If you are wondering is the other actor Jeetendra, Sanjeev Kumar, or Amitabh Bachchan, well, you are wrong.

Jaya, who wanted to become a dancer but couldn’t fulfil her dream, did everything to make sure her daughter became one of the top actresses and eventually India’s Dream Girl.
So who is actor Jaya felt was apt for the Sholay actress? Well, it’s none other than Girish Karnad. As reported by Mayapuri’s 250th issue, Hema’s mother was in awe of Girish, an actor, director, Kannada writer, and playwright. Chakraborty admired Karnad’s behaviour and was a fan of his acting as well. Further in this entertainment news, Jaya even produced a film called Ratnigiri so that her daughter and Girish get well-acquainted with each other. However, at that time, there was already the news of Dharmendra and Hema Malini’s affair making a buzz everywhere. Hence, Girish didn’t want to create any issue between the two.
