Amidst a fun chat with Jeetendra revealed that when his chartered accountant found a problem, he mentioned that the officer in charge was a huge fan of Rekha and would be excited to meet her. When Jeetendra called Rekha and explained the situation, she quickly agreed to help!
She went out of her way to be cordial with the officer. What’s more she even served him snacks with her own hands. The fan boy was floored and his tax problems were all sorted. Unless it’s a true friend nobody does it.There have been many instances where she’s just been there rock solid. He even went on to add, “Rekha is his jaan (beloved) and an “yaaron ka yaar.”
Some of the duo’s memorable films together include Ek Bechara, Anokhi Ada, Suntan, Karmayogi Judaai, Jal Mahal Maang Bharo Sajana Mehndi Rang Layegi Mera Pati Sirf Mera Hai and Sheshnaag (1990).

All through her her career, she has shared screen space with many top actors and has been romantically linked to a few, including Amitabh Bachchan and Jeetendra himself.
