Rekha reacts to Kapil's Amitabh mimicry

Rekha appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show, discussing her life and career. In one segment, Kapil spoke about his time on KBC as a guest. He said, “While we were playing KBC with Bachchan sahab, my mother was seated in the front row." Kapil then mimicked Amitabh and continued, "He asked her, ‘Devi ji, kya kha ke paida kiya (What did you eat before giving birth to him)?’” Before Kapil could continue, Rekha interrupted with revealed his mother’s reply: “Daal-roti.” Kapil confirmed that this what she had said. Rekha smiled and added, “Mujhse puchiye na, ek ek dialogue yaad hai (Ask me, I remember each and every line of dialogue)."

Rekha and Amitabh worked in nine films together in the 1970s and 1980s. They were rumoured to be involved in an affair even as Amitabh was married to Jaya Bachchan. However, reports claim that the actors ended the affair in the early 1980s. Amitabh, Rekha, and Jaya acted together in Yash Chopra's Silsila, which was then called the 'casting coup of the century'.
