Pankaj Udhas, the renowned Indian ghazal and playback singer, may have passed away, but his songs will forever hold a special place in the hearts of his fans.
In addition to captivating audiences with his melodious tunes, Pankaj Udhas played a significant role in elevating actors to stardom through his music videos. One of his most beloved songs, ‘Chupke Chupke Sakhiyon Se Woh,’ was an instant hit upon its release, catapulting the featured actors to overnight fame.
Shot 25 years ago, the music video for ‘Chupke Chupke Sakhiyon Se Woh’ featured John Abraham and Rajlaxmi Khanvilkar, both of whom garnered immense popularity following its release. While Rajlaxmi Khanvilkar’s beauty captivated the industry, her professional success failed to match her personal life.
Despite gaining recognition from the music video, Rajlaxmi Khanvilkar struggled to establish herself as an actress in Bollywood. Her personal life, particularly her marriage to fellow model Sameer Soni, attracted more attention than her professional achievements. The marriage, which ended in divorce after just six months, coincided with Sameer Soni’s debut movie premiere, marking a challenging period for him personally.
Following his divorce, Sameer Soni found happiness in his marriage to Neelam Kothari since 2011, and the couple adopted a daughter together.
After her split from Sameer Soni, Rajlaxmi Khanvilkar married ‘Aashiqui’ actor Rahul Roy in 2000, but their marriage ended amicably in 2014.
Details about Rajlaxmi Khanvilkar’s current whereabouts and endeavors remain scarce following her divorce from Rahul Roy.
