Production
[edit]Ramesh Saigal was impressed with Sunil Dutt's good looks and voice. He gave opportunity to Dutt for acting. But at first, Dutt was nervous before the camera, especially in romantic scenes. He had never mixed freely with girls. His worst moment came when Saigal got furious and scolded him. In fact, the scenes were shot several times before Dutt got it right. Deeply embarrassed, Dutt resolved that if he ever directed a film, he would be more sensitive to his actors’ feelings.[5]
