Ranjeet Recalls His Wife Aloka’s Relatives Telling His Mother-In-Law That She “Should’ve Poisoned Or Drowned” Her Daughter Instead Of Marrying Her With A Molester

Born Gopal Bedi, Ranjeet gained immense fame as the baddie in 70s Bollywood films. The actor, who worked in hundreds of films usually played the staple sleazy guy and made an image for himself as the ‘molester’ or ‘r*pe specialist’(as he called it). Recently, he opened up about how this on-screen image affected his personal life.

During a recent conversation, the ‘baddie’ spoke about how some relatives from his wife’s side weren’t happy that the two tied the knot. In fact, he even recalled some of their statement made to his mother-in-law once the news of their marriage was out. Read all about it below.

As reported by Hindustan Times, while in conversation with a leading daily, Ranjeet opened up about his wife Aloka, how they met and people’s perception to his finding a bride. The 70s villainous star said, “I had never seen my parents fighting; my wife has her opinions and we have our arguments, especially over politics because our views are very different. How I met her was that I was going to cast her in my film, but my parents liked her–she was modern yet homely, could speak English as well as Punjabi–what else could I want. My younger brother and sister were married and my parents were really keen on me settling down. Par un dino ke Ranjeet ko kaun apni beti deta (Who’d have married their daughter to the then Ranjeet).”
