After Superhit Jamini-Kanwal Kiss, Shabana Azmi Found This Old Pic With Dharmendra

An old photo of Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra from the sets of a 1988 film
Shabana Azmi excavated her photo archive and struck 24 karat gold – a picture of herself and Dharmendra from the sets of an old film called Mardon Waali Baat. For those of you living under a rock, the two actors are currently Bollywood's Jodi number one because of Karan Johar's recently-released film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani in which they share an endearing romance complete with a blockbuster kiss. The photo Shabana Azmi found shows her dressed in an orange saree, Dharmendra's arm around her. "At the time Jamini from Rocky Aur Rani must have met Kanwalji ! From Mardon Wali Baat," she captioned the picture, tagging KJo.
Jamini and Kanwal are the names of the characters Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra play in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Her estimation of the timeline is at fault, however – Mardon Waali Baat was released in 1988 and the black and white photo that Jamini and Kanwal have as a remembrance in Rocky Aur Rani seems to be from an earlier decade. However, in metaphorical terms, the Mardon Waali Baat photo is chronologically correct.
