Shashi broke down into a million pieces when she saw the coffin of Manoj Kumar. Her pain is unmatched and videos have gone viral where Manoj Kumar's wife, Shashi's bereaved state was seen. Manoj had dated and loved only one woman in his entire life, Shashi. They had met during their graduation days and used to see one another from a distance. It was Shashi who could see that Manoj had love for her. Once with the help of their friends, all of them went to watch Udan Khatola and post that their meetings rose. Manoj's family was fine with their relationship but Shashi's mom and brother were against the same.

Due to this reason, Shashi and Manoj used to meet on the terrace of their home secretly. They liked to watch movies and always respected each other's thoughts and what they felt about one another. Manoj also shared that love was all about compromises and also shared in many interviews that a lot of changes took place in his life after he got married. He also shared that his film, Hariyali Aur Rasta became a hit after his marriage and he credited his marriage and the success of the film, which made him a superstar.
