In the early 60s, Rajendra Kumar started getting recognition in the Hindi film industry. Rajendra Kumar bought a bungalow on Carter Road in Mumbai from a director instead of taking the fee for one of his films.
His luck brightened after moving to this bungalow. The same happened to Rajesh Khanna. Not only this, Bharat Bhushan’s luck also shone from this bungalow. Later, all three of them also saw destruction in this bungalow.
Rajendra Kumar decided to buy this bungalow after doing films like ‘Mother India’ in 1957 and ‘Dhool Ka Phool’ in 1959. He bought this bungalow from the director in exchange for the fee for one film. At that time, people called this bungalow a ghost bungalow. But Rajendra Kumar named this bungalow ‘Dimple’ after his daughter and started living there after worshipping it.
