When Rekha and Shatrughan didn’t talk for 20 years

After featuring in so many films, Rekha and Shatrughan had a fallout during the filming of Khoon Bhari Maang. Talking about it, Shatrughan had once told Zoom in an interview, “We had a difference of opinion over some silly issue. After that, we didn’t speak to each other for more than 20 years.” Giving credit to his wife Poonam for making their patch up, he had said, “Rekha and she were close friends. And so my so-called cold war with Rekha was causing difficulties in my wife’s friendship with Rekha. She patched us up for her own selfish reason and I happily agreed to let bygones be bygones.”
