Rajesh Khanna, the inaugural superstar of India, experienced an unparalleled level of craze that continues to stand unmatched. The era spanning from 1969 to 1974 saw him reigning as the undisputed superstar of not only Hindi cinema but the entire Indian film industry.
Rajesh Khanna’s life stories and career are still talked about today due to his immense popularity.However, not all stories are pleasant. One such instance is his rivalry with fellow actor Sanjeev Kumar, which ended with Rajesh Khanna slapping him.
The misunderstanding between Rajesh Khanna and his ex-girlfriend Anju Manhendru sparked the feud. They reportedly lived together from 1966 to 1972 but split when Anju turned down Rajesh Khanna’s marriage proposal repeatedly. Shortly after their breakup, tabloids speculated about Anju’s romantic involvement with Sanjeev Kumar. This gossip created turmoil in the actress’ life, especially since Rajesh Khanna, her former partner, was reportedly dissatisfied with the news.
Anju’s mother regarded Sanjeev Kumar as her brother and would insist to tie a Rakhi on his wrist. Therefore, when rumors about Anju’s alleged affair with Sanjeev Kumar emerged, it deeply disturbed her.
A few years back, in a film where Rajesh Khanna and Sanjeev Kumar shared screen space, there was a scene where Khanna had to slap Sanjeev. Holding onto his grudge, Rajesh Khanna opted not to fake the slap and instead delivered a real one to Sanjeev Kumar.
Anju Mahendru and Rajesh Khanna began speaking again in 1988 and stayed friends until Rajesh Khanna passed away.
Later, Khanna married actress Dimple Kapadia, who was 15 years old at the time, in March 1973, just before Kapadia’s debut film ‘Bobby’ was released in September of the same year. Khanna and Kapadia have two daughters from their marriage – Twinkle and Rinke. Although Khanna and Kapadia separated in 1982, they never finalised their divorce proceedings.
