Bollywood from the 80s and before was a very secretive place to be in. There were rumours, affairs, blinds, secret weddings, extra marital affairs and all of them amounted to the gossip culture which still prevails. Also, there were people calling out each other after getting hurt, replaced, cheated, or rejected. So once such calling out was by Saif Ali Khan’s former wife Amrita Singh who blasted Sunny Deol for having a secret affair with Dimple Kapadia despite having a secret wedding in England with a girl called Pooja.

But since it is a very long story, which ended abruptly and rather secretly, we will take one step at a time. It all started with Sunny Deol’s debut film Betaab which co-starred Amrita Singh, who was also making her debut with the film. As generally happens, the two got attracted to each other and an affair started. However, both their mothers did not approve of this relationship.

While Sunny Deol’s mother Prakash Kaur considered Amrita to be a strong-headed woman, not ideal for her family, Amrita’s mother who was a respected and influential politician did not want her daughter to fall for an actor. While the actors were shooting for Betaab, Sunny made frequent trips to England. Later that year, a magazine leaked pictures of his secret wedding with Pooja Deol, a girl from a business family in England. However, Deols never wanted the news to leak as Sunny was starting his career. He even denied getting married to anyone but Amrita Singh made her distance from the family. She later dismissed the rumours of being in a relationship with the Damini actor and called all the stories a publicity stunt for Betaab!
