From Vinod Mehra, and Akshay Kumar to Kanwaljeet Singh and Raj Babbar, Rekha’s name has been linked with many Bollywood stars. Years ago an incident related to Raj Babbar and Rekha’s affair came into limelight that surprised many. Raj Babbar was already married when he fell in love with Smita Patil. She died suddenly after delivering a boy. In those days Raj Babbar was quite vulnerable and soon his affair with Rekha started.

The two actors have worked in many films together. Rekha was well aware that Raj Babbar was married to Nadira and had kids. A buzz said that Raj Babbar and Rekha had an affair for a very short time. Both of them knew right from the start that it wouldn’t work in the long run.

Raj Babbar shocked Rekha with his sudden decision to breakup

Suddenly Raj Babbar thought that he could not continue his relationship with Rekha and told her that he was breaking up. Although not much is known about their last communication, earlier reports suggest that they had a heated argument. While Raj Babbar walked out after the argument, much to the amazement of the general public Rekha was seen running behind him barefoot in Mumbai. Rekha was running behind her Jhoothi co-star like something had possessed her.

Over the years while Rekha has constantly refused the rumours, Raj Babbar during one of his interviews opened up about it saying, “Yes, our relationship helped me in a way. We drifted together because of certain circumstances. At that time, Rekha had broken off from a long-standing relationship. She wanted to get away from it. I was in a similar situation.”

“At the same time, we were also working together and we clung to each other for emotional support. We tried to understand each other’s problems,” Raj Babbar had added.
