Raj Kapoor's wife Krishna Kapoor once left actor and their home in anger, took Rishi Kapoor and other kids with her after she found out that...
Veteran actor Raj Kapoor, also known as the showman of Hindi cinema, left no stone unturned in entertaining audiences. While his professional life always gained headlines and appreciation, his personal life remained under public scrutiny. Kapoor was known for his habit of drinking alcohol. However, another major revelation about the actor was made by his son Rishi Kapoor when his autobiography came to limelight.
In Rishi's autobiography, Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored, he disclosed shocking details about his father and his extra-marital affair. Rishi also mentioned how it affected the family dynamics.
On several occasions, Raj Kapoor had been linked to many actresses. Reports claim that Raj and his wife Krishna Kapoor had many heated arguments due to these link-up rumors. However, it was Rishi Kapoor's book that confirmed his father's extra-marital affair with Vyjayanthimala, and Nargis, and revealed how his mother Krishna Kapoor reacted.
In his biography, Rishi wrote, 'When I was young, my father's name was in the news for his affairs with many actresses. But the memories of the disputes in the house faded with time. When my mother came to know about his extra-marital affair with Sangam co-star Vyjayanthimala, the matter got worse. There were a lot of fights between mummy and papa. This time, Mother was not ready to step back, and she left the house with me. For some time, we stayed in a hotel, and later we had a flat in Chitrakoot where we started living. When papa realized his mistake, things got sorted out (sic).'
Rishi also revealed more about his father's relationship with Vyjayanthimala, which caused multiple disruptions in their family. Raj Kapoor's extra-marital affair with his co-star was not Vyjayanthimala, but Nargis, which often made headlines. However, Raj and Nargis' affair never materialized, and later Nargis married Sunil Dutt.

'Anora' star Mikey Madison was almost in Star Wars? Here's what we know
Mikey Madison Mikey Madison , the breakout sensation of 'Anora' is quickly becoming one of the most in-demand names in the film industry. With an Oscar under her belt and accolades like a BAFTA and Independent Spirit Award in her name, the 26-year-old actress is now a top contender for high-profile projects. But in an alternate timeline, Madison could have been headed not to the gritty streets of indie cinema but to the stars literally. As per a recent Hollywood Reporter interview, Madison was in serious consideration for a role in Shawn Levy 's upcoming project, which is also expected to star Ryan Gosling . While the casting never reached the final stages, sources revealed that discussions were indeed happening and the excitement around her potential involvement had been swirling for months within Hollywood circles. Levy and Lucasfilm's fresh take piqued Madison's interest Director Shawn Levy has been developing a new Star Wars installment with Lucasfilm since 2022. In a recent podcast appearance, Levy discussed his ambition to depart from the franchise's familiar tropes. 'I don't want to make a film that feels like a rerun,' he shared, hinting at a storyline that veers away from the timeline-heavy narratives fans have come to expect. That creative pivot seems to align perfectly with Madison's current artistic direction. After her breakthrough in 'Anora,' which debuted at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, she has been carefully choosing roles that challenge the norm. Her interest in this galaxy spanning saga may have stemmed from that same desire to explore unexpected, genre-defying stories. From Tarantino to horror hits, Madison's choices have always surprised Before 'Anora' catapulted her into the spotlight, Madison already had notable roles in films like Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' and 2022's 'Scream 5.' Known for taking on unconventional, risk taking roles, her near miss with Star Wars adds another intriguing layer to her evolving career. She also considered a part in Alejandro Landes' Reptilia, a romantic fantasy involving a mermaid and a dental hygienist, according to The Hollywood Reporter. These varied choices prove Madison isn't afraid to venture into strange, bold territory, whether grounded in human emotion or set among the stars. Though the role didn't materialize, Madison's momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
