Many stories to the first superstar of the film industry Rajesh Khanna are famous even today. One such incident was when at the time of marriage, he had deliberately passed by the house of his ex-girlfriend Anju Mahendru with the wedding procession so that he could humiliate her. Rajesh Khanna was in a serious relationship with Anju but despite this their relationship did not reach any conclusion. Recently, in an interview given to Vicky Lalwani, Sanjeev Kumar’s niece Jigna Shah and film historian Hanif Zaveri have openly talked about the relationship between Rajesh Khanna and Anju Mahendru.

Sanjeev Kumar had already warned Anju

Jigna Shah and Hanif Zaveri told during the interview that actors Sanjeev Kumar and Anju were good friends. Sanjeev Kumar had already alerted Anju about Rajesh Khanna. Sanjeev Kumar had said, ‘This man is suspicious, no one’s life can go on with him’. During the interview, Jigna Shah and Hanif Zaveri also revealed that there was a time when Sanjeev Kumar and Rajesh Khanna did not get along at all. Zaveri said, ‘Anju herself had told me that Rajesh Khanna suspected that Sanjeev and I were having an affair’.

Not ready to work together in a film

Hanif Zaveri shared another anecdote and said that once filmmaker J. Omprakash wanted to cast Rajesh Khanna and Sanjeev Kumar together. At least 20 people from the industry explained to him that these two could not work together, and even if they did, the film would not be completed. Hanif tells that Hrishikesh Mukherjee wanted to cast Sanjeev Kumar in the film ‘Anand’ but Rajesh Khanna put pressure on him and got that role in his name. He had agreed to work with Amitabh once in the film Anand and later this proved to be his biggest mistake.
