Veteran actress Moushumi Chatterjee, known for her roles in Roti Kapda Aur Makaan and Anuraag, once spoke about a jaw-dropping comment from the late Rajesh Khanna. According to her, Rajesh Khanna once brazenly asked her if the father of her child was her husband Jayanta Mukherjee or the dashing Vinod Mehra. Moushumi revealed that she didn’t let this slide and hit back with a remark that left Rajesh Khanna utterly stunned. In a candid interview with Lehren Retro, Moushumi recalled how Rajesh had audaciously asked her whether she was expecting Vinod Mehra’s baby. It was when she was pregnant while shooting with Rajesh Khanna for a film.
To this Moushumi said, “Yes, it was Rajesh Khanna. He played dirty many times. Today, he is no more. I had even gone to see him during his last stages and he was praising me. He told my daughter, ‘Ma must be mad but we were all scared of her. She doesn’t believe in any nonsense.'”
She went on to add how Vinod Mehra was actually the best man at her wedding with Jayant Mukherjee (Babu). “Babu ke saath woh padhte the St Xavier’s mein. We lived in the same building. I was involved with everyone. I never lacked anything in my married life that I’d look out for something. ”
Talking about Rajesh Khanna’s comment on her pregnancy, Moushumi said, “Yes, I gave him back. I asked him, ‘Is it Rishi Kapoor’s child or yours?” Moushumi was referring to Rajesh and Dimple’s children and mentioned that her comment left him utterly speechless.
Rajesh Khanna was married to Dimple Kapadia, and they had two daughters, Twinkle and Rinke Khanna. Moushumi married Jayanta Mukherjee when she was 15, and they had two daughters, Megha and Payal. Sadly, Payal was diagnosed with diabetes at a young age and passed away in 2019 at 45.
