The alleged romantic involvement between Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia has remained shrouded in secrecy, never surfacing in public discussions. Despite being a hot topic in the 80s, the duo refrained from acknowledging it. However, in 2017, a video of them holding hands in London went viral, reigniting old speculations.
The video captures Sunny in a casual grey t-shirt paired with cargo pants, while Dimple exudes elegance in a beige dress adorned with a black scarf and white shoes. This footage caused a stir on social media, prompting reactions that ranged from curiosity to criticism.
Critics took to social platforms to voice their opinions, with comments like: “Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia’s affair still continues. Wonder how his wife accepts this. Bollywood’s strange relationships,” and “Sunny Deol is the latest example of ‘men are trash’. He has a wife but is overseas with Dimple Kapadia.”
The rumored link between Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia gained momentum during their collaboration on the 1984 film “Manzil Manzil.” By the time their second movie, “Arjun,” was completed in 1985, reports of their strong connection circulated. The pair went on to feature in three more films, fueling continuous headlines about their alleged relationship.
Intriguingly, there were even claims that Sunny Deol, despite his marriage to Pooja and fathering two sons, granted Dimple Kapadia the status of a de facto wife. Allegedly, this connection was cited as a significant factor contributing to Dimple’s separation from the late actor Rajesh Khanna.
Sunny Deol, father of Karan and Rajveer, remains married to Pooja. Conversely, Dimple Kapadia entered matrimony with superstar Rajesh Khanna in 1973, shortly before her debut film “Bobby” hit screens. The couple welcomed two daughters, Twinkle Khanna in 1974 and Rinke in 1977. Although they parted ways in 1984, they never pursued a formal divorce, adding a layer of intrigue to their relationship timeline.
