Bollywood veteran actor Raj Kumar was known for his strong acting and unique dialogue delivery. Along with his films, his style was also very much liked among the fans. Raj Kumar may have earned a lot of fame in his professional life, but he always remained private about his personal life. Very few news of his affairs and link-ups were heard, but an interesting story of his with actress Hema Malini is quite famous.
Raj Kumar was crazy about Hema Malini
Very few people know that Raj Kumar was once a big fan of Hema Malini. When she was cast in the film 'Laal Patthar', he requested director F.C. Mehra to cast Hema Malini instead of actress Vyjayanthimala. Hema first got the offer for this film, but she refused to do the film. After this, Raj Kumar himself persuaded Hema and she agreed to work in the film.
Marriage proposal and refusal
According to Bollywood Shaadis reports, after the release of the film 'Laal Patthar', Raj Kumar had also sent a marriage proposal to Hema Malini. But Hema rejected this proposal. After this, the two parted ways and not much came to light in this matter.

Raj Kumar was also seen in the film 'Pakeezah', which had Meena Kumari in the lead role. There were reports that Raj Kumar liked Meena Kumari very much. He was so impressed by her beauty that he would forget his dialogues many times during the shooting. However, Meena Kumari was married at that time, so Raj Kumar never told her his feelings.
