She is none other than Dimple Kapadia. At the age of 15, Dimple made her Bollywood debut alongside  Rishi Kapoor in Bobby (1973).

For the unversed, Twinkle was 15 years younger than Rajesh Khanna and used to call herself ‘the biggest fan of Kaka.’ The couple tied the knot in 1973 and welcomed two daughters Twinkle and Rinki Khanna after few years of marriage.

After 12 years, Dimple got separated from Rajesh Khanna and decided to comeback in films. She successfully established herself by starring in successful films like Saagar, Arjun, Narshima, Krantiveer, Janbaaz, Insaniyat Ke Dushman, Ram Lakhan, and Batwara.

Years after separation, Dimple and Rajesh Khanna maintained an amicable relationship and were always seen together at social gatherings. Even during Kaka’s last days, Dimple was always there with him. Despite their cordial relationship, Khanna didn’t leave anything for Dimple after his death and passed on everything to her two daughters Twinkle Khanna and Rinke Khanna. Reportedly, he made his will just weeks before his death, and decided to give everything to his daughters including his bungalow Aashirwad, bank accounts and other assets.
