Did you know: The 1975 movie, which upstaged classics like Sholay and Aandhi at the Filmfare Awards that year, had Nirupa Roy playing the part of Sumitra Devi, the mother of Vijay (Bachchan) and Ravi (Shashi Kapoor). The role turned out to be the crowning glory in Nirupa Roy's career -- and ironically she had got it only after Vyjayanthimala Bali had turned down the offer. The part had more meat than that of the heroines, Parveen Babi and Neetu Singh, and the famous 'mere paas maa hai' dialogue assured her a place in movie history.
