'We used to…', This actor breaks his long-term silence on rumours of getting slapped by Rajesh Khanna, because of Dimple Kapadia, his name is…
In a recent candid conversation, renowned veteran actor has opened up on the rumours of earlier getting slapped by superstar Rajesh Khanna.
Veteran actor Raza Murad has recently addressed and dismissed a long-standing rumor involving himself, late superstar Rajesh Khanna, and actress Dimple Kapadia. The speculation suggested that Khanna had slapped Murad upon seeing him with Kapadia at Film City.
What Raza Murad Said About The Incident?
In a candid conversation on the podcast The Filmy Charcha, Murad clarified that such an incident never occurred. He stated, 'Neither I ever went to Film City with Dimple, nor such a situation ever happened, and never have Dimple Kapadia, Rajesh Khanna, and I ever been in the same spot together. We used to shoot separately with Kakaji (Khanna) and Dimple. This baseless rumour didn't have even 1% truth in it. It was a 100% lie.'
Murad further recounted that the rumor originated from an article in a film newspaper called Urvashi, which claimed that he and Kapadia arrived at Film City together, leading to an altercation with Khanna. He emphasized that this narrative was entirely fabricated.
'I Didn't Even Make A Mention To Them'
Reflecting on the impact of such rumors, Murad mentioned encountering the journalist who penned the article at a film party. Despite his anger, he chose not to confront the individual publicly, stating, 'I didn't even make a mention of that to them. I just met them like the way I always did. Because when you're at someone's party, you don't have the right to ruin that.
He further said, 'It was possible I'd have entered into an argument, or even a brawl, with them, since they made such a damaging allegation towards me. But since it was someone else's party, there shouldn't be any bitterness or misbehaviour there. So I remained completely normal.' For the unversed, Murad and Kapadia have collaborated on several films, including Janbaaz (1986), Aag Ka Gola (1989), and Gunaah (1993). Similarly, Murad and Khanna shared screen space in movies like Namak Haraam (1973) and Riyasat (2014).

Rajesh Khanna Fans ‘Married' His Photos, Wore White As Widows On His Wedding Day? The Real Story
Last Updated: In 1973, 15-year-old Dimple Kapadia married superstar Rajesh Khanna, causing a media frenzy. On Kaka's wedding day, his female fans wore white to symbolise widowhood. Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia's marriage: In 1973, at just 15 years old, Dimple Kapadia was on the cusp of a dream debut in Raj Kapoor's Bobby opposite his son, Rishi Kapoor. But even as she prepared for stardom and fate, but life had other plans. According to Bombay Superstar, Dimple had no inkling of the conversation that had taken place between her father and her then-future husband, Rajesh Khanna. The news of their impending marriage spread like wildfire after Khanna himself called a journalist friend, Devi, in the middle of the night, promising 'the scoop of the century." On the day of the wedding, Khanna surprised his young nephew Rajeev by barging into his classroom, whisking him and his sister away to buy fancy clothes for the evening ceremony. 'I couldn't believe he was getting married," Rajeev recalled, adding, 'I kept asking him if it was for real." The wedding became the most talked-about event of the year. His massive female fan following were left heartbroken. In Rajesh Khanna's biography, Dark Star The Loneliness of Being Rajesh Khanna, penned by Gautam Chintamani and published by Rupa Publications, an excerpt on his wedding read: 'Hordes of women were left heartbroken. Some of them went into a state of shock while some who had previously 'married' his photographs decided to wear white to symbolise widowhood!" Rajesh Khanna 's aunt, Madhu Talwar, remembered the frenzy around the event, saying everything went exactly as Kaka wanted. But despite the grand buzz, reality soon set in. The honeymoon was postponed because Dimple had to return to finish shooting Bobby. Khanna had made it clear he wanted a homemaker, not an actress, and Dimple agreed to step away from films after her debut. Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia never divorced After stepping away from films, Dimple Kapadia devoted herself to raising her children, Twinkle Khanna and Rinke Khanna, and ensuring they received the care and attention they needed. By the early 1980s, reports suggested that she and Rajesh Khanna had chosen to live separately, though they never officially divorced. Despite their differences, Dimple remained by his side during his most challenging times. In 2012, she was there with him as he lost his battle with cancer.
