From Rekha's love rumours to SRK's possessive nature, 5 most controversial revelations on Simi Garewal's show

Veteran actress Simi Garewal is famous for her acting skills and even more so for her talk show Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. The chat show first aired back in 2001 and clips from the show still go viral from time to time. The show was way ahead of its time and featured several film personalities sharing details about their lives much before the time of expertly curated content from their PRs. Today, as Simi celebrates her 77th birthday, let's take a look at 5 of the most controversial moments from the show where stars revealed the spiciest tea!




Rekha appeared on the show in her signature silk saree and red lip avatar and finally addressed rumours about her and Amitabh Bachchan. Without taking any names Rekha said, "I have yet to come across a single man, woman, or child who can't help but fall completely, passionately, insanely, desperately, hopelessly in love with him." and added, "So why should I be singled out?”


Superstar Shah Rukh Khana and his wife Gauri Khan also appeared on the chat show where they talked about their love life in their college days. Shah Rukh admitted back then he was very possessive in nature which eventually developed more into protectiveness. To this Gauri agreed that he was "disgustingly possessive" and "it was sick!"



Raveena Tandon also appeared on the show and talked about her rumoured dating life. She revealed that she had been prepared to stop acting following her engagement because she was asked to quit by the man she was supposed to marry. Many believe that she was talking about Akshay Kumar, as the couple were once rumoured to be dating and Akshay himself had admitted in an interview that he has been engaged in the past. The couple eventually broke up.


During the brief time when Kareena Kapoor's parents Babita and Randhir Kapoor were separated, and Kareena and her sister Karisma were living with their mother, the Jab We Met actress appeared on the famed talk show. During a discussion about her career and its trajectory, when Kareena was asked if she go to her father for advice, she said, "No, I go to my mother and with a mother like that, there's no need to go anywhere else."



Last but certainly not least, the legendary couple Amitabh Bachchan and his wife Jaya Bachchan appeared on the show and talked about their love life. When Simi Garewal asked Amitabh Bachan if he was romantic, he bluntly said, "No" and agreeing with him Jaya Bachchan added, "Not with me". This part of the show went immediately viral during a time when speculations were ripe about Amitabh Bachchan's alleged affair with Rekha.
