It was back in 2020 when Gulzaar saab turned 86 years old, and for the same, Meghna dropped a love-filled monochromatic photo with her father along with a long note. In the note, Meghna added that she knows that she is protected by the way her father's arms always cradle her.

It was after Meghna's birth when Gulzar and Rakhee separated, but they were never officially divorced. The issue that came between them was Gulzar didn't want Rakhee to work in films after marriage, and she listened to it but would hope that she would work in her husband's films, which never happened. Although, she had lined up projects, she couldn't work.

However, once, during a shoot of Gulzar's film, he rescued Suchitra Sen and escorted her to her room, which irked Rakhee, who questioned her husband. Gulzar didn't like the same and struck Rakhee, which gave her a traumatising experience. Later that day, Yash Chopra brought a project, Kabhie Kabhie, to Rakhee, and despite Gulzar's protests, she worked on the film, marking the crack in her and Gulzar's relationship.
We are in awe of the wholesome photo that Meghna shared!
