Anita Advani Says She Has Not Seen Rajesh Khanna’s Will, Frames Ongoing Fight as One for Dignity

New interviews revive her years-long grievance over recognition following the actor’s 2012 death.

Overview

  • In fresh media appearances on February 14, Advani reiterated that she has never been shown the will and said her pursuit centers on respect rather than money.
  • She described a nearly 12-year relationship with Khanna until his 2012 death, noting he remained legally married to Dimple Kapadia after their separation.
  • Advani said she believes the will named several people but that she still does not know the document’s specifics.
  • She alleged a memoir about her life with Khanna was mishandled, including his name appearing as “Rakesh Khanna,” which she says the publisher blamed on an intern using generative AI.
  • Advani said she took legal steps over the book’s handling but later withdrew the case due to personal constraints, while questions around the estate remain unresolved publicly.
