Dimple Khanna and Rajesh Khanna were officially married at the time, but they were separated. Sunny's ex-girlfriend, Amrita Singh, had verified that he was in a relationship with Dimple, but the claimed couple had always kept it under covers.
In an old interview, Amrita Singh was quoted as saying, “I think she’s having her cake and eating it too. She’s got nothing to lose and most importantly, she’s got her guy where she wants him. So what if it’s not heading anywhere? When you’ve already lived a life, you are happy with a relationship that’s at status quo.”
Dimple Kapadia and Sunny Deol, like many unfulfilled love stories, preferred to remain silent about their affair, which was never confirmed. Despite the fact that the news regarding their alleged undertaking eventually evaporated, there were still plenty of rumours in the industry. According to the sources, they dated 11 long years.
