Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: Actor Archana Puran Singh recently had an unforgettable experience meeting the legendary actress Rekha on The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show. Since the meeting, Archana has been praising Rekha for her humility and grace. Archana shared some candid moments with her fans by posting a series of pictures from the show, where both actresses looked radiant.
Rekha was dressed in a stunning cream and red saree, while Archana sported a chic black top paired with a grey blazer and matching pants. The two stars were seen sharing a warm and endearing moment together.
Archana took a trip down memory lane and recalled her early admiration for Rekha. “When I saw Rekhaji’s Sawan Bhadon, I was a kid living in a small town with hardly a hope of ever visiting Bombay… and definitely no hope of ever meeting her personally!!” she wrote. “Then years later I worked with her in Ladai where she called me to her makeup room and advised me on makeup and how to put on fake eyelashes, a trend she was credited with having started in Bollywood.”
She fondly remembered their time together in a Filmcity lawn, where they shared personal conversations. Archana even recalled asking Rekha about a mysterious “he” that Rekha referred to, with Rekha teasing her in return: “You don’t know who HE is?”
Archana praised Rekha’s warmth, vibrant personality, and legendary status in the film industry, describing her as an “irrepressible” and “living legend.” “It has been an absolute delight to know her and meet her each time!! Dreams do come true for small kids from small hometowns,” she added.
Archana ended her tribute by thanking Rekha for making the episode of The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show a memorable one.
Archana and Rekha shared the screen in the 1989 film Ladaai, directed by Deepak Shivdasani, alongside Mithun Chakraborty, Dimple Kapadia, Mandakini, Gulshan Grover, Anupam Kher, and Rohini Hattangadi.
