Last time Rekha appeared on 'Rendezvous with Simi Garewal' a couple of years ago she earned a lot of bad press for weird observations about life. So, what kind of flutters will she create this time around as she appears once again on Simi's pristine white show this Sunday on Star World. She is a diva alright and with Aishwariya coming in for a severe backlash for her cosmetic portrayal of 'Umrao Jaan' Rekha, the original 'Umrao' is very much in news. And that too for all the right reasons.
I hope Simi asks her about her acting supremacy rather than her eternal Amitabh Bachchan hangover. Fine, she shared a special relationship with Big B but then having been in four marriages and numerous other men that she courted, it's time she got over that AB fixation. Somehow she tends to bring in Jaya Bachchan in her conversation too and that too in a frivolous manner.
It's time Rekha realized that she is a strong willed woman who has survived the onslaught of time courageously. She deserves all the applause for her acting prowess as well as the fact that she has managed to live on her own terms (Not an easy task). But her love affair with Amitabh Bachchan is an old story and why stoke an old flame again and again! It doesn't even make for a good story any more.
