Late superstar Rajesh Khanna’s live-in partner Anita Advani suffered a major setback yesterday, with the Bombay High Court staying proceedings in the case she had filed against late superstar Rajesh Khanna’s wife Dimple Kapadia, his daughters Twinkle and Rinke Khanna and son-in-law Akshay Kumar.

Last week, the family had approached the Bombay High Court pleading that Advani’s case against them before the Metropolitan Magistrate in Bandra be quashed.

MiD DAY had reported on Advani’s complaint against late Khanna and his family under the Domestic Violence Act, which alleged that Dimple and her children had forged a will and tried to evict her from Aashirwad, Khanna’s palatial mansion in Bandra (‘Rajesh Khanna's dubious past resurfaces’, November 25). Advani, who claims to have been Khanna’s live-in partner, had also alleged that the superstar had kissed and sexually abused her when she was a 13-year-old. u00a0
