Rekha’s personal life has been one of the most-gossiped matters ever in Bollywood. The diva, who had won hearts with her impeccable performances and drop-dead gorgeous looks had often hit the headlines with her personal life. Apart from her marriage with Mukesh Aggarwal, which ended on a traumatic note post the latter committed suicide, Rekha had grabbed the spotlight for her multiple affairs and relationships, which included Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Mehra, Raj Babbar and others. Amongst all, she also dated her co-actor, Kiran Kumar for a brief period during the 1970s. While they never spoke about their relationship in public back then, years later, Kiran Kumar opened up about his bonding with Rekha.
Kiran Kumar recalls ex-ladylove, Rekha, and calls her a person he will always cherish
In a recent interaction with Siddharth Kannan, Kiran Kumar spoke up about his past, especially about his rumoured ladylove, Rekha. When asked about Rekha’s controversial statement in Stardust Magazine about him being a ‘mumma’s boy who drank a glass of milk before bed’, Kiran revealed that the former was in fact, one of the loveliest people he ever crossed paths with. Heaping praises on Rekha’s beauty, Kiran mentioned:
“Rekha ji is a lovely person, she has a heart of gold and the face of a diva, I fail to understand how she can manage to look the way she looks now, after all these years. She’s a person I have a lot of reverence for. I haven’t crossed paths with her in a long time, but she’s somebody whom I’ll always cherish in my heart, that’s it.”
