Rajesh Khanna said, “I had no problems about my wife working. But when I married Dimple, I wanted a mother for my children. I didn’t want them to be brought up by servants. And I had no idea of Dimple’s talent; Bobby was still not released. Recently, when I told one of my daughters, Twinkle, that if she would like to act in a film, I would produce one for her. She said, ‘You will let me act but to mummy you say no.’ I said, ‘For the simple reason that I am your father and not your husband.’”
The actor continued, “Besides if I knew at that moment that Bobby would prove her talent, I wouldn’t have stopped her. To curb talent is cruel. By the time I saw Bobby, our first daughter was already born.” Rajesh Khanna passed away in 2012.
On the professional front, Dimple Kapadia was last seen in Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya and Murder Mubarak.
