Veteran actor Rekha is one of the most iconic women to have ever featured on the silver screen in India. Renowned for her beauty, her talent and her ability to reinvent herself, the actress has also had her fair share of media controversy. In the past, there were rumours that she was seeing Amitabh Bachchan, who was already married to Jaya Bachchan at the time. The trio also starred in Silsila which was not only a casting coup but a blockbuster hit. Years have passed since then but the supposed ‘scandal’ still manages to come up in conversation every now and then. Such was the case when Rekha made an appearance on a television show. The host, Jay Bhanushali, asked the judges – Rekah and Neha Kakkar – if they have ever noticed a woman falling madly in love with a man even if he is married.
“Muhse puchiye na (Ask me),” Rekha quipped, leaving Bhanushali astounded. She followed it up with a “maine kuch nahi kaha (I didn’t say anything)”. The audience and the other judges, Kakkar and Vishal Dadlani burst into applause and laughter at her comment even as the Umrao Jaan actress smiled.
