Shashi Kapoor, celebrated for his romantic roles and awarded the Padma Bhushan and Dadasaheb Phalke Award late in his career, was admired for his authentic screen presence. However, early in his career, Kapoor declined to work with actress Mumtaz in Sachaa Jhutha, reflecting industry biases that labeled her a 'Dara Singh heroine' due to her action film roles. Mumtaz noted this was a widespread industry attitude, though Kapoor later collaborated with her in successful films as her popularity grew.
