Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna’s love story has been one of the leading stories in Bollywood. However, even though their marriage didn’t last long, yet their love story doesn’t fail to give us zillions of love goals. That being said, Dimple Kapadia has now opened up on her first meeting with Rajesh Khanna. Read below to know the scoop.
She said, “We were going to Ahmedabad on a private flight for a function. I was born dramatic. Bachpan se drama ka shauk bohot jyada tha. He sat next to me. I was looking at him. Rajesh Khanna, I mean come on guys, give me a break. I very chalaak-ly told him, ‘Wahan toh bohot crowd hoga, bheed hogi. Aap mera haath pakdoge na? (That place will be very crowded right? Will you hold my hand?)’ He said, ‘Haan bilkul (Yes, why not).’ I replied, ‘Hamesha ke liye? (Forever?)’ And the rest is history. It happened,”
She added, “I think we were two very different kind of people. I was probably very young to understand what was happening to this man, who was a superstar. I have never been able to understand stars and their behaviour pattern at all because I am not one myself. I just couldn’t understand,”
Talking about Bobby and her success, she said, “I see it as a lease of life. After 10 years, that’s the only film that took me where I was in life. Nobody would have given me work otherwise,” as quoted by The Indian Express.
