The 1975 film 'Sholay' saw off-screen drama with Sanjeev Kumar proposing to Hema Malini, unaware of her relationship with Dharmendra. Tensions led to the filmmakers avoiding scenes between Kumar and Malini. Sanjeev's refusal to let Hema continue acting post-marriage led to their breakup. Despite the on-set tension, Hema eventually married Dharmendra in 1980.
