The film was made at the peak of Rekha's stardom, which was used for the film's publicity.^[2] This coincided with Nutan and Rajendra Kumar's shift to character roles.^[3] The film was shot, among other locations, in Mauritius.^[4]

Premarital childbirth was one of the film's main themes. Scholar Veena Singh included Saajan Ki Saheli in her discussion of four films which reflect the radicalization of the Indian family.^[5] Singh described the character of Kunti as a woman "who has a materialistic bent of mind" for whom the purpose of marriage is to get "a big car, a bungalow and other luxuries" and concluded, "For Kunti, the life of an Indian woman begins after marriage - an implication that a woman's past is to be cut off, buried and forgotten lest it should hamper and dampen her married life".^[5]

Music of the film was composed by Usha Khanna and songs were written by Majrooh Sultanpuri.^[4] According to Mrityunjay Bose from Deccan Herald, it is one of Khanna's memorable soundtracks.^[6] The songs performed by Mohammed Rafi were his last collaboration with Khanna. This was also the last film in which Mohammed Rafi sang for Rajendra Kumar.^[7]
