While fans loved to see Sharmila and Shashi Kapoor together onscreen, they also shared a great bonding off screen.
Talking about the memories with him, Sharmila Tagore had once recalled an instance when the actress lost control of the car during 'Suhana Safar' shoot. She almost ran into Shashi but thankfully, nothing happened to him. He was safe, but later the actor put his sense of humour to display as he said that if she ever does that again, his wife Jennifer Kapoor would come to her.
Tagore opened up on it during a chat with author Aseem Chhabra during the launch of his book, Shashi Kapoor: The Householder, The Star'.
The actress said, 'We were shooting Suhana Safar, and there was a scene where I was supposed to drive downhill, and Shashi was to jump out of the way. But something went wrong—I just could not control the clutch and brake and sped into a culvert. While the poor light man holding a reflector fell, Shashi remained unscathed.
Later, he quipped, 'Do that again, and Jennifer will come to you with three children and say she doesn't have money for milk!' He could always joke, and yet remain cordial and respectful.

The 'Amar Prem' actress added further, 'Shashi would constantly tease me because I would argue a lot with the directors on the sets. Each time, he'd remind me to get on with it—don't bicker, just do it! This is what I've learnt from him. When you are doing a film for money or to help a friend out, be clear about the motives and then finish what needs to be done. When you come to the set, and are aware of the limitations of the script or the director, don't expect pigs to fly.
