'"If You Were Not There"') is a 1983 Indian Bollywood drama film directed by Lekh Tandon and starring Rajesh Khanna, Rekha and Raj Babbar in leading roles.

In the same year, Khanna won a special award for excellence in acting for this movie at the Columbus International Film and Video Festival.

He is happily married to Purnima (Rekha), but she suffers complications after giving birth to their daughter, and the doctors are not able to save her life, leaving Ashok devastated.

Over the course of the project, the two fall in love, and eventually wed. Because Ashok Mehra's model has now become his wife, Mr Bedi is unwilling to give him the photos and sells all of his personal possessions to arrange for the cost of backing out of the contract.

She is offered the position instantly based on her uncanny resemblance to the late Mrs Purnima Mehra, although this fact is hidden from her; his business manager, Shakur Ahmed (Madan Puri), simply tells her that he has a great feeling about her.

Unwilling at first, holding Mr Mehra responsible for her and her husband's current situation, she is forced to accept the position, because Ashok's associates are offering her far more money than she can make anywhere else.

Ashok's attempts to grow closer to Radha, and Bedi's interloping friend Chandu (Asrani), only serve to add to his suspicions.

Ashok is unable to handle his obligation as a father to quell Mini's obvious frustration with being deprived, once again, of a mother's love, and sends her to live in a hostel.
