The madness of Bollywood’s first superstar Rajesh Khanna was not hidden from anyone. The crowd of his fans was so uncontrollable that people worshiped him like a god. People even associated his car parked outside his house with luck. Amidst this glitter and stardom, a special name came into Kaka’s life, actress Anju Mahendru.
The closeness of both was not hidden from anyone in the industry, but with time this relationship broke. Suddenly circumstances changed and new decisions changed the direction of Kaka’s life, and an incomplete love remained limited in memories. Today Anju Mahendru is celebrating her birthday. On this occasion, let us know about their love story.
Who is Anju Mahendru?
Rajesh Khanna is considered the first superstar of the Hindi film industry. It is said about Anju Mahendru that she started working in films at the young age of 13 years. She was a model and wanted to become a heroine in films, she did side roles in many films and also worked in many serials.
Both should be in live-in relationship.
In the 60s, when Rajesh Khanna was struggling to make his name in Bollywood, Anju was also a struggler. Both of them met. Both were struggling to make their careers and at that time both had decided to be in a live-in relationship. After the flop of many films, a day came when Rajesh’s film ‘Aradhana’ gave him star status overnight. He became the heartthrob of young hearts and the first choice of directors.

This is how the rift in the relationship came about
It is said that Rajesh wanted Anju to be with him always. Even during the shooting, he wanted to see her with him. Many times, if Anju was not with him, there would be arguments between them. Gradually Anju started disliking these things of Rajesh because she wanted to establish herself as a successful actress but Rajesh did not want this. On one hand, there was a rift in the relationship between Anju and Rajesh, while on the other hand, Rajesh Khanna’s films also started flopping at the box office. Rajesh Khanna’s nature started changing due to flop of films. Due to his anger it became difficult for Anju to live with him.
Married Dimple within a few days
When he met Dimple, Rajesh Khanna was a superstar at that time and Dimple had also made a very successful entry in Bollywood. In such a situation, Rajesh Khanna fell in love with Dimple Kapadia the first time she met her. Discussions about the closeness of Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna started appearing everywhere. Ultimately Anju left Rajesh. It is said that when Anju ended her relationship with Rajesh, he immediately asked Dimple for marriage. Dimple could not say no to him and married Rajesh Khanna, who was 15 years older than her, within just a few days.

Anju had taken the superstar with the wedding procession from below the house.
Rajesh was still not able to forget Anju but he decided to get married. Rajesh did not send Anju an invitation for his wedding, but in the end, he took out his wedding procession from the same road on which Anju’s house was and Rajesh’s wedding procession passed from below the same house where he and Anju used to live together.
