Well-known filmmaker Manmohan Desai turns 28 after his death on March 2. He was engaged to the famous actress of his time, Nanda, but both could not marry, behind which lies a painful reason. Nanda’s brother Jayaprakash Vinayak has shared some things about Nanda and Manmohan Desai’s love story in an interview. He recounted how Nanda, who had worked on movies like Choti Behen, Dhool Ka Phool, Kala Bazar, Kanoon, Hum Doon, Jab Jab Phool Khile, Gumnaam, Ittefaq, approached filmmaker Manmohan Desai in the 1980s.
Jayaprakash Vinayak said that after a relationship of about 12 years, the two became engaged in 1992, but two years later, in 1994, Manmohan Desai died suddenly after falling from the apartment balcony. Nanda was deeply shocked by his death and after that she was left alone. She did not marry either party. Nanda also died of a heart attack in 2014, 10 years after Manmohan Desai’s death, thus ending her love story tragically.
Jayaprakash Vinayak further said that Manmohan Desai was married and that his son had helped his father move forward with his relationship with Nanda. In this he took the help of Waheeda Rehman. Waheeda ji hosted a dinner at his house. After dinner, Nanda and Manmohan Desai were left alone.
During this, Manmohan Desai, sharing his feelings with Nanda, proposed to her. Nanda told them that she would talk to her family about this, they both wanted to have a traditional wedding but this wish was not fulfilled. Nanda wore white clothes after Desai’s death and stopped seeing anyone.
