Simi Garewal, the lady who has got many of Bollywood’s top actors to open up and talk about personal life, told The Indian Express that it was “easy” asking Rekha about Amitabh.
Rekha was announced winner of the third National Yash Chopra memorial award Wednesday.
“It was easy asking her the question about Amitabh. If I can ask Jayalalitha if she was ever loved MGR, asking Rekha about Amitabh was much easier. A lot of people ask me how I got her to open up. I didn’t know if I did anything special. I don’t want to analyse it. I just chatted as good friends. Rekha and I go back a long way,” Garewal told The Indian Express.
“After all that controversy, I don’t think it was an easy thing to happen ( Amitabh and Rekha working together). He is a married man with children and grand children. So much hungama happened that we couldn’t expect that to happen again but I do agree they make a lovely pair onscreen.”
