Dara Singh was madly in love with THIS actress, their relationship didn’t last long, actor was heartbroken after losing her, blamed…, her name is…

Deedar Singh Randhawa, popularly known as Dara Singh, was a renowned name in India. His towering personality and unparallel physical strength, garnered him name not just in entertainment world, but in the field of wrestling as well. The actor worked in several Bollywood films and TV shows, but it was his portrayal of Lord Hanuman in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan that is widely remembered till date.

Though he had a daredevil personality of a wrestler, but still his heart was pure and gentle. Many might be unaware that Dara Singh was madly in love with actress Mumtaz, but unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last long. Here’s why!

Dara Singh first met Mumtaz on the sets of his second film Faulad, which was released in 1963. Although, Dara’s first film was a success, still several top actresses refused to work with him. Mumtaz, who didn’t become a leading actress at that time and was playing small roles in the movies, agreed to act alongside Dara.

Soon after filming began, speculations about their alleged relationship started riffing. They were often captured spending time together on set, and their evolving bond became a major topic of discussion.

After Faulad released, Mumtaz’s career rose to another height. She started receiving many film offers, and it started affecting her relationship with Dara Singh. Due to her busy schedule, the couple didn’t use to get much time together. Their growing distance eventually led to breakup, leaving Dara Singh heartbroken. He later blamed Bollywood for separating them. The world of glamour, fame and work pressure created distances in their relationship, and were the reasons why they couldn’t be together.

Beyond acting and wrestling, Dara Singh also ventured into politics. In 1998, Dara joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and secured history as the first person from the sports category to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha. He died in 2012 due to cardiac arrest and left behind a remarkable legacy in films, sports and politics.
