One such throwback comes from the 2010 Screen Awards, where Rekha shared the stage with Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor, and left everyone surprised with her choice of favourite romantic actors.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_2026-03-31_114245_1774937574666_1774937581559.png\" alt=\"Shah Rukh Khan and Rekha\" title=\"Shah Rukh Khan and Rekha\" width=\"360\" height=\"202\" loading=\"eager\"\/>Shah Rukh Khan and Rekha<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">The segment began on a playful note, with Shah Rukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor joining Rekha on stage for a dance. The two actors then went on to shower her with compliments, celebrating her timeless beauty and charm, before steering the conversation in a fun direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">After the praise, Shah Rukh asked Rekha to name her favourite actors, only for Shahid to quickly specify, favourite \u2018romantic\u2019 actors. What followed was a moment that caught many off guard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is unbelievably romantic\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Rekha began listing her favourites, but instead of naming contemporary stars, she chose to honour legends. \u201cFirstly, 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\u2026\u201d she said, continuing her list of iconic names.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">As the list grew longer, Shah Rukh interrupted with a playful nudge, suggesting she might have forgotten someone. Shahid added that perhaps she had missed someone from their generation. Rekha responded with a witty remark, \u201cI must have forgotten because of the age gap,\u201d prompting laughter from the audience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Keeping the banter going, Shah Rukh quipped, \u201cPar aap toh athra baras ki hai,\u201d referencing Rekha\u2019s popular song. He then jokingly reminded her that both he and Shahid were her big fans, subtly hinting that their names hadn\u2019t made it to the list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Rekha handled the moment with her signature grace and humour. \u201cI have many fans,\u201d she replied, before playfully obliging when Shah Rukh asked her to give them autographs on their hearts. She mimed signing on their chests, turning the moment into a crowd-pleasing act. The segment ended with Rekha asking both actors to dance for her, bringing the playful exchange full circle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content \">Years later, the moment remains a reminder of Rekha\u2019s wit and her timeless admiration for classic romance on screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Award show stages have often delivered moments as entertaining as the films themselves.
