Raakhee’s confusion led to a lot of misunderstanding but eventually she was part of the cast and the large unit with the actors and their spouses left for a month-long shooting to Kashmir. The media called Chopra’s outdoor stint honeymoon holidays because all the actors were newly wedded be it Waheeda Rehman, Amitabh Bachchan, Raakhee even though she was not accompanied to the shoot by her writer husband. Only Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh were single, not yet in love with each other but all the time surrounded by love both on and off screen.
Neetu Singh was not the first choice for the role and Tine Munim was auditioned for the part because Rishi Kapoor had seen her somewhere and was very keen on working her. Yash Chopra screen tested her but preferred Punjabi kudi Singh for Waheeda Rehman’s love child in the film. He was keen on Bindiya Goswami for the third role of the triangle but when Mumtaz called Yash Chopra and requested him to cast her niece Naseem for the part he agreed without a moment’s hesitation.
