Court rejects Anita’s plea for legal status to her marriage with Rajesh Khanna

The Bombay High Court has dismissed the plea of actress Anita Advani seeking legal status to her marriage with late superstar Rajesh Khanna.
The court upheld the earlier verdict of the Dindoshi sessions court. The case has been mired in controversy ever since Rajesh Khanna passed away in 2012, amid a long-drawn legal battle between his family and Anita Advani.
A bench of Justice Sharmila Deshmukh, after hearing the arguments of both the sides, said in clear terms that the appeal is dismissed. However, the detailed order in this matter is yet to be issued. The court also heard the arguments on behalf of Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna and Dimple Kapadia.
Anita Advani said that she was in a relationship with Rajesh Khanna for a long time and it was like a marriage. She had also alleged that she was evicted from her famous bungalow after the actor’s death. (IANS)
