Mumtaz says 'Why is girlfriend less than a wife' as she opens up on Anju Mahendru's reaction after Rajesh Khanna married Dimple Kapadia: 'Jab insaan pyaar karta hai...'
Mumtaz was very close friends with Rajesh Khanna as they also shared a great rapport on-screen. Khanna's pairing with Mumtaz was the most appreciated onscreen. But Mumtaz was also great friends with Khanna's girlfriend Anju Mahendru . In a recent interview, she was asked about Anju's reaction when Khanna was dating her and then suddenly decided to marry Dimple Kapadia . Mumtaz reacted and said in an interview with Filmy Beat, "I don't think she really cared. She said, "Theek hai. If he really thinks someone is better or he loves her. I wish him all the best, he's a nice person. Ek cheez aap kabhi bhi forcefully nahi le sakte. Ya toh hota hai, nahi hota hai ya dhokha hota hai. Ya toh saccha pyaar samajhke insaan dhoka khaa leta hai par kuch log seriously pyar karte the but muqaddar mein rehta nahi tha. (She didn't really care. She was like, 'if he finds someone better, if he's happy, let him be.' See one cannot force love. Either there is love or there is cheating. And sometimes even if there is true love, two people are not meant to be together.)" The veteran actress further said, "She was like a wife to him. Wahin rehte the, sambhalte the. She used to entertain me, my husband. She used to offer my husband drink, khana peena, unka ghar sambhalna. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Bagair shadi ke wife hoti hai, she was like that. (She was like a wife to him without getting married. She was staying with him and handling his entire house)." Mumtaz also defended Anju and spoke about the way society looks at a girlfriend and a wife. She admitted that when there is love, a girlfriend also should get the same amount of respect. The actress said, "Jab insaan ek doosre se pyaar karta hai, woh shadi se zyada important hai. Kitne log shadi karke chhod dete hai but why is girlfriend less than a wife? Until and unless she is doing something really wrong but I feel, joh biwi ke saath taaluk hota hai wahi girlfriend ke saath hota hai. Sirf usko 10 bacche paida karne ka haq hota hai, gf ko nahi hota hai. That's it, what else? (When people love each other, that's more important than marriage. People leave each other even after getting married. So, why is girlfriend considered less than a wife? Unless she is doing something really wrong, but a man has the same relationship with a girlfriend which he has with his wife. The only difference is, a wife has the right to have ten kids with that man which the girlfriend doesn't)." Rajesh Khanna passed away in 2012 and Anju was always with him till the day he died.

Moonwalk movie review: A heartfelt tribute to the breakdancing subculture
Moonwalk (Malayalam) Starring: Anunath V.P., Sujith Prapanchan, Sreekanth Murali, Sanjana Doss, Meenakshi Raveendran, Rishi Kainikkara, Arjun Manilal Direction: Vinod A.K. Storyline: A group of youth take up breakdancing, but the ride ahead is filled with obstacles Runtime: 118 minutes Evoking a time period is a challenge of a lesser order as opposed to effectively transporting the audience to that period. A few carefully chosen props might be enough to pull off the former, while the latter involves the arduous task of authentically capturing the zeitgeist of that time and hitting all the right notes to make it believable for those who might have lived through those times. In Moonwalk, debutant filmmaker Vinod A.K. makes a bold attempt for the latter and lands stylishly on his toes, evoking the iconic dance move of the early 1990s. The world that he recreates is the early 1990s in the coastal and rural belts of Thiruvananthapuram or rather more specifically, the emergence of a breakdancing subculture among groups of youths during that period. Of course, there are the grainy VHS tape visuals, Walkman, STD booths, disco-inspired costumes, frizzy long hair, Michael Jackson fanhood and every other nostalgia-evoking material from those times, but all of these are woven organically into a straight-forward, simple plot that holds an emotional pull. Part of Moonwalk's zestful appeal rests with its fresh cast of young performers, many of whom were not probably born during the period in which the film is set. Yet, that does not come as a barrier for them in convincingly portraying the demeanour of the youths of that period. Prasanth Pillai's groovy disco-synth soundtrack which goes in step with Ansar Shah's cinematography sets the rhythm for the film quite early on, managing to hook the audience and carrying them along even through the mundane moments. He comes up with an era-evoking soundtrack that lends character, colour, and an irresistible energy to the film. The lack of a major, earth-shattering conflict in the lives of these youths can be held against the film, but they do go through enough experiences for their age, from picking up avoidable fights due to their hot-headedness to facing parental pressures owing to their chosen art and the staple physical makeovers that goes with it. The romances are fleeting affairs that fills the time between their dance practises and performances, but even these are imbued with some character like the personally chosen mix-tape that one of them gifts the other. Vinod A.K., who has written the screenplay with Mathew Varghese and Sunil Gopalakrishnan, also plays with some interesting juxtapositions between rural and urban youth as well as the class differences that comes into play during interactions between them as well as with the police force. The way some of the working class characters blend their new-found dance moves to their jobs is a delight. The film hits its high towards the end with a solo dance performance that really lifts it when it appeared to sag a bit. The character arc of the dancer also ends up as one of the highlights of the film. In a way, the character's struggles are reflective of the challenges in bringing the film to the theatres after it remained without any takers for some years. Moonwalk is a heartfelt tribute to a time period and to the breakdancing subculture that ruled the campuses and street venues during that time. Moonwalk is currently running in cinemas.

