Rajesh Khanna On Dimple Kapadia Career: Dimple Kapadia has once again become active in acting. Dimple Kapadia was once included in the list of top actresses. But when her career was at its peak, she married Rajesh Khanna. After marriage, Dimple said goodbye to her film career and started raising her children.
In an interview published in the 1990 issue of Movie Magazine, Rajesh Khanna had admitted that he did not allow Dimple Kapadia to work after marriage. He said that he wanted Dimple to look after his children. At the same time, he encouraged Twinkle to act. In such a situation, Twinkle Khanna had asked him the reason for banning her mother Dimple from working.
‘I wanted a mother for my children….’
Rajesh Khanna had said- ‘I had no problem with my wife working. But when I married Dimple, I wanted a mother for my children. I did not want them to be raised by servants and I had no idea of Dimple’s talent. Bobby was still not freed.’
Twinkle had asked this question to her father
The late actor further said- ‘Recently when I told my daughter Twinkle that if she wants to act in a film, I will make a film for her. She said that you will let me act but you refused mummy. I said that the simple reason for this is that I am your father, not your husband.
‘It is cruel to put restrictions on talent…’
Rajesh had said- ‘Besides, if I had known at that moment that Bobby would prove her talent, I would not have stopped her. Putting restrictions on talent is cruelty. By the time I saw Bobby, our first daughter was born.’
