At just 15, Seema Kapoor fell in love with a man who was 35 years old. She didn't know at first that he was already married. When she found out, he tried to mislead her by saying he was going through a divorce. Things eventually took a dark turn, and the emotional pain led her to attempt suicide.
Seema Kapoor shared that her parents separated when she was just 6 years old. She spoke about her mother, who came from a wealthy background but was harsh and arrogant. When Seema expressed her desire to become an actress, her mother would often beat her.
