The duo played siblings in CV Sridhar's Gehri Chaal (1973).

For the record, Hema was paired opposite Jeetendra in the movie. Incidentally, this is the only film featuring both Amitabh and Jeetendra. Since the latter was the bigger star in those days, Sridhar cast Bachchan in a supporting role to Jeetendra's lead.

Though Sridhar had a decent resume (Dil Ek Mandir, Pyar Kiye Jaa, Saathi), this thriller was a strict no-no at the turnstiles and has been forgotten over the years.

They might not have succeeded as siblings but Amitabh-Hema worked wonders as a lead pair in films like Desh Premee, Naseeb, Nastik and Satte Pe Satta and are still going strong, thanks to the recent Baghbaan.

And the first nominee for the Best Bollywood Sibling goes to...

Sadhana: For continuing to sing songs with her hero Shammi Kapoor even as his brother Sanjeev Kumar goes from good to grey in Sachaai (1969).
