| Jaya Bhaduri was studying at the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, when Hrishikesh Mukherji saw her diploma films. He called her to the principal’s office and offered her the title role in Guddi. Jaya had done a role in Satyajit Ray’s ‘Mahanagar’. On Jaya’s first day of shooting with Dharmendra, he came up to her and asked, “You are the heroine of the film? Tumhari umar kya hai [How old are you?]”. |
