“Who would not be attracted towards Rekha ji?” Arya Babbar

Human nature explained to attraction: Arya Babbar said, “As far as being attracted towards Rekha ji is concerned, she is such a beautiful person and such a beautiful woman that who would not be attracted towards her? If I were in her place, I too would have been attracted. If my father got attracted towards her, then it happened; it is completely human nature. It happens like this all over the world.”

Joke about affair: During the podcast, Arya had earlier jokingly said that after Smita Patil’s death, his father had moved on and he had an affair again. However, later he laughingly clarified that he was just joking, but people catch hold of this fact.
What is the whole story of Rekha running barefoot on the road?
In the podcast, Vicky Lalwani also mentioned to Arya that old media report, which claimed that one day Rekha was seen running barefoot behind Raj Babbar on the streets of Mumbai and Raj Babbar was running away from her.
On this, Arya Babbar laughed and took the matter lightly and said, “If there was a race on the road between Rekha ji and Papa, then it simply means that both of them were very fit at that time! Now no one knows whether they ran in the morning, during the day or at night.” After this, becoming serious, Arya said that people should leave old things and move ahead in life.
What were the reports of that time? According to old media reports, after Smita Patil’s death, Raj Babbar started missing his first wife Nadira Babbar and children and wanted to return to his family. It is said that Rekha became very upset and emotional due to this. Due to this rift, he was seen running after Raj Babbar on the streets of Mumbai without wearing slippers. At that time, there was a strong discussion that Rekha had also filed a complaint of domestic violence against Raj Babbar, which the police did not take seriously.
Raj Babbar himself admitted that he received ’emotional support’ from Rekha.
Raj Babbar has always been very honest and vocal about his personal life and relationships. He himself had admitted in some old interviews that his relationship with Rekha had helped him overcome the biggest sorrow of his life.
Raj Babbar had told that when he was immersed in the grief of losing Smita Patil, at the same time, Rekha’s long and famous relationship (with Amitabh Bachchan) also broke. Both were going through similar phase of life and mental state. When both of them started working together in films, they understood each other’s situations and both got deep emotional support from each other.
