'Sanjeev Kumar convinced Jaya Bachchan to do Silsila'

Sanjeev Kumar played a crucial role in convincing Jaya Bachchan to star in Yash Chopra's 'Silsila', a film that initially underperformed but gained cult status. Jaya Bachchan's condition for her involvement was to remain on set even when not filming. The casting of Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Rekha was notably bold due to their real-life romantic entanglements.
