Rajesh Khanna ignores Dimple in life and death

Rajesh Khanna, the first superstar of Bollywood, had reportedly made a will just a few weeks before his death.
 
According to the will, the actor has not left anything for his estranged wife Dimple Kapadia and neither has he left any share for his long-time live-in partner, Anita Advani.
 
CNN-IBN reported that Rajesh Khanna has left all his property to his daughters Twinkle Khanna and Rinkie Khanna.

The property includes his bungalow Aashirwad, bank accounts and other assets. The will was read out in the presence of all his family members.
 
Rajesh Khanna passed away on July 18. His death was mourned by the entire nation and he was given a heart warming farewell by his family, friends and fans.
 
The actor is survived by his estranged wife, Dimple Kapadia, his two daughters Twinkle Khanna and Rinkie Khanna.

His elder daughter Twinkle is married to actor Akshay Kumar and his younger daughter Rinkie is married to businessman Sameer Saran.

It is reported that after Dimple Kapadia married Rajesh Khanna their relationship slowly began taking an ugly turn, until they finally decided to live separately. He did not let  Dimple act after marriage.

He was never available for her and his drinking habits made things worse. Dimple has always been a very caring and supportive wife to Khanna.

Many years after their separation the two reconciled and put their bitter feelings behind. Dimple supported him through ups and down, even though they remained separate.
 
Just a few days after his death, reports surfaced in the media that Khanna’s live-in partner of 10 years, Anita Advani, who had been sharing his bungalow Aashirwad on Carter Road for the past decade, has served a notice to his family to safeguard herself from being ousted from Khanna’s residence.

It is quite possible that the superstar had an inkling of what might happen after his death so he made a very safe property will leaving everything behind to his daughters.

If he had left anything for Dimple questions might have been raised about others who took care of him and also lived with him for a long time.

It is also possible that the superstar had a chat with his estranged wife about the will and both decided on the heir. But then these are just speculations, what actually the actor thought can never be known.

However, now that the he has left the bungalow to his two daughters, the family plans to turn it into a museum now.
