However, the film was Yash Chopra’s ‘Trishul’. When Shashi Kapoor slapped Poonam at the time of shooting of the film. Actually, the slap scene was part of the script, but Yash Chopra told Shashi Kapoor to do this scene with perfection at once.
In the desire for perfection, Shashi slapped Poonam real and strongly. As soon as Poonam had a heavy hand of Shashi, she was stunned and was captured in her expression camera. As soon as the shot was over, Shashi apologized to him and explained the matter.

During the conversation with ‘Pinkvilla’, the actress had said- I do not have to marry again at all nor I have thought about it. No one was found, which would pay more attention to his two children. My focus remained only on children. I met some people who I liked it very much, but they could not stand either or they had a life partner’s quality.
