'Sometimes friendship turns into something else'
Late actor Rishi Kapoor had appeared as a guest in an old episode of Aap Ki Adalat. The show's host had asked him about his father Raj Kapoor and Nargis' affair. On this, the actor had said- We respect the fact that a filmmaker becomes friends with someone while working. Sometimes this friendship turns into something else.
We work in a creative field. We take inspiration from each other. We trust each other. After all, we are humans and humans will love other humans. Sometimes accidents happen to married people too. I think this is a part of life.
We are not ashamed of this chapter in our lives. This is history and we respect it.
Rishi Kapoor had also mentioned his father's affair in his book
Rishi Kapoor had also mentioned his father Raj Kapoor's affair in his book. He had written that when Raj Kapoor got involved with Vyjayanthimala, his mother had objected because she had earlier faced his affair with Nargis.
The actor further wrote- I was very young when my father had an affair with Nargis ji. That is why it did not affect me much. I don't even remember anything going wrong at home. But when my father was involved with Vyjayanthimala, I went to Natraj Hotel on Marine Drive with my mother.
Raj Kapoor had said- Neither my wife can be an actress nor my wife can be an actress
Raj Kapoor himself had talked about these issues on Prasar Bharati. He had said that neither Nargis nor his wife Krishna ever felt cheated. He had further said- I had drawn a line from the beginning. It was a fact that my wife is not my actress and my actress is not my wife. My wife means the mother of my children. My domestic life was somewhere the same.
