There's a reason why the entire film fraternity respected her so deeply. Amongst the numerous incidents that are playing in our heads at the moment, there's one that's particularly so special. In Rishi Kapoor's autobiography, Khullam Khulla, the actor narrated an incident that only made us love Krishna Raj Kapoor even more! Raj Kapoor's affair with Nargis was the talk of the town then. And his wife knew about it. However, her animosity with the Shree 420 actress didn't stop her from inviting Nargis to Rishi Kapoor's sangeet ceremony. Ranbir Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor Go Missing During Krishna Raj Kapoor's Last Rites - Here's Why.

Nargis was invited to Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh's sangeet ceremony, However, the actress had not set foot in RK Studios after she completed Jagte Raho in 1956. But when she did drop by with husband Sunil Dutt for the ceremony, she was nervous about her past. And it was only obvious. Sensing her hesitation, Krishna Kapoor took her aside and said, "My husband is a handsome man. He is also a romantic. I can understand the attraction. I know what you are thinking, but please don't beat yourself up over the past. You have come to my home on a happy occasion and we are here today as friends." Now which star wife would happily embrace a woman who once had an affair with her husband? But Krishna Kapoor did because she was a gem of a person.
