'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?

Meanwhile, check out other instances of actors who couldn't marry their sweethearts...
