Raj Kapoor the showman of Bollywood has
love affair with Nargis it ishowever the
most unforgettable one.Their chemistry was great both on-screen and off-screen!
They were in love and it showed. Although, Aag was their first film together,
their relationship started to bloom with Barsaat.
The song from Shree 420, ‘Pyar hua iqrar
hua’ is still considered as the classic display of romance in Hindi-films.
Apparently, the duo were head over heels in love but their love story did not
materialize...So what went wrong ??
There are 3 main reasons behind the break
up.
First was Raj Kapoor's romantic link up
with other heroins, he was never a faithful husband or lover. And one day
Nargis caught Raj Kapoor in R.K. Studio's cottage with Meena Kumari. Nargis was
furious and that was the starting of the end of their love story.
Second reason was Krishna Kapoor, Raj
Kapoor's wife. Raj Kapoor was married since long and had 3 kids, though he had
many affairs but was never keen on divorcing Krishna. Raj-Nargis affair lased
for almost 10 years but in the end Nargis realized that she will always be a
second women in his life (with many others) and Raj has no planes whatsoever to
marry her.
Third reason was professional. When
Raj-Nargis went to Moscow, there Nargis realized that she and Raj Kapoor were
not on equal footing, as a co-star of the all his movies till then her
popularity was nothing compared to Raj. Every one was just after his, loved
him, venerated him for the movies he made and the roles he played. People there
didn't even care to know the name of Nargis, she was Mrs. Kapoor for them.
Nargis felt that in Raj Kapoor's movies hero is all important and female
character is all dominated by the male one. They had argument and Nargis left Raj
and Moscow.
When Nargis left Raj Kapoor was suffering
from sever cold and fever. The south Indian actress/dancer Padmini happened to
be there in Moscow in the same hotel, she nursed him through his cold and high
fever. That was the beginning of Raj-Padmini love story. Raj Kapoor even told a few friends that he
made ‘Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai’ as a thank you gesture to Padmini.
Actually the Nargis chapter closed like a
heavy door, slamming shut the most intense and creative phase of Raj kapoor’s
life. Nargis had been the centre that held his working life for a decade. Raj
kapoor now needed another heroine and a shoulder to lean on. Padmini, one of
the famous Travancore sisters, was a natural successor.

Coming to the unfortunate salacious gossip
that was generated during and after the release of Sangam, the fact of the
matter was that RK was far too enamoured of getting publicity and grabbing the
headlines.
And that included the rumours that I was
romantically involved with him. It was all the manipulative doing of RK
banner's PR drive and unnecessarily this nonsense spread like wild fire even
before one could think of dousing those flames. Nobody from the media bothered
to seek my point of view.
This was absolutely baseless and made me
very angry. It hurt his family and my family in equal measure. Like others,
even his family thought it to be true. And Yagamma and father were naturally
very upset. But as far as my clean image and reputation was concerned, it
remained untouched.
I had observed during those four years of
the making of Sangam that RK was not obsessed about women like he had been made
out to be. Of course, he had this creative compulsion to depict passionate
scenes.
But this bit about catering to this image
to show that he was always involved with the leading lady of his film (not
outside, but only in his films) was definitely generated by RK Studio's
publicity wing.
Raj Kapoor also had an affair with the
great dancer/actress Padmini.
