Anil Ambani's wife Tina Ambani once revealed shocking details about this Bollywood superstar, said he was incapable of...., he was...
Tina Ambani, the wife of industrialist Anil Ambani, and daughter-in-law of the iconic Dhirubhai Ambani, is a name that needs no introduction. Today, Tina Ambani is known primarily for her philanthropic work and dignified presence in business, but she has long had a deep-rooted and treasured association with Bollywood, where she was once a celebrated actress.
Tina Munim, who is now called Tina Ambani, established herself as a significant personality in Indian cinema before transitioning to business and philanthropy. She appeared in several extraordinary films like Karz, Baton Baton Mein, Rocky, Lootmaar, and Souten, where she brought effortless elegance and charm to her characters and won a place in the hearts of moviegoers.
Did you know that Tina Munim, her name in her pre-married life, enjoyed a warm and close relationship with the legendary actor Rajesh Khanna?
Tina, who was born into a Gujarati family in Mumbai, began her film career at the young age of 20. After modelling and being crowned Femina Teen Princess India in 1975, Tina made her film debut in 1978 with Dev Anand's Des Pardes. Afterwards, she starred in several notable films like Karz, Man Pasand, and Souten, quickly becoming a familiar face in Bollywood.
In the early 1980s, she starred opposite Rajesh Khanna, Bollywood's first superstar, in several films, quickly becoming an audience favorite. Their on-screen presence was so well-received that they made 11 films together, a majority of which were commercially successful.
Rajesh Khanna was the reigning megastar of that time, and she was an artist on the rise, a noteworthy actress who appreciated his work. Over time, their professional relationship grew into a strong friendship, despite the significant age difference of 15 years. That friendship all developed during a turbulent time for Rajesh Khanna personally, especially with the issues he was having with his marriage to Dimple Kapadia.
In an interview reflecting on their relationship, Rajesh Khanna once stated, 'Tina was a balm on my wounds.' Rajesh Khanna, popularly known as the first superstar of Bollywood, was married to actress Dimple Kapadia. The couple had two daughters- Twinkle Khanna and Rinke Khanna, but after a troubled marriage, they separated.
Tina Munim also shared a rarely heard unvarnished response to her relationship with Rajesh Khanna. 'Kaka (Rajesh Khanna) was incapable of loving anyone. He was only ever in love with himself,' she stated in a rare interview, as per Masala magazine.
After ending things with Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, Tina Munim fell in love again when superstar Rajesh Khanna was taken by her beauty and charm. Their love blossomed, and they worked in films including Souten and Bewafai. Tina eventually moved into Rajesh Khanna's home, Aashirwad, where they both settled down. They became so close that at one point, they said they reportedly shared a toothbrush because they loved one another so much.
Tina was said to have stated her desire to marry Rajesh Khanna and the superstar had allegedly told her he would divorce Dimple Kapadia, his wife, but Khanna never made a move for divorce, which ultimately caused Tina to break up with him, even after he kept asking her to stay with him.
However, destiny had different plans for Tina. She later met industrialist Anil Ambani and the two of them fell in love and eventually got married.

"Earlier, it was very difficult to dream of becoming an artist": Singer Jubin Nautiyal hails evolution of Indian music industry
By Palash Srivastava New Delhi [India], June 24 (ANI): Singer Jubin Nautiyal praised the current scenario of the Indian music industry, calling it more approachable and easier for upcoming artists to compose songs with the help of technology. In an interview with ANI, Nautiyal hailed the evolution of the music industry in India while referencing the recent collaborations between Indian and international artists, including Ed Sheeran and Arijit Singh's new hit song 'Sapphire'. The 'Raatan Lambiyaan' singer expressed his happiness at the consumption of Indian music in foreign countries and English music in India. 'Now, there is no national and international, it has all become one. And there's so much English music being consumed in India, and there's so much Indian music being consumed outside. So it's all the same now,' said Jubin Nautiyal. Jubin Nautiyal shot to fame with his song 'Ek Mulaqat' from the film 'Sonali Cable' in 2014. The singer gradually built his diverse discography with the help of memorable hits like 'Kuch Din (Kaabil), 'Bawara Mann' (Jolly LLB 2), 'Akh Lad Jaave' (Loveyaatri) and others. The singer called the present scenario of the Indian music industry a 'great time' for the musicians, as now they can compose their music independently without the help of a music label. 'It's a great time for artists, all the upcoming artists. It's a great time because now you can release your own music. You don't need an absolute music label to release your music. You can do your own thing as an independent artist,' said Nautiyal. Looking back at his struggling days, the singer said that earlier, the path to success for music artists was quite 'difficult' as it required a lot of struggle to reach a breakthrough stage of their career. He added that music composition has become easier and more approachable due to technological advancements. 'Earlier, it was very difficult to dream of becoming an artist. There was a lot of way to even reach a point where people will accept that, Okay, now you should start struggling in your journey to become an artist. But now you can dream and figure it out. Today, making music has become so easy because of technology, and singing has become so easy. Everything has become so much easier and more approachable. So I think it's just showing the power of music as how deeply everybody wants to connect to music and do a lot of crazy things in music,' said Jubin Nautiyal. Nautiyal has been in the music industry for over a decade. He believes that music has become more approachable and will blossom in the coming five years. 'In five years, I think we'll be, we'll multiply at least four to five times as an industry. It's amazing. Today, anybody can approach music. Earlier, you had to buy a cassette to even start, and a CD to even start. But now, just one click and you can listen to a song that was released in Africa 15-20 years back. So that's the power we are at right now,' said Jubin Nautiyal. Jubin Nautiyal's recent song, 'Barbaad,' has created a buzz in the entertainment industry. It is the second song from the upcoming movie Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and starring debutant Ahaan Panday in the lead role. The movie is produced under the banner of Yash Raj Films. It is slated to release in theatres worldwide on July 18, 2025. (ANI)
