The husband of Dimple Kapadia, Rajesh, is an evergreen star who hogs the limelight even years after his demise. ‘Kaka’ passed away on July 18, 201,2, at the age of 69. His name has always been linked with his rumoured girlfriend, Anita Advani, who has now, in a fresh interview, claimed that she was not allowed to enter and see Rajesh’s last rites as bouncers were kept.
Rajesh Khanna’s rumoured girlfriend, Anita Advani, shares of being kept away from his last rites
Anita recently sat down for an interview with Saheli. She shared that on the Chautha ceremony of Rajesh Khanna, basically the fourth day after he passed away, Anita was barred from entering. Her friends, staff members supported her and advised her to visit Kaka and pay her last respects, but Anita shared:
“Unhone mere liye bouncers bitha rakhe thei ki mei naa aau. Yeh mujhe khabar mili mere friend se jinhone kahan ki aap aane wali hain Chauthe pe. Maine kaha ha toh kehti hai ki waha bouncers bitha rakhe hai aur aapko andar aane nahi denge. Maine kaha ki aise kaise toh maine kaha ki aap phir hum kehte hai ki aap aaye. Hum log aapke saath hai. Agar aapko kuch hua toh hum sab aapke saath nikle thei Usme mera staff bhi tha, close friends bhi thei, unhone kaha aap aao.”
Anita Advani reveals becoming silent, knowing that she was forbidden from Rajesh Khanna’s antim sanskar
Anita further revealed in the interview that she was shocked, as amid the sea of fans and industry folks who had come to pay their last respect, Anita was not allowed to give ‘Kaka’ her final darshan. The actor was put to rest by his near and dear ones, while Anita, who claimed to be in a live-in relationship, was not even allowed to go and see ‘Kaka’ during the chautha ceremony. She added:
“Mei chup hoh gayi. Mei sunn hoh gayi aur kaha ki Kakaji ke chauthe pe jaake yeh tamasha karu. Mei jau yeh log bouncers bulaye aur itne camera, journalist thei. Sab neeche khade thei ki mein jaungi toh puchenge. Kahiyo ne mere sister ko kaha ki hum aapko camera dete hain. Humne bhi suna ki bouncers aare hai. Aap jao aur hum bataenge ki aapke saath kya hua. Maine kaha arey baapre etna sombre day pe chauthe ke din kaun gir sakta hai, nai aane dia mukhe.”

Anita Advani reveals that Rajesh Khanna had mood swings
Anita did have a very close relationship with ‘Kaka’ for many years, especially during the end of his life. Anita, earlier in the interview, shared that she had to deal with Rajesh’s mood swings and struggled with his irritating behaviour. She shared her experience of starting living with Rajesh back in 2000 and revealed that during drinking, Rajesh Khanna was quiet. However, after a few drinks, he would become aggressive and angry. Anita, in the past, has also claimed to be in a live-in relationship with Rajesh and shared taking care of him when his health deteriorated. Although her claims were squashed by the family of Rajesh Khanna. Anita added:
“I don’t think it was frustration over his career, but he would just be irritated by little things, and anything said by anyone could send him over the edge.”
