Veteran Bollywood actor Jeetendra once revealed that Rekha was her saviour when he was unable to solve this particular problem. Read on to find more details.
Rekha and Jeetendra have long been celebrated as iconic stars of their era, captivating audiences with their undeniable on-screen chemistry. Their connection, however, extended beyond the silver screen; off-screen, they shared a deep and meaningful friendship. Jeetendra once praised Rekha as his true friend, recounting how she stepped in to help him navigate a challenging income tax issue. Known for her generous spirit, Rekha has always been ready to lend a hand to those in need, showcasing her kindness both in her personal life and in the industry.
During an interview with Filmfare, Jeetendra expressed, “My real name is Ravi. Rekha calls me Ravia. The best habit of Rekha is that she is always ready to help people. I remember, once I had some problem related to income tax. When the chartered accountant told me about this, I did not know what to do. At the same time, he also told me that the income tax officer is a big fan of Rekha and would be happy to meet her. After this, I talked to Rekha and told her my problem, she immediately agreed to help.”
“After this Rekha came to my house. She met the officer very well. Not only this, Rekha also served breakfast to the officer with her own hands, due to which he became very happy and my tax problem also got resolved,” expressed Jeetendra.
Jeetendra expressed his admiration for Rekha by saying, “Only a true friend can show such kindness. Rekha is a significant part of my life; she’s always there to lend a helping hand. She truly embodies what it means to be a friend.”
