Old gossip articles were re-visited with a new angle attached to it. Some of the old gossip mongers remembered Raj Kapoor sharing this incidence with them and thus started finding a striking resemblance between Dimple Kapadia and young Nargis.

In the movie ‘Bobby’, Raj Kapoor kept Dimple’s introduction scene in the same style like how he had met Nargis for the first time. Along with these positive reactions, also came a terrifying rumor of Dimple Kapadia being the illegitimate child of Raj Kapoor and his rumoured love interest Nargis. The movie was in news due to its path-breaking performances by the newbies- Rishi Kapoor’s lover boy image, Dimple’s boldness along with her marriage to the superstar Rajesh Khanna, music and many more. ‘Bobby’ was a huge hit which introduced Raj Kapoor’s second son Rishi Kapoor along with a new girl Dimple Kapadia. This gossip faded out by the release of Raj Kapoor’s directed film ‘Bobby’ (1973). Though the media, was not fascinated by this story and kept speculating rumours related to Raj Kapoor’s affair with Nargis. The sight of Raj Kapoor made her bit nervous, due to which she ended up smudging dough across her forehead. The moment he rang the bell, Nargis was frying bhajias in the kitchen and came to open the door as there was no one else at home. It was a wonderful memory where Raj Kapoor went to her house to sign her for his directorial debut film ‘Aag’ (1947). In his interviews, Raj Kapoor often shared the incident of meeting Nargis for the first time. Together they did many films out of which films like ‘Barsaat’, ‘Awara’, ‘Shree 420’, ‘Chori Chori’ and ‘Andaz’ are considered to be one of their finest works. And it is notable that this list starts with the iconic screen pairing of Raj Kapoor and Nargis. When we talk about legendary screen pairs- names like Dilip Kumar-Vyjayanthimala, Dharmendra-Hema Malini, Rajesh Khanna-Sharmila Tagore, Rishi Kapoor-Neetu Singh, Amitabh Bachchan-Rekha, Anil Kapoor-Madhuri Dixit, Shahrukh Khan-Kajol undeniably pops up into the mind.
