It is the 29th death anniversary of Raj Kapoor,who was one of the greatest and most successful director who started at a young age of 24 and also one of the best actor in the history of Indian cinema. He was a pioneer in making Hindi cinema bolder, by making his heroine show off their beauty on the silver screen.He had a fascination of seeing his heroines wearing a white saree in at least one scene in his films.
The first love comes in our mind is Nargis.The duo worked on 16 films together, including Awaara and Shree 420. Their films ‘Barsaat’ became the first hit from his studio. Remember the scene where Raj holds Nargis in a violin – that iconic scene became a logo of RK films studios.But when Nargis met Raj Kapoor, he was a married man,they parted away in 1956,Nargis then married Sunil Dutt in 1958.
Next love of RK was with Vyjantimala,both featured in two films, named Nazrana and Sangam.It as said that Raj Kapoor planted this story for the publicity of Sangam.Vyajanthimala, denied having an affair with the actor.Both ofthem never worked again after Sangam.
Next crush of RK was for Zeenat Aman,though she was not his heroine but she worked with him in Satyam Shivam Sundaram. During filming, Raj and Zeenat got close together. It was also rumoured that Nargis left Raj Kapoor due to his alleged womanising habit but later on Raj Kapoor realised that he is doing wrong.
