Rajesh Khanna’s family demanded in court

A metropolitan court asked the (late) Rajesh Khanna’s family members (wife Dimple Kapadia, daughters Twinkle and Rinke, son-in-law Akshay Kumar) to appear before him “without fail” on December 4. This was done for them to reach a settlement w.r.t. the complaint filed against them by Anita Advani, who claimed to be the late actor’s live-in partner and was asking for maintenance from the estate of the late actor.

Anita claimed that she was entitled to maintenance to support herself, as she lived with the actor in the ‘shared household’ (defined under the Domestic Violence Act as a place where a man and woman live as husband and wife)

After hearing Anita’s complaint (which was filed under the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act), Magistrate S.S. Deshpande suggested that both the sides should settle the issue cordially. He also added that, if they agreed, then, he would refer the case to a mediator the same day.
