Anita Advani reveals untold story of Rajesh Khanna’s final years
Anita Advani claims Khanna’s family abandoned legendary actor
Rajesh Khanna, popularly known as the first superstar of Bollywood, left the world in 2012 after a prolonged illness, but the dispute over his property is still in court.
Recently, Anita Advani, who was rumoured to be in a relationship with the late actor, lashed out at his family and accused them of abandoning him during his difficult time.
In an interview with REEL Meet REAL, the 56-year-old recalled, “Dimple had left him, and for 30 years, he had lost everything. Everyone abandoned him. He was stuck-no divorce, no resolution.”
She further said, “Everything went completely out of control, beyond anyone’s reach, including his own. Yet, the family ended up with his entire property. That in itself is a big story.”
While discussing the legal tug of war, she said, “The earlier order against me holds no weight. Its observations don’t matter. No one can take anything with them after they go. Why cheat like this? Every relationship deserves respect. Karma comes around on its own. No matter how smart you think you are, you can't escape it.”
The legal battle with Khanna’s family is ongoing as Anita continues to challenge the earlier verdicts and fights for her share in the actor’s legacy.
For the unversed, Rajesh married Dimple Kapadia in 1973, and the couple was blessed with two daughters, Twinkle and Rinke, but after nine years of marriage, the duo separated, although they didn’t divorce.
He reportedly lived with Anita for 12 years, and when his health declined, Dimple returned to care for him during his final years.
He passed away on July 18, 2012, at the age of 69, and the dispute over his estate has been going on since then.
