 Ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra had hosted a grand bash for Sridevi for which many divas had come under the same roof. To see Rekha along with other leading actresses in the same frame was like picture perfect moment.

Rekha-Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bachchan 'Silsila' still continues to create a stir. We have rarely seen Big B and Rekha coming across each other during events. But a picture of them travelling in the same flight took the internet by storm. That photo left everyone stunned.

During an event Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha coincidentally happened to make an exit one after the behind at an award show. Even Big B’s wife Jaya Bachchan was present for the event. It was a huge surprise for witnesses seeing Jayaji blowing flying kiss to Rekha publicly. 

'Koi Mil Gaya' Rekha’s fondness for Hrithik Roshan is known to everyone. It happened at an award function when Rekha kissed Hrithik and it was an awkward moment. With that picture, the veteran actress killed all the motherly vibes.

Here's wishing Rekha a very Happy Birthday.
