It's interesting to note that Amitabh and Rekha, who rose to fame as a screen pair in films like 'Mr. Natwarlal,' 'Do Anjaane,' and 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar,' starred in 'Silsila' before moving on to other projects. Rekha claimed that she saw Amitabh's wife, actor Jaya Bachchan crying when she saw her "love scenes" with Amitabh in Prakash Mehra's film 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar' in a 1978 interview with a popular entertainment portal.

“Once, I was looking at the whole (Bachchan) family through the projection room when they came to see the trial show of Muqaddar Ka Sikandar. Jaya was sitting in the front row and he (Amitabh) and his parents were in the row behind her. They couldn’t see her as clearly as I could. And during our love scenes, I could see tears pouring down her face,” she had reportedly said.

Meanwhile, in an interview with the popular news portal, Ranjeet had opened up about his equation with Parveen Babi and revealed that she was upset after she was removed from ‘Silsila’. Parveen Babi passed away in January 2005.

“She (Parveen Babi) was my dear friend… she was all alone. She was a beautiful lady. Always smiling and we used to call her ‘fawada‘ because of her teeth… Once she was very upset and she was crying. I asked her ‘Kya hua Parveen? (What happened Parveen?)’ We were in Kashmir. I don’t mind quoting because it’s a fact. A film was made, Silsila, and Parveen Babi was the original heroine but she was asked to leave. And because of a gimmick controversy, they cast Rekha and Jaya Bhaduri in the film otherwise it was Parveen and Rekha,” Ranjeet said.
