Dharmendra still calls Jaya ‘Guddi

Director Karan Johar, gathered his cast – Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra and Jaya Bachchan – for the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, success meet that took place in Mumbai earlier this week. Karan asked Dharmendra about Guddi and Jaya. The veteran actor then told him, “I still call her Guddi. Her photo session was at my house only. She used to be my fan, she used to tell me all the dialogues. Guddi is a fine actress. We still visit each other. Whenever we meet, it feels great. Voh Guddi hi hai meri. (For me, she will always be Guddi).”

Guddi featured Dharmendra as a Bollywood star and Jaya essayed the role of a young girl mesmerised by the star. Amitabh Bachchan also featured in a cameo role in the film that was directed and produced by Hrishikesh Mukherjee.

Jaya and Dharmendra

It is a well-known fact that Jaya was a huge fan of Dharmendra, when she worked with him on Guddi. She even referred to him as ‘Greek God’ when talking about the veteran actor on Koffee with Karan. “You know, when I saw him for the first time and I was introduced to him, there was a sofa like this… I went and hid behind it. I was so nervous! I didn’t know what to do. There was this fantastic-looking man. I still remember what he was wearing — white trousers and a white shirt and he looked like a Greek God,” Jaya had said in a 2007 episode of the celebrity chat show.
