The house was never sealed. There was a problem in the in 1991.' Tax dispute of Rs 45 lakh Recounting how the superstar was caught off guard by income tax issues, Anita explained that Rajesh wasn't hands-on with his finances. 'He never used to see the documents and he didn't know what income tax was. Whatever his team would tell him to give, he would give that amount. If he was asked to give one lakh, he would call his CA to ask 'how many zeros should I put.' Then tax became overdue and he or his team did not pay attention to it. He didn't even know that,' she recalled.
