One True Love is Enough," Says Rekha in Her Wittiest Reply to Kapil Sharma
When Kapil playfully brought up the word “love,” Rekha brought about a response as wise as witty. Kapil jokingly quoted some poets saying love can’t have an age and can happen multiple times. Rekha, by using her trademark charm, quipped that Mere khayal se agar sahi aadmi ho toh ek hi baar kaafi hai! Kitne baar, kitne aadmi karenge?

This witty yet poignant response left the audience in splits and set the tone for a deeper discussion. Rekha explained that, in her view, if love is true and the person is right, it doesn’t need repetition. Her words resonated with a simplicity that only someone with her experience and wisdom could convey.
Beyond romantic love, Rekha emphasized the importance of self-love—a theme she holds close to her heart. She elaborated on her philosophy, saying “Mera tazurba ye hai… main apni baat kar sakti hoon… sabse pehle toh main sab cheez se pyaar karti hoon. Kaam se, mere doston se, duniya se, nature se… lekin sabse zyaada main pyaar karti hoon khud se.”
It is a very important lesson for many: the fact that self-love is the base of all other loves-learned from Rekha, the actress. It’s also a perspective that speaks to her resilience and her ability to thrive despite challenges, heartbreaks, and controversies.
Rekha Credits Her Dandiya Skills to a Legendary Co-Star – Guess Who?
As the conversation steered towards her memorable scenes, a fan asked about the memorable dandiya sequence in the song O Sheronwali from Suhaag. Rekha, who had performed the Gujarati dance without a hitch, though a South Indian, did not accept the praise and instead passed it on to her co-star in the scene. Without naming Amitabh Bachchan, she said “Ye sochiye ke jinke saath main Dandiya khel rahi thi, wo kya shaks hai. Acha nahi khelungi toh kya karungi? Dandiya aati ya na aati ho, saamna aise aadmi-shaqs aa jaata hai toh khud hi har angh angh theedakne lagta hai.“
Her words were layers of meaning, humor, admiration, and an unmistakable connect to her legendary co-star. Rekha’s love for Amitabh has been a public fascination, and moments like these continue to fuel that intrigue.
Rekha’s Bold Confession: The Truth About Her Feelings for Amitabh Bachchan
This is not the first time Rekha has spoken about love and her feelings for Amitabh Bachchan. In a candid interview with Simi Garewal on Rendezvous with Simi Garewal, Rekha admitted to loving him, though she clarified that they never had a personal connection. She famously said “Absolutely. Duh, that’s a dumb question. I have yet to come across a single man, woman, child who can help but fall completely, passionately, insanely, desperately, hopelessly in love with him. So why should I be singled out? What do I deny? I’m not in love with him? Of course I am.” Rekha’s open acknowledgment of her admiration for Amitabh was groundbreaking at the time, and it remains one of the most memorable moments in Indian talk show history.
Rekha’s appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show wasn’t all serious talk—it was peppered with humor and charm. Her ability to laugh at herself and share anecdotes from her career left the audience in awe. For instance, she hilariously recounted how her dance moves often came “auto-mode” when performing with charismatic co-stars like Amitabh. Her grace, both on-screen and off, continues to captivate audiences. At seventy, Rekha proves that age is just a number when it comes to enchanting the hearts of millions.
