Sports Club in Ahmedabad. By then Kaka had become Bollywoods first superstar but Dimple had not made her acting debut. The actor had come to that event as the chief guest. Here his eyes fell on Dimple and he was simply drawn towards her. This is where their love story began.
It is said that Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna dated each other for 3 years before marriage and then decided to get married. You will be surprised to know that when Dimple Kapadia got married she was 16 years old. Both of them got married in the year 1973. Six months after marriage Dimple Kapadia made her debut with Rishi Kapoors Bobby.
After marriage Dimple Kapadia took a break for some time. She put her career at stake for many years to raise her children. But the actress never regretted it. She says that she was with her children and it was the best moment. When sour news started coming with Kaka and they separated Dimple Kapadia made a comeback. She made a comeback in 1984 with Rishi Kapoors Saagar.
Dimple became a mother after one and a half years of marriage and gave birth to Twinkle Khanna. Then they had another daughter who was named Rinke Khanna. Dimple took a break and took care of the house and children. But even then bitterness was slowly spreading in her relationship with Kaka.
Dimple Kapadia was devastated when she heard about Rajesh Khannas extra-marital affair. Rajesh Khanna started getting close to his own co-star. Both of them used to go together for outdoor shooting and some reports claimed that they also started living in a live-in relationship. Then Anita Advani also came into Rajesh Khannas life. She has talked about living in a live-in relationship with Rajesh Khanna many times. In an interview Anita claimed that she lived in a live-in relationship with Kaka for about 8 years until his death and also took care of him.
Dimple Kapadia left her husbands house after 11 years of marriage and stayed away from him for 27 years. But when Rajesh Khanna fell ill she returned to him. In 2012 when Kaka breathed his last she was with him. The two never got divorced.
