Leena Chandavarkar is one of those Bollywood heroines who worked in selected films only. But it left a deep impression on the hearts of the audience. As soon as Leena’s name comes, films like ‘Mehboob Ki Mehndi’, ‘Hamjoli’ and ‘Manchali’ come to mind. Leena also did some advertisements before entering the world of films. At the same time, famous Bollywood actor Sunil Dutt saw his advertisement because in those days he was preparing to launch his brother Som Dutt. In this way he chose Leena Chandavarkar for the film ‘Mann Ka Meet’. The interesting thing is that Sunil Dutt gave the responsibility of grooming Leena as an actress to his wife Nargis Dutt. Leena also did many action scenes in ‘Mann Ka Meet’. The film was semi-hit, Leena got benefit from it.
Big tragedy happened at a young age
After this, Leena Chandavarkar was seen in the film ‘Hamjoli’ with Jeetendra, but her pairing with Rajesh Khanna in ‘Mehboob Ki Mehndi’ released in 1971 was very much liked. The music of the film was a superhit and the song ‘Jaane Kyun Log Mohabbat Kiya Karte Hain’ filmed on Leena received a lot of love from the people. These films took him to the heights of popularity. Now comes the tragedy of his life because as interesting as his film career has been, his personal life has been equally complicated. The love story of Leena and Kishore Kumar is also quite interesting. She was married to Siddharth Bandodkar at the age of 25. But after some time her husband died.
When Kishore Kumar staged a protest
Now when Leena Chandavarkar was going through a difficult phase in her life, Kishore Kumar entered her life. Both came closer. But Leena’s family did not approve of this relationship. Now Kishore Kumar couldn’t think of anything, so he started protesting in front of Leena’s house and used to sing the song ‘Nafrat karne walon ke seene mein pyaar bhar doon’. Seeing Kishore’s passion, Leena’s father also agreed and got ready for the marriage. In this way, both of them got married in 1980 and she became the fourth wife of Kishore Kumar.
