In Mera Naam Joker there were several actresses and one of them was Simi Grewal who surprised everyone when she was seen nude and her As* was exposed in it. Simi played a teacher in the film who was the object of desire for a young Rishi Kapoor who also seemed to have a crush on her in the film.

There were rumors floating at the time of the film’s making that Raj and Simi grew close during the time and she continued to see him even after the film was complete. A friend of Simi said, “Raj Kapoor had a weak spot for all his leading ladies, and his affection for Simi was pretty obvious. It was rumoured that they had an affair. Simi was simply in awe of Raj Kapoor. In fact, she was hesitant about taking up the part in Siddhartha because of the bold scenes, but it was Raj Kapoor who convinced her.”
