Her friends commented on her atrocious costumes.

Mohini neither adorned the music inlay nor was she invited for the press meets and premieres.

When she rebelled, her mentor fumed and separated her from the publicity of the film. She found herself unable to sign outside films because, apparently, Dev Anand disapproved. After what seemed ages, the film took off with three other newcomers, a bevy of stars in guest appearances - and Mohini's role reduced to that of the heroine's friend. She was to be the heroine and Govinda her hero. Her brother supported her histrionic plans, but opposed the idea of a break with a film-maker who hadn't delivered a hit in 20 years. Her parents, reluctant at first, relented only because it was Dev Anand's film, a star they admired for years. But she took less than five minutes to answer the call of destiny. Mohini had never acted in her life, not even in a school skit. Dev took one look and made her a spot offer. Then one day, she accompanied a friend to Anand, Dev Anand's office-cum-studio. Mohini was to work in Germany, where her fluency in Sanskrit was to fetch her a job. Children of a prosperous businessman-exporter of Rajasthani items, they came seeking a better quality of life.
