\"When Vyjanthimala was one of the best actresses in Indian cinema, known for her movies like ‘Naya Daur’, ‘Madhumati’, ‘Sangam’ and more. While she achieved a top position among actresses of those times along with others like Waheeda Rehman<\/a>, Madhubala, her journey wasn’t easy. She faced a lot of body shaming and later was also in the news for rumours of her relationship with Raj Kapoor<\/a> when he was already married to Krishna Kapoor. Her entry into films came at just 16, with the 1949 Tamil hit Vaazhkai. But her road to success wasn\u2019t always smooth \u2014 she endured body shaming early in her career. In her memoir Bonding, she recalled how Nagin director Nandlal Jaswantlal would humiliate her in public: \u201cYou are too plump and still have a lot of baby fat. You have such a round face, that it fills the whole screen. Don\u2019t look like an idli.\u201d The taunts often left her with \u201ctears shimmering in my eyes, all set to roll down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vyjayanthimala\u2019s career choices were overseen by her grandmother, Yadugiri Devi, who mistrusted Raj Kapoor\u2019s reputation with women. Even so, gossip linked the two actors, especially after Sangam. Vyjayanthimala denied any affair in her memoir, calling it a publicity stunt: \u201cManufacturing the romance because of his hunger for publicity.\u201dBut Rishi Kapoor<\/a>\u2019s autobiography Khullam Khulla told a different story. He wrote about moving out of the family home with his mother, Krishna Kapoor, during the alleged affair: \u201cI remember moving into the Natraj Hotel on Marine Drive with my mom during the time papa was involved with Vyjayanthimala. From the hotel, we shifted for two months into an apartment in Chitrakoot. My father had bought the apartment for mom and us. He did all he could to woo her back, but my mother wouldn\u2019t give in until he had ended that chapter of his life.\u201dVyjayanthimala and Raj Kapoor appeared together in just two films \u2014 Nazrana (1961) and Sangam (1964). Then, in 1968, at the height of her stardom, she stunned the industry by marrying the Kapoor family\u2019s doctor, Dr. Chamanlal Bali, and stepping away from films. Dance, however, remained a constant in her life through stage performances. Reflecting on her decision, she wrote, \u201cI made the wisest decision of my life, I left the films at the right time. I have no regrets because I worked with some of the best.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vyjanthimala was one of the best actresses in Indian cinema, known for her movies like ‘Naya Daur’, ‘Madhumati’,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":65438,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,52120,447,134,52119,52122,27223,52121,42225,52118,52117,52123],"class_list":["post-65437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-body-shaming-in-bollywood","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-krishna-kapoor-marriage","tag-naya-daur-actress","tag-raj-kapoor","tag-raj-kapoor-family","tag-rishi-kapoor","tag-rishi-kapoor-autobiography","tag-vyjanthimala-raj-kapoor-affair","tag-waheeda-rehman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
