#1 Gary Sobers
West Indian all-rounder Garry Sobers was quite smitten by the charming young 17-year-old Indian actress Anju Mahendru. Anju Mahendru, was struggling to make a place in Bollywood at that point of time.
The two of them fell deeply in love and were almost ready to get hitched. She even broke off her engagement with superstar Rajesh Khanna to accept Gary’s proposal. But, destiny didn’t support the lovebirds rather Anju’s parents did not support the relationship. They were very much against their daughter’s choice and Anju respected the decision, thus ending the affair.
Gary Sobers in his autobiography wrote about Anju Mahendru (which in his book is spelt as 'Mahindu'). Sobers remembers her with enough fondness, “She was so beautiful and such a nice person". It was in the book that he revealed for the first time that he intended to take her to England for marriage but some things aren’t meant to be. The duo have remained good friends, though.
