Rekha once got emotional while talking about Shah Rukh Khan; recalled a beautiful sunset memory: 'He has been shining like a diamond'
Bollywood's one of the most iconic divas, Rekha, has ruled hearts for decades with her charm, grace and powerful performances. Known for her mysterious aura and timeless beauty, she remains a symbol of elegance in Indian cinema. Off-screen too, Rekha has built deep friendships with many of her co-stars and even some of the younger actors in the industry. While she shares warm bonds with actors like Deepika Padukone , Kangana Ranaut and Vidya Balan, it is Shah Rukh Khan who clearly holds a special place in her heart. Let's look back at the touching moment when Rekha opened up about Shah Rukh and revealed a sweet memory that brought out her emotional side. Rekha described SRK using Gulza's shayari Back in 2017, Rekha was invited to honour Shah Rukh Khan with the Yash Chopra Memorial Award. The event was attended by many veteran stars, including Shatrughan Sinha and Padmini Kolhapure . While all of them spoke about Shah Rukh with great admiration, it was Rekha's heartfelt speech that stood out the most. She didn't just speak with affection—she added poetry to her words. Using a beautiful shayari by Gulzar, Rekha poured her heart out about what SRK meant to her. 'Have you ever seen a soul?' Rekha began her speech by reciting a touching verse that described the essence of a soul. 'Have you ever seen a soul? Felt it? A body burns a hundred times but still turns to ash. But a soul, when it burns, turns into a diamond.' She then turned to the audience and said something that made everyone pause and reflect. 'That person, I don't know how many times that person has killed his soul, since his childhood. Which is while he has been shining like a diamond. I pray to God, that the way he has made us smile, he is a beautiful human being. Talent flows in his veins. But more than that, he has love to offer, which all of us have seen.' A sweet memory of a sunset Rekha didn't stop at poetry. She also shared a special and personal memory that left the audience smiling. She said, 'We were travelling to some show and we were on the airplane. I was so tired of working day and night. I had almost gone off to sleep when I was woken up by sounds of 'Rekha ji, Rekha ji please uthiye na! Rekha ji. Khidki niche kijiye na aur Bahar dekhiye nazara kitna khoobsurat, sunset hai. Use baad so jaaiyega (Please wake up, roll down your window. It's such a beautiful sunset outside. You can go back to sleep after that). '' She added that although she missed the actual sunset, she saw something even more beautiful. 'I did not see the sunset but turned around in slow motion, looked at him. It was Shah Rukh Khan. I looked into his eyes and felt bhaiyya, ye humari biradari ka insaan hai (He's a man of my kind).' This sweet moment spoke volumes about the warmth and connection Rekha felt towards him.
