relation

Vinod Mehra was married three times in his life. His personal life was a mess, while his professional life was steadily progressing. In 1971, Vinod’s mother arranged his marriage to Canadian actress and model Mina Brocka, but he was unable to fall in love with her. Soon after the marriage, he suffered a heart attack, so the marriage – which soon ended in divorce – was reportedly never consummated.

Soon after, he fell in love with Bindita Goswami, who was also his co-star in many films, including Dunyadari and Dada. His love was reciprocated by Bindita, and the two had a turbulent relationship. It is said that he left Meena and eloped with the actress while their marriage was still in progress. As his wife was forced to file for divorce, Vinod and Bindita got engaged. But then Mehra found out that Bindita had been dating director JP Dutta, and their relationship quickly fell apart and ended after just four years. The actress filed for divorce from Mehra and gave up her acting career to become Dutta’s wife.

In 1988, Vinod fell in love again with Kiran, the daughter of a Kenyan businessman. The ideal match for him seemed to be this young girl who had no connection with the film industry but adored Vinod. After their marriage in 1988, Kiran moved from Kenya to India to spend the rest of her life with Vinod. They also had a daughter, Sonia Mehra, and a few months later, Kiran became pregnant with a boy.

But their happiness did not last long as Vinod Mehra died of a massive heart attack on October 30, 1990. Kiran, 45, was still pregnant with Rohan, who was born six months after his father’s death.
