Did Kaka slap Raza after seeing him with Dimple?

Late superstar Rajesh Khanna’s life has always fascinated people, whether it’s his blockbuster films or his personal relationships. His marriage to Dimple Kapadia in 1973, just before the release of her first film ‘Bobby’, was one of the biggest talking points of that time. But with fame also came wild rumours. One of the most shocking was that Rajesh Khanna had once slapped Raza Murad because Murad was spending too much time with Dimple.

Now, Raza Murad himself has spoken up, putting these rumours to rest.The rumour that refused to dieAccording to gossip that did the rounds back then, there was a day when Dimple and Raza turned up at Film City together. The story went that Rajesh Khanna was already there, busy shooting. When he saw them, things supposedly took a dramatic turn.“There used to be a film newspaper called Urvashi. It was written there that Raza Murad and Dimple Kapadia came to Film City in the same car. Rajesh Khanna was shooting there. When he began talking to Dimple, Raza asked her to leave with him, leading to Rajesh Khanna slapping Raza Murad,” recalled Murad on the podcast ‘The Filmy Charcha’Raza Murad breaks his silenceBut now, after so many years, Raza Murad has completely dismissed this rumour.

He set the record straight once and for all, “Neither I ever went to Film City with Dimple, nor such a situation ever happened, and never have Dimple Kapadia, Rajesh Khanna, and Raza Murad ever been in the same spot together. We used to shoot separately with Kakaji (Khanna) and Dimple. This baseless rumour didn’t have even 1% truth in it. It was a 100% lie.

”A long list of films togetherIt’s interesting that despite this rumour, Raza Murad has worked many times with both Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia. With Dimple, he has shared the screen in films like Feroz Khan’s ‘Janbaaz’ (1986), David Dhawan’s ‘Aag Ka Gola’ (1989), Babbar Subhash’s ‘Pyaar Ke Naam Qurbaan’ (1990), Mahesh Bhatt’s ‘Gunaah’ (1993), and Ajay Kashyap’s ‘Pathreela Rasta’ (1994).Meanwhile, he also did several films with Rajesh Khanna, such as Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s ‘Namak Haraam’ (1973), ‘Tyaag’ (1977), ‘Tinku’ (1977), ‘Oonche Log’ (1985), ‘Adhikar’ (1986), ‘Begunaah’ (1991), and ‘Riyasat’ (2014).
