Veteran actor Raza Murad has recently addressed and dismissed a long-standing rumor involving himself, late superstar Rajesh Khanna, and actress Dimple Kapadia. The speculation suggested that Khanna had slapped Murad upon seeing him with Kapadia at Film City. What Raza Murad Said About The Incident? In a candid conversation on the podcast The Filmy Charcha, Murad clarified that such an incident never occurred. He stated, 'Neither I ever went to Film City with Dimple, nor such a situation ever happened, and never have Dimple Kapadia, Rajesh Khanna, and I 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.' Murad further recounted that the rumor originated from an article in a film newspaper called Urvashi, which claimed that he and Kapadia arrived at Film City together, leading to an altercation with Khanna. He emphasized that this narrative was entirely fabricated. 'I Didn't Even Make A Mention To Them' Reflecting on the impact of such rumors, Murad mentioned encountering the journalist who penned the article at a film party. Despite his anger, he chose not to confront the individual publicly, stating, '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. He further said, '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.' For the unversed, Murad and Kapadia have collaborated on several films, including Janbaaz (1986), Aag Ka Gola (1989), and Gunaah (1993). Similarly, Murad and Khanna shared screen space in movies like Namak Haraam (1973) and Riyasat (2014).

‘Rajesh Khanna slapped Raza Murad for spending time with Dimple Kapadia': Senior actor says he wanted to ‘beat up' person who spread this rumour
Late legendary superstar Rajesh Khanna married veteran actor Dimple Kapadia in 1973 shortly before the release of her debut film, Raj Kapoor's romantic drama Bobby. While he was with Kapadia, there was a rumour doing the rounds that she was seen spending a lot of time with fellow actor Raza Murad. Now, Murad has opened up on that rumour, dismissing it completely. '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,' recalled Murad. On the podcast The Filmy Charcha, Murad continued, '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.' Murad then recollected meeting the journalist, who wrote the article, at a film party. '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,' said Murad. Murad has worked with Kapadia in films like Feroz Khan's Janbaaz (1986), David Dhawan's Aag Ka Gola (1989), Babbar Subhash's Pyaar Ke Naam Qurbaan (1990), Mahesh Bhatt's Gunaah (1993), and Ajay Kashyap's Pathreela Rasta (1994).

Khanna and Kapadia separated in 1984, but got legally divorced only in 2012. Kapadia, who had quit films after her wedding to Khanna, returned to become a formidable lead actor in the 1980s. She continues to act in films and shows till today. Khanna passed away in 2012. They have two daughters who are former actors as well — author and columnist Twinkle Khanna and Rinke Khanna. Also Read: When Rajesh Khanna attacked Vinod Khanna for 'not honouring his words' as Gurdaspur MP, called Navjot Singh Sidhu a 'comedian' Rajesh Khanna's misbehaviour towards anyone who came close to Kapadia is rather well-documented. In his 2016 memoir Khullam Khulla, Kapadia's first co-star from Bobby and late actor Rishi Kapoor confessed he never liked Rajesh Khanna. Kapoor admitted he was possessive about Kapadia since she was his first heroine. She'd stolen a ring of Kapoor, but when Rajesh Khanna saw that ring on Kapadia's finger while proposing to her, he threw it away. That really angered Kapoor and further deepened his dislike towards Rajesh Khanna.

Meet actor, who was thrown out of a film after 16 flops, then one movie changed his life, became superstar, his net worth is Rs 1,600 crore; He is...
Amitabh Bachchan's ascent to superstardom rarely happened. After being dropped from Duniya Ka Mela and watching 16 films fail at the box office, the industry had counted him out. But, as Raza Murad notes, 'When the luck was in his favour, everything fell in place.' A lost opportunity for legends Before Zanjeer, Prakash Mehra offered the film to titans like Dilip Kumar, Dharmendra, Dev Anand, and Rajkumar—all declined. The movie's heavy focus on one man scared them away. It took a recommendation from Jaya Bachchan (then Bhaduri) for Prakash Mehra to finally take a chance on Amitabh—and history was made. In his chat with The Filmy Charcha, Murad remained adamant: 'You need 90% luck to succeed in the industry.' The right script meets the right actor—it's rarely just hard work that gets the throne. Zanjeer's enduring legacy For those of you who don't know, Zanjeer was more than a career revival—it was a cultural shift. It introduced a gritty Vijay, an honest cop driven by his past. It also elevated the Salim-Javed duo into legend and cemented Pran's charismatic Sher Khan, especially with unforgettable lines like 'Yeh police station hai, tumhare baap ka ghar nahin.' Salim-Javed's writing paired with Mehra's direction created a masterpiece. A hero forged from desperation, Vijay's journey from haunted soul to righteous crusader resonated deeply. Sher Khan's legacy—in his Pathani attire and principled presence—left a permanent mark on popular culture. Zanjeer wasn't just Amitabh's resurgence—it was the moment Bollywood transformed. A showcase of how fate can pivot entire careers, this film still stands as proof that sometimes, success is born from surviving and seizing rare opportunities. Amitabh Bachchan's net worth According to several media reports, today, his estimated net worth stands at a staggering Rs 1,600 crore (USD 190 million approx), making him one of India's wealthiest film icons.
