Rajesh
Khanna
shocked
the
world
by
marrying
Dimple
Kapadia,
who
was
15
years
younger
to
him,
in
March
1973.
Dimple
was
Rajesh
Khanna's
huge
fan.
But
everyone
wanted
to
know
why
out
of
all
the
actresses,
Rajesh
Khanna
married
such
a
young
girl.
It
has
been
said
that
Rajesh
Khanna's
career
started
dipping
when
he
met
Dimple
Kapadia,
while
Dimple
Kapdia
got
very
famous
because
of
her
debut
film
Bobby.
So,
Rajesh
Khanna
thought
that
his
marriage
to
Dimple
would
keep
him
in
the
limelight.
As
far
as
Dimple
is
concerned,
she
was
very
young
and
was
Rajesh
Khanna's
huge
fan.
Before
Bobby
happened,
Dimple
used
to
stand
outside
Rajesh
Khanna's
bungalow
Aashirwad
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
India's
first
superstar.
However,
Rajesh
Khanna
never
took
care
of
his
wife
and
just
like
his
career,
he
even
took
his
marriage
for
granted.
Dimple
just
had
one
job
after
marriage
and
that
was
to
sit
at
home
and
serve
food
to
Khanna's
'chamchas'.
Finally,
Dimple
left
Khanna
and
the
couple
started
living
separately.
In
his
last
days,
Rajesh
Khanna
apologised
to
Dimple
for
his
past
mistakes.
