Throwback: When Birthday girl Dimple Kapadia said Rajesh Khanna has been misunderstood


One of our finest actresses Dimple Kapadia turns a year older today. Right from Bobby to Luck By Chance… the actress continues to romance the big screen with her presence and interesting roles. She entered the silver screen with Bobby (1973) and made the nation swoon for her because of her charming good looks and vivacious screen presence. Big things were predicted for her but she chose to marry the reigning superstar Rajesh Khanna and took a break from stardom for several years.

Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia’s marriage became the talk of the town back then and made it to the national headlines. But very soon their marriage hit a speed breaker. However Dimple Kapadia never spoke ill about her husband. Even in her interview in 2017, Dimple Kapadia fondly remembered her husband. In an interview to a publication in 2017, she said, “Kaka (Rajesh Khanna) has been consistently misunderstood. He’s a wonderful guy. I was far too young and impetuous when we married. We may have separated, but I still have tremendous regard and love for him. So don’t you dare try to extract any nasty statements from me. Kaka’s superstardom had to be experienced to be believed."

Dimple Kapadia was last seen in Christopher Nolan’s Hollywood flick Tenet. The actress had a pivotal role to play in this Hollywood film and as her daughter Twinkle Khanna said, she didn’t even tom-tom about this big news and a landmark role in her career. Well that’s the beauty of Dimple Kapadia, she always lets her performances speak for her. Whether it was teenage romance in Bobby, a girl stuck between love and friendship in Saagar, a woman with a complex life in Rudaali, a much older woman in love with a younger man in Dil Chahta Hai or be the star mother in Luck By Chance – Dimple always manages to charm us on the big screen. Here’s wishing the evergreen beauty a very Happy Birthday.
