Prem Chopra made Jeetendra stand guard outside his wedding venue because random women could show up and say, ‘Main tumhare bachche ki maa…’

The veteran actor recalled how he warned the pandit to finish the wedding in five minutes. He said, “We were getting married at the Sun & Sand hotel, and I told the pandit, ‘Within five minutes everything should get over.’ But before that, I told Jeetendra, ‘You stand outside. See that no police comes.’ In those times, police would show up at weddings and accuse you of some crime, and women would show up and say, ‘I am pregnant with your child.’ I told Jeetendra, ‘Don’t let the police and women come inside, send then away’.”

In a previous interview, Prem had opened up about how his wife trusted him and didn’t believe the stories published about him and heroines. In an interview with Filmfare, he said, “Being from a film family, she was used to the stories. An outsider would have found it difficult. She trusted me. Also, the leading ladies were educated women, coming from good families. I enjoyed great friendship with the heroines. But there was no romantic involvement.” 

The couple has three daughters– Rakita, Punita and Prerana.
