The shape of the work

Partnership facts
- Rajkumar Kohli cast Reena Roy in 'Jaani Dushman' (1979) after she impressed him with her work in 'Zakhmi Aurat'. He later said she was the only actress who could play both the vamp and the victim in the same film.
- In 'Muqabla' (1979), Reena Roy’s character was the one who drove the revenge plot forward, while Kohli’s character reacted. She set the emotional pace in every scene they shared — he followed her lead, which made their confrontations feel real.
- Reena Roy and Rajkumar Kohli remained close friends long after 'Naukar Biwi Ka' (1983). She was one of the few actresses he trusted to give honest feedback on his scripts, even after she quit acting.
- Reena Roy once said in an interview: 'Rajkumar Kohli never treated me like a typical heroine. He gave me roles that had real anger, not just tears.'
