When Rekha’s brief interaction with Amitabh Bachchan at Rishi Kapoor-Neetu Singh’s wedding brought tears to Jaya Bachchan

The camera captured Rekha gazing at Amitabh Bachchan, who was talking to director Manmohan Desai. After some while, Rekha went up to the veteran actor and started a discussion.

While Rekha's sindoor appearance drew everyone’s attention, Jaya Bachchan's emotional response heightened the drama of the event.

According to a Stardust magazine report, "Jaya tried to keep a stoic front for a long time, but eventually she had to bend her head and let the tears roll down."

Rekha later explained her look and revealed that the Sindoor and mangalsutra were simply part of her costume for a film she had been shooting. She further revealed that she headed to the wedding directly from the set and had forgotten to take them off.

However, President Neelam Sanjiva Reddy questioned the actor about her remarkable sindoor at the 1982 National Awards, when she was praised for her role in Umrao Jaan (1981).
