Rajesh Khanna Secret Wife Emerges 13 Years After His Death

Thirteen years after the passing of Bollywood legend Rajesh Khanna, actress Anita Advani has shocked fans by claiming she was secretly married to the superstar. In a recent magazine interview, Anita revealed that Rajesh Khanna performed a private marriage ritual at home, where he gave her a mangalsutra, bangles, and applied sindoor on her forehead, declaring her as his wife.

According to Anita, they never made their relationship public because in the film industry, personal lives are often kept private. Since media reports had already linked her to Rajesh Khanna, they felt there was no need to formally announce their marriage.
