The fallacious love triangle, which once shocked the entire glamour world, was between Jeetendra, Hema Malini and Dharmendra. It had started with Hema's mother, Jaya's disregard for her daughter's romantic involvement with an already married man, Dharmendra. On the other side, Jaya was eager to marry off Hema and saw a potential groom in the contemporary actor and her co-star in many films, Jeetendra. In addition, Jaya knew the fact that Jeetendra also had a soft corner for Hema, but he was involved with Shobha Kapoor.
