When Rekha said she is only scared of Big B: ‘Pyaar se darr nahi lagta, voh toh main beintehaan kar sakti hun’

Salman blushed and said, “Kafi laga tha mujhe, shayad isliye meri shadi nahi hui (I thought about it then, maybe that’s why I am not married)”. Rekha then interrupted him and said, “Ab yeh boliye ki isliye maine shadi nahi ki (Now you should say, maybe that is why I did not get married)”.

The episode aired around Dabangg’s release and the actors performed on a few dance numbers from the film and had Rekha saying the dialogue “Thappad se darr nahi lagta” but she twisted it a bit. She added, “Pyaar se bhi darr nahi lagta, voh toh main beintehaan kar sakti hun. Mujhe darr lagta hai bas ek hi cheez se lagta hai, Big B se, Bigg Boss se (I am not scared of loving, I can do that. I am just scared of one thing, Big B, Bigg Boss).”

Rekha saying Big B on the stage got an applause from the audience, however, she meant Bigg Boss and not Amitabh Bachchan. Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan were rumoured to be a couple in the late 1970s. While Amitabh has stayed mum on the subject, Rekha has addressed the rumours in various interviews.
