AN OUT-OF-COURT SETTLEMENT BETWEEN ANITA AND DIMPLE?

AN OUT-OF-COURT SETTLEMENT BETWEEN ANITA AND DIMPLE?

    It’s been over a year since Rajesh Khanna, the first superstar of Bollywood, passed away. And it looks like his family will soon be done with the legal cases filed by Anita Advani, who claimed to be the late actor’s live-in partner. Earlier this year, she had filed cases against Dimple Kapadia, her daughters Twinkle and Rinkie, and son-in-law Akshay Kumar, for allegedly throwing her out of Khanna’s bungalow on Carter Road, Bandra. Reportedly, Advani is asking for a compensation of 50 crore through her petition.
    A source close to the family reveals that Advani offered to settle the dispute out of court. Our source says, “Anita has conveyed to sort the case with a settlement. But Dimpleji has refused, preferring to get the judgment in the family’s favour on their merit. Dimpleji feels Anita tried to take undue advantage of the situation and also tried to garner publicity and sympathy by suing the family members after the demise of Kakaji.”
    Our source adds, “The family is also upset and angry with the unpleasant things Anita is believed to have said about them.”
    We tried contacting Dimple Kapadia, but she didn’t revert to our text messages. However, when asked about the settlement amount, Anita Advani said, “I have not discussed the amount yet. They have initiated the settlement, their lawyers have spoken to my lawyer.” She declined to comment further saying the matter is subjudice.