Top Indian cricketers who got divorced: This former Indian captain parted ways not once, but twice
Indian cricketer divorce list: Cricket is almost religion in India. It is a shared passion that unites millions. Fans ardently follow their favourite players, celebrating their on-field triumphs. The limelight is mostly on the players' professional achievements, and the personal journeys of these athletes, marked by challenges and transformations, remain away from the public eye. However, fans are almost always keen on the stars' personal lives. In recent years, several prominent Indian cricketers have faced significant personal upheavals, navigating the complexities of marital relationships under the scrutiny of the public and media. Shikhar Dhawan, known for his flamboyant batting and charismatic presence, was granted a divorce in October 2023 from Aesha Mukerji on grounds of mental cruelty. The separation was not just a legal proceeding but an emotional journey, especially concerning his son, Zoravar, from whom he has been estranged. Similarly, Yuzvendra Chahal, the leg-spinner celebrated for his on-field agility, parted ways with choreographer Dhanashree Verma in March 2025 after over four years of marriage. Dinesh Karthik's personal life also witnessed turbulence, with his first marriage to Nikita Vanjara ending after nine years. Several Indian cricketers have encountered difficulties in their marriages, leading to divorce. While some have found love again and remarried, others continue to embrace singlegood. Here's a look at their stories. Yuzvendra Chahal is the latest Indian cricketer to go through a divorce. He tied the knot with dancer and choreographer Dhanashree Verma in 2020, but their marriage soon hit a rough patch. The two had been living separately for the past couple of years, and have now officially ended their relationship. As per the divorce agreement, Chahal will be paying Dhanashree an alimony of Rs 4.75 crore. Hardik Pandya, the dynamic Indian all-rounder, and his wife Natasa Stankovic, made headlines in July 2024 when they confirmed their separation, sparking widespread buzz across social media. Their relationship began in early 2020, blossoming into a whirlwind romance that led to a low-key wedding during the COVID-19 lockdown. The couple welcomed their son, Agastya, on July 30, 2020. In a more public celebration of their bond, they hosted a grand wedding ceremony in Rajasthan on February 14, 2023. However, despite their seemingly strong connection, their relationship eventually faced irreconcilable issues, resulting in their split in 2024. Shikhar Dhawan's relationship with Ayesha Mukherjee, a Melbourne-based kickboxer, once seemed like a modern-day romance, defying conventions. Ayesha, already a mother of two and previously divorced, formed a deep bond with Dhawan, leading to their marriage in 2012. Their union, which welcomed the birth of their son Zoravar, appeared strong. However, in 2021, the couple publicly announced their decision to part ways. Later, in 2023, a Delhi court officially granted Dhawan a divorce, citing mental cruelty by Ayesha as the reason. It was reported that cultural clashes and ongoing personal disagreements played a major role in their split. Dinesh Karthik's first marriage was marred by controversy and heartbreak. He married his childhood friend Nikita Vanjara in 2007, but their relationship soon hit turbulent waters. Reports emerged of Nikita's growing closeness with Karthik's then-teammate, Murali Vijay. The rumours eventually proved true, as she went on to marry Vijay in 2012, the same year her divorce with Karthik was finalised. The episode created quite a stir in the media and became an unfortunate personal setback for Karthik amid his cricketing career. However, he later found stability and happiness in his personal life, tying the knot with renowned Indian squash champion Dipika Pallikal. Mohammad Azharuddin, the stylish former captain of the Indian cricket team, tied the knot with Naureen in 1987. The couple had two sons, Mohammad Asaduddin and Mohammad Ayazuddin. However, after over a decade of marriage, their relationship came to an end in 1996. Azharuddin then went on to marry Bollywood actress Sangeeta Bijlani, a union that attracted considerable media attention at the time. Unfortunately, their marriage also couldn't stand the test of time. In 2010, Sangeeta reportedly filed for divorce amid widespread speculation about Azhar's alleged involvement with multiple women, marking the end of their relationship as well. Ravi Shastri, the former Indian cricketer and ex-head coach of Team India, parted ways with his now ex-wife Ritu Singh in 2012, bringing an end to their 22-year-long marriage. The couple had tied the knot in 1990 and were blessed with a daughter, Alekha, in 2008. While the exact cause behind their separation has never been publicly revealed, the split marked a significant chapter in Shastri's personal life. Vinod Kambli, the stylish southpaw who lit up the cricketing scene in the 90s, went through a divorce with his first wife, Noella Lewis, reportedly due to personal incompatibilities. After the separation, he found companionship again and tied the knot with fashion model Andrea Hewitt. The couple has a son together. In 2023, Kambli and Andrea made headlines when they filed for divorce, but the two eventually decided to withdraw the petition, choosing to give their relationship another chance. Javagal Srinath, one of India's leading fast bowlers from the 90s, went through a divorce in 2007 after being married to his first wife, Jyothsna, for eight years. The couple parted ways due to personal incompatibilities. Eventually, Srinath found companionship again and tied the knot with journalist Madhavi Patravali, turning a new chapter in his personal life. Former Indian all-rounder and coach Manoj Prabhakar ended his first marriage with Sandhya in 2013 after years of a strained and turbulent relationship. The separation followed serious allegations from Sandhya, who accused him of dowry demands and harassment. Eventually, Manoj found stability in his personal life once again when he tied the knot with actress Farheen. The couple has since built a peaceful life together and are parents to two sons.
