Entertainment News: Veteran actress Rekha made a memorable appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show, captivating audiences with her charm and wit. During the show, she engaged in a segment that indirectly referenced her past with megastar Amitabh Bachchan, stirring mixed reactions among fans and netizens alike. While Rekha's fans celebrated her presence, many expressed their frustration, suggesting it was time for her to 'move on' from the shadows of her former relationship.

A Subtle Reference to a Legendary Collaboration

In one notable moment, a fan praised Rekha's performance in the classic song 'O Sheronwali' from the film Suhaag, where she shared the screen with Bachchan. The fan inquired how she managed to perform dandiya so well, given her South Indian background. Without directly naming Bachchan, Rekha responded with a playful remark: 'Ye sochiye main jinke saath dandiya kar rahi thi, woh kya shaqs the! Achha nahi khelungi toh kya karungi? Dandiya aati ho ya na aati ho, saamne aisa shaqs aa jaata hai toh khud hi ang ang thirakne lagta hai!' This statement drew cheers from the audience but also raised eyebrows online.

Netizens React: Calls for Rekha to Move Forward

Despite the applause from fans in attendance, many netizens felt that Rekha’s reference to Bachchan was unnecessary. Comments flooded social media platforms, with one user urging, “Rekha Ji, for God’s sake move on,” while another suggested that her repeated mentions of Bachchan were merely attempts to stay relevant in public discourse. A particularly pointed comment questioned why discussions about Bachchan seemed inevitable whenever Rekha was present, asking, 'If she is so inspired by him... why doesn't she actually work like how he is working at his age?'
