According to the Lafange actress, it was not right for Rajesh to leave a partner like Anju.
“Upar aaka aala kaka” – this quote was synonymous with Rajesh Khanna aka Kaka, the first superstar of Indian cinema. Rajesh made his acting debut with the film Aakhri Khat, and remained the undisputed king of Hindi cinema, with an unbroken record of 15 solo hits from 1969 to 1971. The immensely talented actor shared a great rapport with all his leading ladies but his pairing with actress Mumtaz was loved the most. Prior to Mumtaz, Rajesh had a stable relationship with actress Anju Mahendru for 10 years, but broke up after that. In an exclusive interview with E Times, Mumtaz revealed that she was traumatized by their breakup and felt that Kaka should not have broken up with her.
According to Mumtaz, Anju left no stone unturned to look after Rajesh Khanna. She said that Anju really takes care of her and even takes great care of her food. The Aag Aur Toofan actress took a walk down memory lane and recalled that Mayur (Mumtaz’s husband and businessman, Mayur Madhvani) and she used to visit Rajesh Khanna and have dinner and drinks with both of them (Anju and Rajesh) .
Mumtaz told the portal that she could not even imagine in her wildest dreams that Rajesh and Anu would separate. “How can you end a relationship with someone like that in just one day?” Mumtaz said. According to the Lafangey actress, it was not right for Rajesh to leave a partner like Anju like this. He said that if people are not getting along with someone, then they should call that person, sit with him and inform him about his decision.
As stated in an interview with a leading portal, Mumtaz said that after separating from Anju, Rajesh married Dimple Kapadia, who is younger to him. According to Mumtaz, Kaka fell in love with Dimple’s beauty and proposed to her. Dimple, who was one of Rajesh’s biggest fans, was overwhelmed with emotions upon receiving the offer and didn’t think twice before accepting it. She was just 16 years old at that time and tied the knot with Rajesh, who was 15 years elder to her.
