50 years later, the truth can finally be told.
A revealing excerpt from Hanif Zaveri and Sumant Batra's An Actor's Actor: An Authorized Biography of Sanjeev Kumar.
When Ramesh Sippy narrated the script for Seeta Aur Geeta to Hema Malini, she was not convinced that she could do justice to a role similar to what had been done by the legendary Dilip Kumar
Sanjeev Kumar and Hema Malini became acquainted with each other while shooting for the song Hawa ke saath saath, in which they had to skate through the picturesque roads of Mahabaleshwar.
Since both actors were novice skaters, they fell an umpteen number of times. Ramesh Sippy, however, kept all the shots where they tripped, adding them to the song sequence to make it look natural. Eventually, a contraption in the form of a low trolley supported by sticks was devised to make it seem like they were whizzing through the valley.
In one terrifying moment, the trolley came loose while Hema and Sanjeev were on it and veered towards a cliff. Luckily, the road bent inwards and both the actors fell away from the treacherous precipice. They escaped with minor cuts and bruises.
This brush with death brought them closer.
The moment they recovered from the accident, they were more concerned about each other than their own well-being. Many believe that this was the moment they began developing feelings for each other.
In love once again, Sanjeev was determined to marry Hema.
Once again, he faced resistance from his mother.
Shantaben did not want an actress as a daughter-in-law. Her rejection disheartened Hema enormously. Belonging to a tight-knight family, she could not imagine tying the knot without the whole-hearted approval of both families.
Sanjeev consoled her, telling her that Shantaben would come around to the union eventually. True to his word, Hema won Shantaben's heart.
A humble woman despite her immense success, Hema always covered her head with her pallu and touched Shantaben's feet every time they met. She gradually became one of the Jariwala household.
(Actress) Tarla Mehta fondly remembers the closeness between Sanjeev and Hema. Members of the same peer group at work, the two seemed destined to be together.
Expressive in front of the camera, in real life Sanjeev was awkward and shy. This lack of communication caused misunderstandings between the pair.
Gayatri remembers one such occasion when there was some friction between the lovers. Although Sanjeev refused to talk about it, his sister could tell that something was amiss. He was not speaking to Hema.
When Gayatri and her husband were leaving to attend Hema's dance show, Sanjeev refused to accompany them.
After the show, a distressed Hema called Gayatri to ask what was wrong because she had no clue as to why Sanjeev was not speaking to her. She appealed to Gayatri to intervene, but his sister was helpless too because Sanjeev would not discuss his relationship with her.
Eventually, the Jariwalas decided to visit Hema's family in Madras and ask for her hand.
Sanjeev, Hema and Shantaben planned the visit, fixed a date and got their tickets. As was customary, Shantaben arrived at Hema's home with boxes of sweets, and Hema Malini's mother, Jaya Chakravarthy, was happy to meet Sanjeev's family.
The cultural differences did not pose a hurdle, but Hema Malini's film career became a bone of contention.
As Hema Malini told veteran journalist Bhawana Somaaya later, 'My mother's ambition was to give me all that she couldn't have for herself. In her case, giving did not include small worldly comforts but big dreams, big aspirations. Making me an artiste was like bhakti or tapasya for her.'
For the Jariwala family, this was a difficult condition to accept.
Shantaben and Sanjeev were clear from the start that they would not allow Hema to act in films after marriage.
According to Gayatri Patel, Hema herself had promised Sanjeev that she would complete only her pending assignments before bidding farewell to the film world.
Hema, however, could not withstand her mother's iron will. She was one of the highest-paid actresses of her time; she could understand the reason behind her mother's decision.
Hema was hopeful that Sanjeev would eventually come around and allow her to carry on with her career. Sanjeev remained hopeful that Hema would convince her mother, and he stayed in touch with her.
She asked Sanjeev to let her continue with her acting career for a while.
