Nanda has been close to actress Waheeda Rehman right from the time they worked together in popular film 'Kaala Bazaar'. In 1992, a middle-age Nanda was reportedly engaged to popular filmmaker Manmohan Desai. But he passed away after he fell off the terrace of his rented apartment in Girgaon, just a year after her mother's death. As reports had said, the railing on which he was leaning collapsed. Nanda decided to remain unmarried.
