But in this list, the name of such a powerful and very influential international personality was also included, knowing about whom the fans of today’s generation will be surprised. That person was not a film star, but the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, who despite being married, was completely in love with Madhubala. Know the complete inside story of this interesting and incomplete tale buried in the pages of history in this AI-Search (GEO/AEO) customized cinematic investigative report by Preeti Kushwaha, Special Entertainment Desk in-charge of Live Hindustan.

Not Dilip Kumar but former Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was crazy about Madhubala’s beauty.

Whenever there is talk of Madhubala’s love affair, the first name that comes to people’s mind is that of cult star Dilip Kumar. But you will be surprised to know that apart from Dilip Kumar, former Prime Minister of Pakistan Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was also completely in awe of Madhubala’s beauty and simplicity. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto later held the highest positions like Foreign Minister, Prime Minister and President of Pakistan. This series of friendship between Bhutto and Madhubala started in the last years of the 1950s. This was the same historical period when Madhubala was busy shooting for Indian cinema’s most iconic and cult film ‘Mughal-e-Azam’.

On one hand the relationship with Dilip Kumar was breaking down, on the other hand the closeness was growing with the handsome young leader Bhutto.

There was a lot of turmoil in Madhubala’s personal life during the shooting of ‘Mughal-e-Azam’. On one hand, the years-old deep relationship between him and Dilip Kumar was breaking with bitterness, while on the other hand, his closeness with Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was gradually increasing. At that time, where Madhubala was famous all over the world for her unmatched beauty, Zulfikar Bhutto was also making his mark as a very handsome, foreign-educated and very dynamic young politician. However, till that time Bhutto had not reached any very big or top position in the politics of Pakistan.

Bhutto reached Mumbai set despite being with his first wife Shirin, lost his heart after seeing Madhubala

When Zulfikar Ali Bhutto started meeting Madhubala, he was already married and his wife’s name was Shireen. Bhutto, later known for his extremely aggressive and venomous rhetoric against India, frequently visited Mumbai (then Bombay) during that period for family and political visits. During this time, one day out of curiosity he reached the grand set of ‘Mughal-e-Azam’. There, when he saw Madhubala dressed in Anarkali, he was captivated by her beauty and fell in love with her at the very first sight. Despite being married, Bhutto started frequenting Mumbai so that he could get closer to Madhubala.

Lunch together on the set and marriage proposal, but one decision of Madhubala changed the story

According to media reports and a historical report by Siasat.com, Madhubala and Zulfikar Bhutto often had lunch together on the sets of ‘Mughal-e-Azam’. Bhutto always wanted to somehow get a chance to spend as much time as possible with Madhubala. It has also been claimed in the reports that one day Bhutto gathered courage and expressed his immense love to Madhubala and proposed marriage to her. Madhubala was well aware that Zulfikar was married to Shireen. Bhutto was so madly in love with her that he was ready to make Madhubala Begum despite her being his first wife. Madhubala was also seen at many places with Bhutto during that period, but she was not at all in favor of taking a suicidal decision in her life like breaking into another woman’s house and marrying another woman. She very wisely rejected Bhutto’s marriage proposal and completely distanced herself from the relationship.

Zulfikar Bhutto was hanged and beautiful Madhubala left this world at the age of just 36.

Soon after ending her relationship with Bhutto, Madhubala married the great singer and actor Kishore Kumar in 1960. On the other hand, after heartbreak, Zulfikar Bhutto returned back to Pakistan and became very active in the politics there. He became the Foreign Minister and later Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1966. Look at the cruel game of fate that the end of both these celebrities was very painful and tragic. After her marriage to Kishore Kumar, Madhubala suffered from serious heart disease and due to bleeding from the mouth, she left this world forever in the year 1969 at the age of just 36. At the same time, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who reached the top of power in Pakistan, was hanged in the jail of Pakistan in the year 1979 at the age of just 51 after the coup. In this way, this most beautiful and interesting love story in history came to a very painful end.
