Did you know Dimple Kapadia was pregnant at the time of shooting Bobby?

The legendary actor Rajesh Khanna tied the know with Dimple Kapadia, who was 16 years younger to her, at the pinnacle of his superstardom at Dimple's father, Chunnibhai Kapadia’s bungalow located in Juhu, in March 1973. Soon after they got married, the Saagar actor was pregnant with their first daughter Twinkle while she also shot for Bobby at the same time.

The revelation was made by her Bobby co-star and late Rishi Kapoor years later. In 2015, along with wishing Twinkle Khanna on her birthday, Rishi Kapoor made a huge revelation as he tweeted that Twinkle was in Dimple's tummy when he was 'serenading' her in 1973's Bobby. Check out his tweet below:

The Raj Kapoor directorial also emerged as one of the most successful movies in the history of Indian cinema. Not only were people in awe of the adorable love story, but Kapoor’s irresistible charm also had millions of girls swooning over his attractiveness. However, Twitterati was quite confused as they had a hard time figuring out Kapoor's tweet.

A lot of people were under the impression that Dimple Kapadia wedded Rajesh Khanna after Bobby. But, Kapoor later set the record straight in his befitting reply on Twitter which read, "Kuch logon ko problem Kya hai? Kakaji and Dimple were married, Bobby was still incomplete, we shot that song when Dimple was 3 months pregnant".
