Like most Bollywood romances, theirs too began on the sets of a film, Bheegi Palkein. The earthy Smita Patil was floored by Raj Babbar's fun-loving attitude.

The much-married actor (to Nadira Babbar) also found a deep attachment to his onscreen heroine like Mirch Masala and Jawab. Their controversial decision to tie the knot attracted immense flak.

In a tragic turn of events, Smita passed away during child birth. Their last project together, Waaris, featured Babbar as her younger sister's (Amrita Singh) love interest.
