Legendary Actor Rajesh Khanna Changed His Will Before Death
Rajesh Khanna released numerous films during the 1970s, which caused his fans to turn wild. Rajesh Khanna continuously appeared in both news about himself and his movies.
Rajesh Khanna left the world in 2012. The actor produced his last will one month prior to his death. He omitted his wife, Dimple Kapadia, from the legal document the month before his demise. Rajesh Khanna specified in his last will that he gave the Ashirwad bungalow to his daughters Twinkle and Rinke. The actor excluded Dimple Kapadia from his will. His live-in partner Anita Advani had claimed rights over the property. Not only this, she had also sent a legal notice to Rajesh Khanna’s family.
She had sent a legal notice to Rajesh Khanna’s family a day before his death. She had called herself a surrogate wife. She had said- ‘I took care of him, handled his blessings, and not only this, I also kept the fast of Karva Chauth for him.’ After Anita’s claims, Rajesh Khanna’s family distanced themselves from her during the actor’s last days and kept her out of the funeral.
Rajesh Khanna was diagnosed with cancer and the legendary actor suffered a lot during his last days. His close friend Bhupesh Rasin revealed that Rajesh had come to talking terms and agreed to name everything to their daughters. During that time, only Rinke Khanna was with her father during his last days, Twinkle Khanna was pregnant thus she couldn’t travel much to see her father’s deteriorating health.
In an interview, Anita had said that "she had demanded compensation for taking care of and supporting Rajesh Khanna. I was with him during his loneliness. She had told me that Rajesh Khanna dreamed that his bungalow Ashirwad should be converted into a museum. I had also talked about this but after his death, it was ignored. According to Yasser Usman’s book Kuch To Log Kahenge, Rajesh never wanted for himself, he gave everything to his children. True to his words, the legendary actor named everything in his daughter’s name, while his wife, Dimple Kapadia stood empty handed".
