Rekha called Simi Garewal's question absurd
Responding to Simi Garewal, Rekha further said, "This is an absurd question. I have not met a single man, woman or child till date who does not love him with all their passion, madness, wildly and immensely. Then why should I be separated? What should I deny? That I don't love him? Of course I do. You take the whole world's love and get much more. I feel that way for that person. This is obvious."
Rekha had also denied a relationship with Amitabh Bachchan
In a conversation with Simi Garewal, Rekha had also denied having a relationship with Amitabh Bachchan. She had said, "There was no personal relationship with them. That's the truth. Never. There is no truth in controversies and speculations."
