When Dharmendra's alleged affair with Anita sparked controversy
Dharmendra, already making headlines for his controversial conversion to Islam to marry Hema Malini, was soon linked to actress Anita Raj. Their on-screen chemistry sparked rumors of an off-screen romance, prompting Hema to reportedly intervene. The rumors eventually subsided after Dharmendra and Anita stopped working together and Anita married filmmaker Sunil Hingorani in 1986.
