Raj Kapoor’s youngest son Raj Kapoor, who is called the show man of Bollywood, made his Bollywood debut with the film Ram Teri Ganga Maili. The film became a hit but not because of Rajiv Kapoor but because of Mandakini bathing under the waterfall. But do you know that there was a rift between Raj Kapoor and his younger son Rajiv Kapoor after this film.
Due to Mandakini, there was a rift between father and son: According to Madhu Jain’s book ‘Kapoornama’, Rajiv Kapoor made his Bollywood debut with the 1983 film ‘Ek Jaan Hai Hum’. But his career did not pick up pace. So Raj Kapoor made the film ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’ in 1985 and relaunched his son Rajiv. But it benefited Mandakini instead of Rajiv.
The film became a super hit and Mandakini became an overnight star. After the film Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Rajiv Kapoor did not get offers for many films, while Mandakini got a line of films. Every director wanted to cast her in his film. As the film became popular, Rajiv Kapoor got angry with his father Raj Kapoor. After this film, there was a lot of rift between father and son.
Rajiv did not even attend Raj Kapoor’s funeral: Rajiv worked in films like ‘Lover Boy’, ‘Hum To Chale Pardes’, ‘Angare’, ‘Thank You’, but he could not make his mark in Bollywood. According to media reports, Rajiv Kapoor was so angry that he did not even attend the funeral after the death of his father.
Mandakini is making a comeback: Mandakini was born on July 30, 1963 in Meerut. Her real name is Yasmin Joseph. Mandakini, who has worked in many superhit films, has been missing from the industry for the last 24 years. She was last seen in the 1996 film Jordaar. Now once again Mandakini is stepping into the film world. Mandakini is making a comeback with her music video ‘Maa O Maa’. The first look poster of the song has been released.
