When Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid Kapoor teased Rekha to name her ‘favourite romantic hero’, her answer left them surprised

Rekha then gave a long list of her “favourite romantic actors.” She said, “Firstly, I will say Dilip Kumar. He is unbelievably romantic. Then Dev Anand, Raj Kapoor, Shammi Kapoor, Shashi Kapoor, Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Rajesh Khanna, Vinod Khanna, Shatrughan Sinha…” While Rekha was saying more names, SRK interrupted and said, “I think you forgot someone.” This led to a tense moment at the awards show.

Shahid then said, “Maybe someone from our generation whom you have forgotten.” Rekha responded, “I must have forgotten because of the age gap.” Shah Rukh then quipped, “Par aap toh athra baras ki hai (But you are 18 year old),” referring to Rekha’s hit track “Athra Baras Ki Tu Hone Ko Aayi Re.”

Shah Rukh further reminded Rekha that she forgot to take his and Shahid’s names as they both are her “big fans.” Rekha said, “I have many fans.” Then Shah Rukh said that she should give the autograph on their hearts, and Rekha acted as if she is signing autographs on SRK and Shahid’s chest. After the fun banter, Rekha insisted that both SRK and Shahid dance for her in return for all the teasing they did with her on stage. The two were then seen shaking a leg with Rekha at the awards show.
