This actress, who sang in concerts with Mohd Rafi and Kishore Kumar, was head-over-heels with Sanjeev Kumar. But, pathetically Haribhai as he was fondly called never loved her.
Sanjeev Kumar’s romantic history has long been the subject of public fascination. Among the most documented of his relationships was his emotional connection with Hema Malini, a bond that began on the sets of Seeta Aur Geeta. Though Sanjeev fell deeply in love, Hema ultimately chose Dharmendra, leaving Sanjeev heartbroken and reeling from rejection. The veteran actor also harboured feelings for Shabana Azmi. While the affection may have been mutual, the bond never progressed as Sanjeev’s mother opposed the idea of a Muslim daughter-in-law, and familial pressures kept them apart.
The Raigarh born Sulakshana Pandit belonged to a family rich in musical legacy. The Pandits originally hailed from Pili Mandori village in Haryana’s Hissar district. Her father, Pratap Narain Pandit, was a classical vocalist, and her uncle was the legendary Pandit Jasraj. Her siblings, Mandheer, Jatin, and Lalit Pandit, went on to emerge as celebrated music composers, while her sister Vijayta Pandit turned out to be an actress.
