Nargis was the first one to assist in making the film 'Yaadein' 

Sunil Dutt had also taken his first steps as a filmmaker and had shown that he could take up any subject and do complete justice to it. One evening, he thought of a story he had heard from a friend. The first person to support him in this was his wife Nargis who decided to support him all the way. She assembled a small team of the best technicians and a highly talented music director like Vasant Desai and took the risky decision to produce, direct, and act in the film. The shooting began in Bombay and the entire industry kept saying "Dutt Sahab has gone paagal", but Dutt sahab was a man who never cared about what other people said.

The film was 'Yadein', Yaadein was about a middle-aged man who returns home one evening and finds his wife missing along with their three children. The rest of the film is about a man who has locked himself in his apartment and lives a very strange life in which he lives the past and present of his life with his family. Anil Khanna's role in this film, played by Sunil Dutt, is one of the most outstanding performances in the history of Indian films.

The highlights of 'Yaadein' are how Anil Khanna (Sunil Dutt) lives his life at different times with his wife, with his children, and with the many ups and downs of his moods and his eccentricities and losing his temper and his fiery arguments. The great thing about "Yaadein" is that not a single word is spoken by any character in the entire film. Yet such was the miracle of Hindi cinema in the 60s. Films were made without songs, but no major and commercial film was made without characters speaking dialogues. Yaadein had the satisfaction of being entered in the Guinness Book of World Records. It was entered at the Cannes Film Festival. Sunil Dutt won the Padma Shri (I don't know if it was for Yaadein) but he certainly deserved every major award in the country.
