ANJU MAHENDROO & RAJESH KHANNA'S CLOSE BOND
Rajesh Khanna was already well-known in the industry while Anju was trying to establish herself. Although little is known about how the two met, their love is nonetheless regarded as being sincere and genuine.
In the early years of their relationship, the two gave one other unconditional support. Anju was a loyal girlfriend, and even Rajesh didn't hesitate to pamper her. According to reports, the duo lived together from 1966 until 1972, a period of seven long years.
Anju was allegedly dating West Indian cricketer Gary Sobers around 1971. Anju's lenient attitude toward marriage further infuriated the veteran star. He was an acclaimed artist in the industry, and Anju's mother wanted him to marry her daughter as soon as possible. Khanna himself felt the same way. But
Khanna ended his relationship with Anju in 1972 as a result of her continuous refusal to tie the knot. Anju had previously admitted in an interview that the legendary star's varying and inconsistent opinions caused a lot of chaos in their relationship. Reportedly, he also wanted to to quit her acting career after marriage.
After their breakup, they didn't speak to each other for 17 long years.
