Rajesh
Khanna
and
Dimple
Kapadia
were
the
first
superstar
couple
of
the
country.
Rajesh
Khanna
married
Dimple
in
March
1973.
Everyone
in
the
film
industry
knew
that
they
had
a
troubled
marriage.
Things
got
bitter
between
them
and
the
couple
started
living
separately.
However,
even
after
their
separation
Rajesh
Khanna
never
abused
or
cursed
Dimple.
It
is
said
that
it
was
Dimple
Kapadia's
decision
to
leave
Rajesh
Khanna.
Rajesh
Khanna
took
his
marriage
for
granted
as
he
used
to
spend
most
of
his
time
on
the
sets
of
his
films.
So,
Dimple
decided
to
work
in
films
again,
but
Rajesh
Khanna
was
not
happy
with
her
decision,
which
ultimately
led
to
their
separation.
However,
both
of
them
decided
not
to
get
divorced
cause
they
thought
their
divorce
will
affect
their
daughters.
Rajesh
Khanna's
close
friends
say
that
Rajesh
Khanna
never
tried
to
call
Dimple
back.
But
at
the
same
time,
he
never
spoke
ill
about
Dimple
and
never
abused
or
cursed
her.
Reportedly,
in
his
later
stages
of
life,
he
even
apologised
to
Dimple.
