Do you know what hurts more than break-up? Break up or divorce your favorite celebrity couple. The same pain, admirers of Rajesh Khanna felt when he announced his separation from his wife Dimple Kapadia. The couple who carved sizzling couple goals when they tied knots, never publicly revealed the reason behind their divorce at that time. But later dropped some bombs on their admirers. Even after losing their will of working on their marriage, the couple decided to live together for the very good of their two kids, Rinkie Khanna and Twinkle Khanna.
Rajesh Khanna first saw Dimple on the set of the movie Bobby and fell head over heels in love with her. But at that time, she was dating her co-star Rishi Kapoor. However, Rishi and Dimple soon broke and picked up the chance Rajesh proposed to her.
Dimple has always been a die-hard fan of Rajesh Khanna and this love of Dimple forced her to say yes to Rajesh. Soon the couple made their relationship official and invited some trolls because of their age difference. Dimple, who was 16 years old was 15 years younger than her husband Rajesh Khanna. However, the age difference never bothered the two actors. They tied the knot in March 1973.
The couple was living a happy life until the stardom of Rajesh Khanna started fading away. The era of the 70s and 80s saw Rajesh failing miserably at the box office. And this failure pushed him into the mud of alcoholism.
Though Dimple was always by his side, Rajesh found his relief in Bollywood actress, Tina Munim. In an interview, he also admitted that he married Dimple Kapadia to heal from his past breakup and then also had an affair with Tina Munim. He said, "I married Dimple on the rebound and Tina was a balm on my wounds."
This brought Dimple and Rajesh Khanna's relationship to an end. Sometime later the actress also admitted that it was a wrong decision to marry the superstar.
Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna never completed the divorce proceedings as they thought it would have a bad impact on their daughters.
In an interview, the superstar accepted that he is still in love with his wife Dimple. Dimple, too shared that Rajesh Khanna will always hold a special place in her heart as he is the father of her children.
