Dimple Kapadia on Rajesh Khanna

Dimple Kapadia, now 66, reflected on her youthful naivety during her marriage to Bollywood superstar Rajesh Khanna in a recent interview. She humorously recounted her belief that he would serenade her with 'Mere Sapno Ki Rani' in the mountains, a fantasy deeply influenced by her cinematic upbringing. Upon realizing that her romantic expectations did not align with reality, she expressed feeling disappointed and 'shattered' by the experience. Kapadia married Khanna in 1973, and despite their separation eight years later, they never divorced and share two daughters, Twinkle and Rinke. In her candid talk at the FICCI FLO Jaipur Chapter, she described her role as 'Mrs. Rajesh Khanna' as her most fulfilling. This reflection highlights the impact of film culture on her early perceptions of love and marriage.
