Later, director Joy Mukherjee had to interrupt and separate his two leading ladies, Mala and Sharmila. Many years later, when Mala Sinha was asked about the incident, she said, “Such loose talk was a part of the effort to create some publicity for the film. I would never raise my hand on a co-star or anyone else.”

It was also reported that both the heroines used to check out each other’s clothes, dialogues, close-ups etc. Till now these two actresses never came together onscreen ever, and there was no news of them getting back or patching-up for good.
