Bollywood Untold: Superstar’s craze or revenge for a broken heart? When Rajesh Khanna took out his wedding procession in front of his ex-girlfriend’s house

News India Live, Digital Desk: As much as the name of Bollywood’s first ‘superstar’ Rajesh Khanna was famous for his superhit films, the stories of his personal life also made headlines. The anger and decisions of Rajesh Khanna, popularly known as ‘Kaka’, surprised people many times. One such incident is related to his marriage, when he made a plan to humiliate his ex-girlfriend Anju Mahendru, which is still discussed in the film circles even today.

Seven years of togetherness and a bitter turn

Rajesh Khanna and Anju Mahendru were once one of the most talked about couples of Bollywood. Both were in a live-in relationship for almost seven years. It is said that Rajesh Khanna was very possessive about Anju and wanted her to leave her career and focus on him. Due to mutual estrangement and differences, their relationship broke in the year 1971. This breakup shook Rajesh Khanna deeply and there was a pain left in his mind.

Marriage with Dimple Kapadia and that ‘revenge’ wedding procession

Shortly after the breakup, Rajesh Khanna surprised everyone by suddenly deciding to marry rising actress Dimple Kapadia. But the real drama happened on the wedding day. Rajesh Khanna had deliberately changed the route of his wedding procession. He ordered his wedding procession to take place right in front of Anju Mahendru’s house.

Band played outside ex-girlfriend’s house for half an hour

The story is that when the wedding procession reached near Anju’s house, Rajesh Khanna stopped the wedding procession there. For about half an hour, the band kept playing outside Anju Mahendru’s house and there was celebration. Rajesh Khanna wanted to ensure that Anju felt comfortable in their marriage. This incident is remembered as the most famous incident in the history of Bollywood by a superstar to tease or take revenge on his ex-girlfriend.

Even today, Kaka’s style is remembered.

This behavior of Rajesh Khanna shows his complex personality. However, years later, Rajesh Khanna and Anju Mahendru became friends again and Anju stood by the superstar in his last days. But that ‘baraat incident’ of their wedding still reminds people of the passion and rivalries of the superstars of that era.
