It had become difficult for both of them to live without each other. They got married on 14 February 1952. After the accident, Meena Kumari started visiting the massage parlour located on Modern Road frequently. Her father used to leave her there and go away. During that time, Meena went to the Qazi with her sister and Kamal and they both got married according to the Sunni-Shia customs.

Kamal started suspecting Dharmendra

Pakeezah was directed by the famous director Kamal Amrohi. Meena Kumari was Kamal’s wife. Dharmendra was a big fan of Meena Kumari at that time. He used to watch all her films and liked her a lot. During the shooting, when Kamal got the hint that the news of their affair was becoming common, he removed Dharmendra from the film. Raaj Kumar was again seen with Meena Kumari, who is known as the tragedy queen of Hindi cinema. Let us tell you that people in the film industry liked Meena Kumari a lot. Raaj Kumar was also one of her fans. Raaj Kumar worked with Meena Kumari in the film ‘Pakeezah’.
