The late actor further said that before filming the scene, an idea came to his mind, and he asked director Shyam Benegal if he could actually slap Smita Patil. Shyam Benegal remained silent for a while, thinking it could create a problem. He feared that if she got slapped, she might leave the shoot midway.
However, he eventually agreed. Amrish Puri revealed that Smita Patil had no idea about their plan. When the scene started, he suddenly slapped her.
Her reaction was completely natural. According to Amrish Puri, after the scene ended, Smita Patil playfully ran after him to hit him back. The entire unit burst into laughter.
Praising Smita Patil, Amrish Puri said that she was a natural actress and highly professional. Raj Babbar was married to Nadira Zaheer when he fell in love with Smita Patil. Together, they welcomed Prateik Babbar.
After Smita's death in 1986, actor-turned-politician Raj Babbar went back to Nadira. They have two children, namely Raj Babbar and Juhi Babbar..
