Anita Advani Discusses Rajesh Khanna's Adoption and Impact on His Trust
Rajesh Khanna, Hindi cinema's first superstar, was deeply affected by learning he was adopted, according to Anita Advani, who claimed a close relationship with him. She said this revelation, along with childhood trauma and betrayals in personal and professional relationships, led him to lose trust in people and become increasingly withdrawn. Advani also recalled Khanna's distant meeting with his biological sister and noted that many misunderstood his changing personality as difficulty rather than emotional pain.
