According to the actor-anchor Anu Kapoor, Nargis had once spoken her mind about this rumour. According to Kapoor, Nargis said, "How and when this rumour started I don't even have an idea. All I can say is whoever started this is a rotter with a very dirty mind. 

Just because Raj Kapoor’s conception of Dimple as ‘Bobby’ resembled what I played in ‘Awara’ and because of few similarities here and there. It’s not enough to jump to stupid conclusions. God forbid, but if such had been the case, I would never have disowned a daughter of mine. Dimple has been a very wise girl to treat the whole thing as a big joke. As for me and my family, my husband has ignored the whole thing, my daughters laughed it off," she was further quoted. "Only my son Sanjay was upset, but he’ll grow out of it. I don’t want to give it any more importance by speaking about it. I don’t want to feed such malicious gossip. I want it to die a natural death.”
