Late
Rajesh
Khanna's
'lady
love'
Anita
Advani,
who
reportedly
had
a
live-in
relationship
with
the
megastar,
is
extremely
upset
after
hearing
the
buzz
about
the
superstar's
bungalow
Aashirwad
being
renamed
as
Vardaan.
"If
the
rumours
are
true,
it
would
hurt
Kakaji's
(Rajesh
Khanna's)
soul," quipped
Anita
Advani,
adding
that
"Aashirwad
is
synonymous
with
Rajesh
Khanna."
She
particularly
found
the
name-change
talks
upsetting,
as
she
said,
the
name
Aashirwad
was
given
to
the
bungalow
by
Rajesh
Khanna's
father.
"Kakaji
used
to
fondly
remember
and
tell
me
how
the
bungalow
was
named
Aashirwad.
When
they
were
looking
for
a
new
name
for
the
bungalow,
his
father
had
thought
for
a
long
time
and
then
suggested
the
name
Aashirwad.
Kakaji
has
mentioned
that
his
father
said,
'You'll
be
a
star
and
people
will
write
letters
and
fan
mail
to
you.
Whenever
they
write
your
name
on
the
letters,
they
will
write
the
words
-
Rajesh
Khanna
Aashirwad.
So
in
a
way,
they
would
always
be
giving
you
their
Aashirwad
(blessings).' That
was
the
lovely
thought
behind
the
name,"
reminisced
Anita
Advani.
Remembering
her
years
with
the
megastar,
Advani
remarked,
"Kakaji
used
to
say
that
this
(Aashirwad)
was
the
'most
favourite'
name
given
by
his
father.
The
bungalow
was
also
his
most
prized
possession,
which
he
wished
to
convert
into
a
museum
and
his
last
wish
should
be
fulfilled.
In
fact,
together,
over
the
years,
we
both
designed
its
interiors
with
a
long-term
plan
to
convert
it
into
a
museum."
Advani
further
added
that
she
was
"perturbed
by
the
sudden
name-change
talks.
What
sense
does
it
make?
If
it's
true,
it's
a
weird
move
and
doesn't
sound
nice."
Reacting
to
claims
about
her
asking
for
a
stake
in
Aashirwad,
Advani's
spokesperson
Dale
Bhagwagar
stated,
"It's
false
that
Ms
Advani
has
claimed
a
stake
in
the
bungalow.
But
she
has
maintained
that
Mr
Rajesh
Khanna
wished
to
turn
it
into
a
museum
for
his
loving
fans."
