Of the many epic encounters, none was more special than this Silsila of Jaya Bachchan and Rekha hugging each other during the show. Dressed in silk and diamonds, with gajras to match, the actresses were photographed exchanging pleasantries, no visible sign of their reported one-time rivalry. Rekha and Big B were co-stars in many hit films and their rumoured romance forms a part of Bollywood folklore. The affair reportedly came to an end with 1981's Silsila and Big B and Rekha never acknowledged each other in public  for 33 years till 2014's Screen Awards where he famously greeted her with a namaste.
