Dimple Kapadia opens up about subjects close to her heart.
Seventeen months after Rajesh Khanna passed away, Dimple Kapadia has opened up and says that her late husband, whom she fondly addressed as Kakaji.was the greatest actor alive. At least to her, he was. She fell in love with a superstar who was unique. Everything he did was so different, including his gestures and expressions. Importantly, he was good with his fans. Just the other day, she was on a flight when a guy came up to her and said: 'Dimpleji, I was a big fan of your husband.'"
Quite a far cry from their ugly break-up which led to her moving out of their family home in Bandra, Aashirwad, with her two young daughters, Tina ( Twinkle) and Rinke, after 11 years of marriage.
Of late Dimple, otherwise a Juhu resident, has been spending a lot of time in Aashirwad. "I am shuttling between both my homes. But it's not a big deal. The houses are well-maintained and also not too far from each other," she says.
But, why do we see so little of her on the big screen? "I have done fewer films than I should have," she admits adding: "No regrets. I wanted to be at home. I like a slower pace of life."
Later this month, Dimple will be seen in a full-fledged role in Gurmmeet Singh's What The Fish and she is on a rare promotional spree. The actress explains: "I have realised that it has become essential to promote your film. God forbid, if a film doesn't run, I shouldn't be blamed for that."
