Rakhi, being one of the most celebrated actresses in 70's and 80's, delivered some immoral films, but besides her professional success, her personal life was facing some turbulence. While she was at the peak of her career, she married writer and poet Gulzar. But before marriage, Gulzar laid a condition that she would not act in films after marriage. Despite her love for the art, she decided to compromise for her love. But later, she faced repercussions of this bet. Whenever she would get an offer, fights started picking up between the duo, so much so that it even led to physical fights and abuse. A year later, the couple called it quits and parted their ways. Now at 77, Rakhi is back with a bang, and her comeback is proof that while she was away from the limelight, she was never away from the hearts of her fans. And, if an artist is truly passionate about their art, their comeback, no matter when they happen, will speak volumes.
