Now, Rajesh Khanna in a romantic role

Now, Rajesh Khanna in a romantic role Veteran actor Rajesh Khanna is acting in a movie about romance between a 60-yr-old man and a 25-yr-old girl. The film, titled 'Wafaa', is being directed by Rakesh Sawant (Rakhi Sawant's brother) and has south Indian actress Laila cast opposite Rajesh Khanna. Though the film's story seems pretty similar to Ram Gopal Varma's 'Nishabd' (with Amitabh Bachchan in the lead), the movie's director insists that similarities are superficial. Sawant reveals that 'Wafaa' is the story of an old man who marries a young girl. The film has Rajesh Khanna playing a rich businessman. Laila plays the young girl who marries him but then has extramarital affair with another man, a younger one. The film is a crime thriller with a shocking twist in the end. 'Wafaa' will also have some intimate scenes. But such scenes don't feature Rajesh Khanna. They have been shot on Laila and her young co-star. The film also has an item song shot on Kainaaz.

'Rajesh Khanna was an orthodox' - (TImes of India)

Much has been said and written about Rajesh Khanna's illustrious life and a career spanning over five decades. His fondness for women and the not-so-clandestine love stories have also made headlines every now and then. And one such love story that kept us wondering as to what went wrong was that of his alleged affair with Anju Mahendru. Apparently the two were in a relationship for about seven years before Rajesh Khanna married Dimple Kapadia, leaving Anju wondering as to what had gone wrong. According to reports, the two started seeing each other during their struggling days. In the early days of their relationship, Anju reportedly supported his dreams like a devoted girlfriend. Rajesh, too, cared for her and reportedly lavished his affection and earnings upon her. Once the actor became super successful he charmed and convinced Anju into putting aside her career for him. The madly-in-love starlet obliged and soon she officially became Rajesh Khanna's girlfriend. However, it was apparently their diverse personalities that caused a rift between the two. In an interview, Anju was quoted as saying that Rajesh was a very orthodox man, and yet somehow, he was always attracted to ultra-modern girls. She added that confusion was a part of their relationship and explained it by citing the example that if she wore a skirt, he'd snap, and ask her as to why hadn't she worn a sari and if she wore a sari, he'd question her as to why was she trying to project a Bhartiya nari look?
