In a recent viral video, veteran Bollywood actor Rajesh Khanna addressed questions about his marriage with actress Dimple Kapadia. The iconic ‘Anand’ star, speaking to a reporter, responded to queries about the possibility of reconciliation with his ex-wife.
Khanna, reflecting on their relationship, stated, “Re-unite means what? We are not yet divorced. We live separately but she has refused to give me divorce.” He expressed bewilderment over Dimple’s reluctance to grant a divorce, emphasizing that it was her decision. Khanna suggested directing inquiries to Dimple herself, hinting at a future visit to Vancouver.
Dimple Kapadia, who married Khanna at the age of 16 while he was 31, previously commented on their marriage, expressing regret over its impact on her career. She cited youth and lack of understanding regarding the significance of her breakthrough film ‘Bobby.’ Reports suggest that Khanna imposed a ban on Dimple’s acting following their marriage.
The couple, whose union commenced in March 1973, has since lived separately, with the status of their relationship remaining unresolved.
