Before his iconic 'Sholay' role, Govardhan Asrani was a star-maker. A former FTII teacher, he discovered Jaya Bhaduri, launching her career in 'Guddi' and also securing a role for himself. This professional bond blossomed into a deep friendship, leading to Asrani being honored as a 'brother of the bride' at Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan's wedding.
