Rajendra Kumar was the real villain

Rajendra never allowed Vijayta and Kumar Gaurav to work together after this one film. Regarding this, Vijayta Pandit herself had told in the podcast of Waves Retro that Rajendra Kumar had ruined her career. Vijayata told that, ‘All the films in which Bunty (Kumar Gaurav) worked were of romantic genre. Ramanand Sagar ji had called me for his film ‘Romance’ and said that my film is being made, I am making a love story film only. I want you to work in this, so I said uncle, I will work.

was thrown out of the movies

Further Vijayata tells that she had to work, hence she said yes but Rajendra Kumar refused saying that his son would not work with Vijayata. She said, ‘I was the heroine in all the films like ‘Lovers’, ‘Romance’, ‘Teri Kasam’. We also shot a film named ‘Raahi’, Rajendra ji got me out of every film after that. He was the main person who did not allow me to work with Bunty (Kumar Gaurav).

‘Heroine does not make a picture a hit’

Not only this, when many producers used to tell him that ‘Sir, Vijayata and Bunty have to be taken together, their affair is a hit’. So he used to say that ‘The heroine does not make the picture a hit, the hero makes it a hit’. So during every film, he used to take the name of some other heroine in place of Vijayata and the film would go out of Vijayata’s hands. Let us tell you that the affair of Kumar Gaurav and Vijayata Pandit was much discussed at that time. But amidst the affair, Kumar Gaurav got engaged to Raj Kapoor’s daughter Reema Kapoor. However, this engagement was also broken and Kumar Gaurav married Sanjay Dutt’s sister Namrata Dutt.

Whereas Vijayata Pandit married famous singer and music producer Aadesh Srivastava in the year 1990. But in the year 2015, Aadesh said goodbye to the world at the age of just 51 while fighting a battle with cancer. Aadesh and Vijayata also have two sons.

There is one Bollywood actress who became a star as soon as she arrived. In 1981, she made her debut with the film Love Story and became famous overnight.

Relationship ruined career

During the shooting of Love Story, Vijayata and Kumar Gaurav fell in love with each other, but Rajendra Kumar did not like this relationship at all. He feared that this was diverting his son’s attention from his career. In an interview given to Leharen Retro, Vijayata had told that ,Rajendra Kumar used to scold Bunty and ask him to focus on work. You don’t have to love that girl. You are a prince, I will bring you a princess., Even after all these words of father, Kumar Gaurav continued to save his relationship. But there was a rift due to his father’s pressure.

Vijayata claimed that even after the breakup, Rajendra Kumar started creating problems for her on the occasion of her films. Vijayata told that she was also approached for many films. He had also shot for 10 days for the film Rahi, but Rajendraji had made me leave the film. He had suggested the names of Poonam Dhillon and Rati Agnihotri for the film. All those films were flops. Rajendra Kumar along with his son also spoiled my career.
