New Delhi:
Hindi cinema actor Raj Kumar may have done less films, but his name became immortal in the history of Hindi cinema through those films. Raj Kumar made his own place in that era with his acting and dialogue delivery. Raj Kumar’s real name was Kulbhushan Pandit and he left his police job to work in films. Raj Kumar is as much in the news for his films as he is for his personal life. Actually, Raj Kumar, who looked very hot and arrogant from outside, was also very emotional from inside.
It is said that Raj Kumar fell in love with Hema Malini while working together in films. Raj Kumar was a big fan of Hema Malini. Raj Kumar wanted to keep Hema Malini close to him somehow and for this he asked director FC Mehra to cast Hema Malini in place of Vyjayanti Mala in one of his films. That film was ‘Lal Patthar’. However, Hema Malini had rejected the offer of this film. Then Rajkumar himself convinced him to work in this film. When Hema Malini was in a relationship with Dharmendra, Raj Kumar’s love could not blossom.
Raj Kumar worked with legendary actress Meena Kumari in the superhit film ‘Pakeezah’. It is said that while working in this film, Raj Kumar started liking Meena Kumari. He was so impressed by the beauty of Meena Kumari that he even forgot his dialogues in front of her. However, because Meena Kumari was married, she could never express her love. At that time Meena Kumari was married to film director Kamal Amrohi.
After failing in the love of these two beauties of the film industry, Raj Kumar married air hostess Jennifer. They both have three children, Puru Raj, Panini Raj and Awacharya Pandit. Raj Kumar has done hit films like Saudagar, Mother India, Paigam, Dil Ek Mandir, Waqt, Lal Patthar, Tiranga.
