Reports say actress Madhubala pressured filmmaker Tajdar to divorce his wife, according to statements attributed to Tajdar. The account links the request to public gossip about Madhubala’s relationship with Dilip Kumar.

The outlets describe how industry chatter had become widespread and reached newspapers. Tajdar is quoted saying there was “a lot of gossip” about the relationship, and that it leaked to the press and circulated within the film industry. The articles frame the alleged divorce request as part of the fallout from this publicity.

While both reports draw from the same core allegation and attribution, they do so with slightly different phrasing: one specifies that Madhubala asked Tajdar to divorce his wife and mentions a son, while another emphasizes Madhubala’s desire for him to divorce his wife and notes the connection to her Dilip Kumar relationship.
