Well I dont know where you got that idea from... what I am saying is that she didn't reciprocate his feelings, which was well within her rights. One can't blame her for that.

Well, that is convenient. And which is wrong I think. For example everybody rightly accuses Raj Kapoor of being a womaniser. But nobody talks about how women also manipulated him to further their own careers.

Well... if she didn't fall in love... or even if she did didn't intend to express it because of his marital status, then she was right in doing it. Blind love not always a great concept you see.

Arrey...She was in a commercial business. So we should be asking why Dev Anand cast her in Guide despite knowing that his best friend Guru Dutt died longing for her. So does that mean Dev Anand didn't care for his friend?

Maybe or maybe not. Cinema has always been a commercial venture. So it is his own personality disorder that killed him.

What I said first was according to what is publicly known -- something that his own dear friend Dev Anand vouches for. That is why I added the caveat "even if she did".
Dev Anand -- a close friend of Guru Dutt -- told me a few years back that Guru Dutt was a manic depressive. That's a trait which reflects in almost all of Dutt's movies. When he committed suicide, it was not his first attempt. Devsaab told me that Waheeda Rehman was no way responsible for Dutt's death. He was in love with her. She was not. He was in a bad marriage. She was not. Devsaab himself was in love with Suraiyya. And it was a two-way love -- Devsaab himself told me that openly and as a matter of fact. Yet he couldn't marry her because her mother opposed the alliance. That didn't lead him to suicide, did it?
So yeah. the Guru Dutt-Waheeda Rehman will remain one of those enigmatic duo in Bollywood legends.

suicide was due to a lot of factor...he was a intense brooder, pessimist, loved to show and regale in the darkness of life...he was highly emotional, and love for a women who was not bad but too young to understand his complexiti...
