At a recently held wedding reception of Leslie Timmins and Saachi Nayak, veteran actors Rekha and Shatrughan Sinha bumped into each other and shared a wholesome moment. Rekha who is 69 was seen touching Shatrughan (77)¡¯s feet before sharing a warm hug.
The Sinha family was accompanied by Poonam Sinha and actress Sonakshi Sinha.
In a heartwarming reunion shared by a paparazzi account, Rekha can be seen walking towards Shatrughan and touching his feet. She then hugged his wife Poonam Sinha and posed for shutterbugs. Shatrughan was seen warmly putting his hand around Rekha before the duo walked their way.
One user wrote, ¡°Owowowowowo nice.¡± Another said, ¡°Rekha ji respect button.¡± The third one asked, ¡°Aren't they almost the same age?¡± The fourth one commented, ¡°Ufff Rekha ji is looking simply the most beautiful¡±. The fifth added, ¡°Rekha ji ... absolutely gorgeous¡±.
In the 70s and 80s, the duo featured in several films together including Khoon Bhari Maang (1998), Rampur Ka Lakshman (1972), Do Yaar (1972), Kashmakash (1973), Kahtey Hain Mujhko Raja (1975), Parmatma (1978), Jaani Dushman (1979), Muqabla (1979), Chehre Pe Chehra (1981) and Maati Maangey Khoon (1984).
Despite being a popular on-screen pair, Rekha and Shatrughan had a major fallout during Khoon Bhari Maang. Shatrughan once spoke about it to Zoom and shared, ¡°We had a difference of opinion over some silly issue. After that, we didn¡¯t speak to each other for more than 20 years.¡±
Reasoning it, he shared, ¡°It was none other than my better half Shrimati Poonam Sinha. You see, Rekha and she were close friends. And my so-called cold war with Rekha was causing difficulties in my wife¡¯s friendship with Rekha. She patched us up for her own selfish reason. And I happily agreed to let bygones be bygones.¡±
Sinha confessed to making unpleasant remarks against her during the time they were not on good terms. He shared, ¡°I did make digs about her. I shouldn¡¯t have. To her credit, Rekha never retaliated. She is a very large-hearted generous woman.¡± Where Rekha never married, Shatrughan has three children with wife Poonam - Sonakshi, Luv and Kush.
