    5 Bollywood Actresses Who Fell In Love With The Same Actor

    The link ups of Bollywood stars are an everyday phenomena in the 21st century. But long time ago, back in the early days of Indian cinema when there weren’t many digital media outlets to spread news like wildfire, a lot of love stories remained unreported.

    One such glorious life was that of veteran actor Dilip Kumar, fondly called Yusuf Saheb by the film industry.

    Dilip Kumar was one of the most charming and successful actor with zero competition during his time. His character Salim in K Asif’s Mughal-e-Azam is legendary.

    There are not one or two but five actresses who fell for this man, and love kept happening to every girl who came close to him.

    Kamini Kaushal
    Little do people know that the cute dadi in Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta starrer Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega, Kamini Kaushal was once in love with Dilip Kumar. It was Kamini’s brother who was against this relationship so the two had to part ways. Even during a famous media event in London on 100 Years of Indian Cinema, she was asked again about her alleged affair with Dilip Saheb, and she dodged the question and refused to comment on this relationship.

    Madhubala
    Madhubala had a nine year old and a long affair with Dilip Kumar. They even got engaged. According to an interview of Madhubala’s sister in Filmfare, the two looked made for each other and Dilip used to visit them home quite often. They did Mughal-e-Azam together and their pair became legendary. It was during their feud with the production house during the movie Naya Daur when Dilip did not support Madhubala and the two broke up. Madhubala wanted him to come and apologise to her father, but that never happened.

    Little to people know that Dilip Saheb had divorced Saira and married a woman called Asma Rahman. He later married Saira again after he left Asma.

    Asma Rehman
    In an excerpt from his book, Dilip Kumar said, “Well, the one episode in my life that I would like to forget and which we, Saira and I, have indeed pushed into eternal oblivion is a grave mistake I made under pressure of getting involved with a lady named Asma Rehman whom I had met at a cricket match in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) where she then lived with her husband. She was a mother of three when she was introduced to me as a fan and she seemed like umpteen other admirers, who were introduced to me by my sisters, Fauzia and Saeeda, at public places. She was a friend of my sisters.”
