Veteran stars Dharmendra and Jaya Bachchan are reuniting for Karan Johar's much-awaited directorial Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani. Apart from being wonderful co-stars in multiple flicks, the veterans also share several sweet memories. In a recent interview, Dharmendra recalled how Jaya Bachchan used to hide behind a sofa whenever he arrived on the sets of Guddi (1971), which was also Jaya's debut Hindi film. On being asked whether the actress used to have a huge crush on him, the actor revealed ''this is her love and respect speaking.''
''I’ve known Jaya and Amitabh for a very long time now. I still remember the fun times that we had while shooting for Sholay,'' he said.

The 87-year-old actor also remembered shooting in his prime era and said that he used to enjoy every bit of it and the outdoor shoots were like picnics. ''The entire unit was like one big family. I got the same feeling while doing Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani,'' he added.
