Some people present in the wedding procession were surprised by this decision but those who knew Rajesh Khanna well were not surprised by this move. It is also told in the book that the relationship between Anju Mahendru and Rajesh Khanna had ended a few days before the marriage.
Rajesh Khanna’s female fan following was very strong at that time. It is described in the book that on the day of their marriage, there was tight police presence throughout the day in the C-Face area of Mumbai. The fear was that his crazy fans might harm themselves after hearing the news of the marriage. This clearly reflects the stardom and fan following of Rajesh Khanna.
