Meet actress, who was madly in love with Vinod Khanna, used to scare Sunny Deol on sets, single at 67, her name is..., husband was...
The 70s saw Vinod Khanna ruling the industry with his intense performances, charisma and dashing looks. The actor made his debut with Sunil Dutt's Man Ka Meet in 1969, and quickly became the heartthrob of the nation. Apart from glitz and glam, very little is known about the late superstar's personal life. Did you know that he was reportedly dating Amrita Singh and the two were about to get married?
Amrita Singh and Vinod Khanna first met on the sets of the film Batwara . Right from their first meet-up, Amrita reportedly fell head-over-heels in love with him. Sources claim that she was already engaged to former head coach of the India national cricket team Ravi Shastri. However, after some time, the two broke off their engagement and parted ways.
Amrita was 12-years younger than Khanna at the time, and was madly in love with her. The two began dating, and their relationship turned series with speculations soon buzzed about their marriage plans. However, everything was going hunky-dory until, Amrita's mother, Rukhsana Sultana intervened and pointed fingers at their 12-year age gap and Khanna's divorce with his wife Geetanjali. According to reports, she also had a problem with his religion, and was against her daughter getting married to a Hindu boy. Amrita and Vinod then eventually parted ways. Finally, she got married to Saif Ali Khan, and Vinod found love in Kavita Daftary.
Interestingly, apart from her serious relationship with Vinod Khanna, Amrita also garnered limelight for her alleged romance with actor Sunny Deol. In 1993, the two made their Bollywood debut with the film Betaab. Audiences loved their on-screen chemistry, but their off-screen camaraderie too created a lot of buzz.
There were reports that Sunny Deol used to get intimidated by Amrita Singh's wonderful and extroverted personality, and used to be scared while doing romantic scenes with her. Well, one thing led to another, and their off-screen romance was definitely brewing until she came to know about his wife Pooja Deol. Before starting off in the industry, Sunny was already married and hid his relationship from the world.
When the news of Deol's marriage broke out, Amrita was heartbroken and eventually distanced himself from him. Also, Amrita's mother had an issue to her daughter's relationship with a married man. Amrita Singh and Sunny Deol had no choice left, but to part ways, and never collaborated again for any project.
