Rajesh Khanna, known as Hindi cinema's first superstar, married Dimple Kapadia in 1973 when she was only 16 years old, shortly after the success of her debut film, *Bobby*. Their relationship was under constant scrutiny due to their age difference and Khanna's fame. Although they separated later, they never officially divorced, maintaining a cordial relationship. Dimple, who was once a fan of Khanna, left her burgeoning film career at his request, but their marriage faced turmoil as Khanna's career waned and he struggled with alcoholism. In the 1980s, Khanna's affair with actress Tina Munim became public, leading to Dimple moving out of their home, Aashirwad. Despite this, Dimple never sought a divorce and continued to support Khanna, even during his political campaigns. They had two daughters, Twinkle and Rinke, both of whom followed in their parents' footsteps in the film industry. Rajesh Khanna passed away on July 18, 2012, with Dimple by his side.
