Actress Dimple Kapadia married Rajesh Khanna after 16 years alone. After a few years of marriage, Dimple and Rajesh Khanna broke up and the two began living separately, although they never divorced. In an interview, Ella Dimple recounted an anecdote that happened during the filming of the movie Jai Shiv Shankar (1990).
In reality, Dimple had tried to give Rajesh Khanna some advice that he didn’t like and scolded him. Dimple had said in an interview: It was a lot of fun working with Kaká on the film. The film was completed very well, but there were financial problems. At one point Kaká’s health was not good and the shooting continued.
He had to go out on the balcony and greet the media by shaking hands. I gave him my shawl and sunglasses and told him affectionately, Kakaji, when you go out don’t look straight ahead, your side profile looks better. He looked at me and said angrily, “Will you teach me now?” I was so scared that I apologized to him with folded hands. In this interview, Dimple expressed his regret that after the marriage he did not have many opportunities to work with Rajesh Khanna because he did not want Dimple to work in movies after the marriage.
Dimple was supposed to work with her in the movie Roti, but her role was given to Mumtaz. Similarly, Sin and Virtue were offered to Sharmila Tagore instead. Ella dimple made her debut in 1973 with the film Bobby in which she was seen opposite Rishi Kapoor. In the same year, she married Rajesh Khanna.
