Raj Kapoor’s daughter Rima Kapoor, today known as Rima Jain, was to marry Kumar Gaurav, Rajendra Kumar’s son. However, their engagement was short lived. While Gaurav’s Love Story co-star Vijayta Pandit was the rumoured to be the reason, the actress’s recently opened up about their broken engagement and clarified that she wasn’t the reason.
Instead, she noted that she had heard rumours of his affair with Sunil Dutt and Nargis’ daughter Namrata Dutt. “I got to know that he was having an affair with Namrata Dutt. So he broke off his engagement with Reema, and I had absolutely no involvement with that,” Vijayta told Lehren Retro.
She did admit that she and Gaurav were in love with each other when he got engaged to Rima. “Rajendra Kumar saw his son getting head over heels in love with me, so him and Raj Kapoor decided to get Kumar Gaurav and Reema engaged. I even attended the ceremony, I saw the huge diamond ring (Reema) she made him wear.
I told him it looked so beautiful, and then he got angry said, ‘If you don’t like it, I will throw it away’...
I ran away thinking he was going crazy...
even after the engagement, Bunty would come to my house, I never went to his home,” she recalled. “My mother and father were so upset and scared. My father said he will ask Rajendra Kumar to ensure his son does not visit us now that he is engaged to be married.
Bunty told my mother he would marry only me, despite his engagement. She told him this was impossible and then he swore that he would marry me. And then I don’t know what happened,” she added.
