Raza Murad On Rumours Of Rajesh Khanna Slapping Him Over Dimple Kapadia: "Baseless"
New Delhi: Veteran actor Raza Murad recently addressed a decades-old rumour involving himself, late superstar Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia. What's Happening Speaking on The Filmy Charcha podcast, Raza Murad firmly denied any truth to the speculation that he was involved in a confrontation with Rajesh Khanna over Dimple Kapadia. Rajesh Khanna married Dimple Kapadia in 1973, shortly before the release of her debut film Bobby, directed by Raj Kapoor. At the time, rumours had circulated that Kapadia was often seen spending time with fellow actor Raza Murad. Murad recalled, "There used to be a film newspaper called Urvashi. It was written there that Raza Murad and Dimple Kapadia came to Film City in the same car. Rajesh Khanna was shooting there. When he began talking to Dimple, Raza asked her to leave with him, leading to Rajesh Khanna slapping Raza Murad." He dismissed the incident, stating, "Neither I ever went to Film City with Dimple, nor such a situation ever happened, and never have Dimple Kapadia, Rajesh Khanna, and Raza Murad ever been in the same spot together. We used to shoot separately with Kakaji (Khanna) and Dimple. This baseless rumour didn't have even 1% truth in it. It was a 100% lie." Background Raza Murad also mentioned meeting the journalist who wrote the piece at a party later on. "I didn't even make a mention of that to them. I just met them like the way I always did. Because when you're at someone's party, you don't have the right to ruin that. It was possible I'd have entered into an argument, or even a brawl, with them, since they made such a damaging allegation towards me. But since it was someone else's party, there shouldn't be any bitterness or misbehaviour there. So I remained completely normal," he said. Over the years, Murad worked with Dimple Kapadia in several films, including Janbaaz (1986), Aag Ka Gola (1989), Pyaar Ke Naam Qurbaan (1990), Gunaah (1993), and Pathreela Rasta (1994). He also shared screen space with Khanna in projects such as Namak Haraam (1973), Tyaag (1977), Tinku (1977), Oonche Log (1985), Adhikar (1986), Begunaah (1991), and Riyasat (2014). Dimple Kapadia and RajeshKhanna separated in 1984, though their divorce was finalised only in 2012, the same year Khanna died. Kapadia had taken a break from acting after her marriage but made a strong comeback in the 1980s and continues to appear in films and web shows. The couple had two daughters, Twinkle Khanna and Rinke Khanna, both of whom were actors before moving on to other pursuits.

Amitabh Bachchan's co-star had acted in 500 films but couldn't own a house or car. He was actress Zeenat Aman's relative
He was seen alongside the biggest legends in Indian cinema — from Mughal-E-Azam to Do Bigha Zamin — but veteran character actor Murad , who acted in over 500 films, never owned a house or a car. In a sobering reminder of how fame doesn't always translate to financial security, his son, actor Raza Murad, opened up in a recent interview about the difficult realities behind the glamorous façade of showbiz. The anecdote is not only a tribute to his father's legacy but also a cautionary tale about the importance of financial planning. Speaking on the Filmy Charcha YouTube channel, Raza Murad shared that despite his father's prolific career and iconic filmography, their family faced severe financial constraints. He mentioned witnessing 'difficulties in life' and experiencing poverty. Recalling his childhood in Bhopal, he added that their home didn't even have electricity and that he would have to study for his exams under a lamp post. He would start at midnight and finish at 6 am. Raza Murad's father, Murad, known for his roles in films like Devdas (1955), Sanyasi, Yaadon Ki Baaraat, and Tarzan Goes to India (1962), was one of the most sought-after character actors of his era. Yet, Raza revealed that they 'never had a car' and 'used to live in a rented house.' He pointed out how many celebrated stars from the 1950s and 60s failed to save for the future and were left struggling in their later years. According to him, those actors should have planned for the future. While Raza made it clear that he had no intention to criticise his father's choices — 'he lived like he wanted to' — he said that he chose a different path after witnessing those struggles. Hence, the first thing he did after establishing himself in the film industry was to buy a house. Interestingly, the veteran actor was also related to Bollywood icon Zeenat Aman — she is his niece.

This actor worked in over 500 films, played a judge in 300 of them, never became a lead actor, his son is Bollywood's famous..., his name was…
In golden corridors of Indian cinema walks a towering figure whose face became familiar in nearly 500 films, spanning decades of shifting tastes and genres. Known for his versatility and unforgettable screen presence, this veteran's journey wasn't paved with ease. Recently, the next generation from his family, a son who's quietly observed the legacy and became popular for his villainous presence, stepped into spotlight, sharing untold stories about his father's early struggles and determination to stay relevant in an ever-changing industry. Veteran Actor Murad Here we are talking about renowned actor Murad, who worked in more than 500 films. He appeared in the role of a judge in 300 of these and became famous. But his popularity was quite different in terms of money. However, his son Raza Murad won the hearts of fans as a popular villain in the 80s and 90s. But recently, he gave the example of his father to talk about the importance of saving money. 'There Was No Electricity' In an interview with Filmi Charcha YouTube channel, Raza Murad said, 'I have seen hardships in life. I have faced poverty. There was no electricity in our house in Bhopal. I had to prepare for my exams under a lamppost. I would start studying at midnight and finish at 6 am.' When it was mentioned that many old actors in the film industry have faced financial problems in the last years of their lives, Raza Murad said that they are responsible for their own misfortune, as they should have planned better. 'You Should Think About Your Old Age' He further added, 'When you earn money, you should think about your old age. In our industry, even the crew members have their own houses. They have savings. They know that the income can stop any day and they know that their health can deteriorate. Why should you beg in front of anyone? I don't want to take any names, but many actors were extremely busy in their golden days. They earned a lot of money and fame, but they spent it all. When they grew up, they were forced to live in rented houses even though they lived in luxurious bungalows. I have seen them travel by auto rickshaw.' It is worth mentioning that Raza Murad's father was the famous character artist Murad, who worked in more than 500 films during his career, which started before India gained independence. He worked in famous films like 'Do Bigha Zameen,' 'Mughal-e-Azam,' 'Andaz' and even in the Hollywood project 'Tarzan Goes to India' and created a distinct identity among the fans.
