It is believed that Rajesh Khanna's shine started to fade in front of Amitabh Bachchan's rising stardom. As a result, he started to get very jealous of Big B. It became difficult for him to handle the downfall of his career. It also affected his personal life. After a few years of marriage, there was a rift between him and his wife Dimple Kapadia.
Rajesh Khanna talked about his downfall and personal life in an old interview. He said, 'I still remember the moment when I first came to know about super-success. It completely upsets you as if you are not a human being.'
Rajesh Khanna and Big B worked together in films like Anand, Namak Haram.
'I could not handle my failure like Big B'
Rajesh Khanna further said, 'It was a big surprise that the failure did not affect Amitabh Bachchan as much as it did me. After this failure, I became addicted to alcohol. I mean I am not a super human being. You are not Jesus Christ and I am not Mahatma Gandhi.
7 films flopped one after the other. One day I was very excited. It was raining and it was pitch dark. When I was alone on the roof, I lost my control and started shouting- O God, why do you test us poor people so much? Should we deny your existence?
After marrying superstar Rajesh Khanna, Dimple took a break from acting.
Rajesh Khanna had said- Dimple thought I had gone mad
Rajesh Khanna further said, 'I could not tolerate failure because I was very impressed with success. When Dimple and my staff heard me shouting, they ran thinking that I had gone mad.'
Dimple married Rajesh Khanna at the age of 15
Dimple married Rajesh Khanna at the age of just 15. After marriage, both of them became parents of two daughters. However, this marriage did not last long and both started living separately without getting divorced.
Despite the differences in the relationship, Dimple supported Rajesh Khanna as he was about to start his political career.
