Rajesh Khanna changed his will at last minute, kept Dimple Kapadia out of it, gave Rs 600 crore to…, Dimple got….

While Bollywood remembers Hindi cinema’s first superstar, Rajesh Khanna, he remained in the headlines for his controversies surrounding his life and legacy. Known for his work and career, Rajesh Khanna had a tumultuous life. Rajesh was fondly called Kaka by all. He has left an indelible mark on Indian cinema with several blockbuster films.

He had a huge fan following, and fans showered love on him and his white car. However, by the end of the 70s, his stardom started fading. In his will, reportedly made a month before his death on July 18, 2012, Rajesh Khanna left his property and bungalow ‘Aashirwad’ to his daughters Twinkle and Rinke. He had kept his wife, Dimple Kapadia, out of the will.

However, a day before his demise, Rajesh Khanna’s alleged live-in partner Anita Advani sent a legal notice to his family claiming her rights over his property.

Anita Advani called herself Khanna’s surrogate wife. She revealed her involvement in Rajesh Khanna’s will. She said, ‘I took care of him, handled the blessings and even kept the Karva Chauth fast for him.’ Despite her claims, Rajesh Khanna’s family reportedly distanced themselves from her during his last days and even kept her out of the funeral.

In an interview with ETimes, Anita Advani demanded her compensation for taking care of and supporting Rajesh Khanna. She said, ‘I was with him during his lonely times.’ Advani also talked about converting Rajesh Khanna’s bungalow Ashirwad into a museum, saying that it was Rajesh Khanna’s dream and now she believes that this dream was ignored after his demise.

When asked why she did not raise these issues while Rajesh Khanna was alive, Anita Advani said, ‘I loved the man. I did not raise the topic of money because I was never with him for his wealth. But after his family misbehaved with me, I was forced to take legal recourse.’
