This actor gave 10 hits with same heroine, fell madly in love with her, broke up after..., blamed Bollywood for..., his name was...
Dara Singh was regarded as one of the most popular and admired names in Bollywood and Indian Television industry. Before venturing into films, he became a household name in the world of wrestling. He garnered massive respect from fans for his unparalleled willpower and physical strength. Despite working in several films, he is till date remembered for his iconic portrayal of Lord Hanuman in Ramanand Sagar's mythological series Ramayan. Who was Dara Singh in love with?
Though having a macho personality, he was otherwise softie at heart, and this came through when he fell madly in love with a Bollywood actress. The lady for whom he fell head-over-heels in love with was none other than Mumtaz, one of the most prominent actresses of Hindi cinema.
Dara Singh and Mumtaz's romance started on the sets of Faulad, a movie that saw the inception of their impeccable on-screen chemistry. While other top actresses of the time shied away from working with Dara Singh, Mumtaz herself stepped up and took the offer. The two then went on to collaborate in several hit films such as Veer Bhimsen (1964), Samson (1964), Hercules (1964), Aandhi Aur Toofan (1964) , and others.
Their professional relationship soon became personal, and particularly because their families were also deeply connected- Dara Singh's brother, SS Randhawa, was married to Mumtaz's sister. Why Dara Singh and Mumtaz broke up?
Dara Singh was captivated by Mumtaz's beauty and charm, and was eventually heartbroken when their relationship didn't meet a happy ending. The distance between the two increased after Mumtaz's career soared and she started getting a lot of film offers, due to which she had to take a step back from her love life, and focus on her career.
The demands of the industry and their changing dynamics became the reason for the breakup. Heartbroken Dara Singh subsequently blamed Bollywood for their separation, the world of glamour, fame and hectic work schedule drifted them apart.

Guneet Monga: From Oscars to winning hearts
But the road, of course, wasn't easy. She noted, 'You know, being young, people don't take you seriously; there is so much, like raising money, executing very large projects, sales, marketing, the entire process of it. There is one aspect, which is logistics, and the other aspect is the creatives. Everywhere, finding your voice and being heard was a challenge. But I think all we can do is work, put our heads down, and focus. Our work then speaks louder than words. Today, Guneet is not just a producer; she's a name that represents meaningful storytelling in Indian cinema. When it comes to choosing what kind of stories she wants to back, she follows her instincts. 'It's deeply intuitive and has to be something that resonates with me and my life experiences,' she shared. Her role as a producer, she explained, is all about balance. 'Depends on the scripts. Again, it is also important to read something and be able to personally connect with it and understand what I can bring to it as a producer. As a producer, I sit between equity and the arts. It's one thing to find something and like it, and then there's the other aspect of what my journey on this project will be like and how I can elevate it. That is what matters to me in a wholesome way,' she said, adding, 'Another aspect is the relationship with the director, because it's two to three years of work. So, it's important for that connection to be healthy too, and for everyone to take each other's feedback.' Reflecting on one of the proudest moments of her career, she spoke about the unforgettable Oscar win for The Elephant Whisperers: 'Surreal! And also to see my director Kartiki Gonsalves as a first-time director and win an Oscar with me.'
