Neelam Kothari recently made her comeback with Made In Heaven Season 2, and fans loved her avatar in the show. The diva was a popular actress back in the 90s. She tied the knot with Samir Soni in 2011 and soon after took a break from work. While many know about her love story with Samir, do you know she dated Bobby Deol for five years and could not get married because of a big reason? Read on!
After 5 years of dating each other, Bobby and Neelam parted ways. During that time, rumors were rife that Dharmendra, Bobby’s father, did not want his son to marry a Bollywood actress. Neelam remained tight-lipped about their breakup but years later claimed that it was not family that broke them up.
In an old interview with Stardust, Neelam Kothari had said, “Anyway, let me make one thing clear. Believe me, this decision has nothing to do with either family. I just kept thinking about ultimately ending up as a star-wife – and the thought nagged me so much that it began haunting me. You know the thought of getting involved with a guy who’s getting into films… he hasn’t even started… I just felt scared. Terribly scared. I can’t explain the fear, I thought, might as well finish it now. I couldn’t bear the thought of something going wrong later. It would have been too late. I see it happening all around me, to all the star wives. Okay, so I decided late, very late, I agree. But still, not too late.”
