Rajesh Khanna he was 31 years old when he married the youngest, 16 years old Dimple Kapadia In 1973. She stopped acting after marriage although she had a big hit as ‘Bobby’ as her debut. After having two daughters, Twinkle and Rinke Khanna, the couple separated. However, they are not officially divorced. She moved out of her house in 1982 and lived separately until her death. Before his death, Rajesh Khanna lived with his friend Anita Advani who filed a complaint in the Bombay High Court to find out about his relationship with her. However, on April 1, 2026, the Bombay High Court rejected Anita Advani’s appeal to declare her relationship with the deceased a valid marriage. The court found that the relationship had the “character of a permanent relationship,” which did not meet the criteria for a valid marriage under the Hindu Marriage Act.Now in a recent interview, Advani has spoken about his story and his relationship with Khanna. She also said that Rajesh Khanna asked Dimple for divorce many times, but she refused to give it. Anita said in an interview with Meri Saheli, “Mera case hai woh Hindu Marriage Law pe chala gaya hai jisse mera lena dena nahi hai Yahan se civil mein bhej diya.” Yeh joh law banaa hai, ‘relationship in the nature of marriage’ usmein cohabitant bhi aati hai, sister bhi aati hai, mother bhi aati hai’ (“My case was handled under the Hindu Marriage Act, which is not relevant to my case. From there, it was transferred to the civil court because the state laws are different. I wanted to be recognized as a ‘relationship in the culture of marriage,’ but they said I was not a woman. The law that recognizes ‘relationship in the nature of marriage’ includes not only spouses, but also sister and mother). He added, “Koi kehta hai relationship sahi hai aur agar kisi ki wife ho aur woh uske saath reh rahe ho toh aap kisi aur ke saath relationship nahi banaa sakte. Lekin aap chale gaye ghar chhodke, aapka saalon tak rishta nai hai, uske baad koi aata hai u.” One who takes part in politics. Naa toh woh saath reh rahe the aur naahi divorce kar rahe the. Divorce kitna maanga, nahi diya. Ab woh kahin ka na rahe. Aur maang itni thi ke divorce dena bhi hai toh sab kuch hamare naam kardo. (Some people say that the relationship was legal, and if one is still legally married and living with one’s spouse, one cannot have a relationship with another. But what if the spouse has left home and has not been in a relationship for years? Then someone new comes into the person’s life. That person can be completely destroyed because they are left without a valid license. They were not living together or divorced. He asked for a divorce many times, but it was not granted. In the end, he was left in limbo. And the demand was that if they would allow a divorce, everything should be transferred in their name).” Anita also said that Rajesh Khanna had earlier said in an interview that Dimple is not divorcing him. Bola bhi tha interview mein ke main divorce dena chaahta hu, kitni baar bola hai par woh dete nahi hai. Who is my wife, what is the truth? My wife and I love him very much.. Divorce 10 baar maanga magar nahi diya, unki maang itni thi ke agar divorce dena hai toh sab kuch hamare naam kardo. Uski wife thi toh isiliye tumhare saath relationship nai ho raha. Woh akela ho gaya aur apni life woh de raha hai, he was not an easy person but unka koi saath aur agar unka koi saath de raha hai toh law banaa kyun hai? I love you so much. (He also said in the interview that he wanted a divorce. He said it many times, but he would not give it. What kind of wife and children are supposed to live together – otherwise, why do they destroy the house? But here they were living separately. There was nothing like husband and wife between them. He asked for a divorce at least ten times, but it was not granted. the wife, they continued to say friendship. I could not recognize him. He finished alone and was just trying to live his life he was not an easy person, but if someone chose to stand with him, then why is the law there if not to protect such friendship?
