Rekha wore a pretty golden Kanjeevaram saree and a red blouse for the show. She nailed her signature style of donning traditional jewellery, red lipstick, hair tied in a bun and adorned with red roses. During one of the segments of the show, Kapil urged Rekha to mimic the late legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar.
However, Rekha denied his request, and then Kapil revealed that she has a secret talent for mimicking people within just ten minutes. He went on to say:
“Ek baar hum Rekha ji ke sath baithe hue the, vo itne ache se bariki se pakdti hai. Apse 5 minute baat kar legi, apki awaz, apki expressions hubahu, vo alag baat hai yeh sharmati hai. Lekin apka talent mai ne dekha hai, vo mere dil mein yaad hai jo humesha rahegi.”
Kapil then asked her to mimic Lata Mangeshkar. Rekha narrated an anecdote of her life to him and stated that one day, the legendary singer invited her to her birthday. She went there and told her how she was her biggest fan and said that she wish God blesses her with a daughter like her in her next birth. Recalling the incident, Rekha said:
“Suniye na, she invited me on her birthday party. In front of every I had told her, mai ne kaha, ‘Lata didi I am your biggest fan aur agar bhagwanji meri baat ap sun rahe thai toh ap agle janam mein mujhe Lata ji jaisi beti jarrur dena. Toh unhone palat kar, kaha, ‘Agle janam mien kyo, mai isi janam mein apki beti hoon.”
Rekha added that she started calling her mother from that day onwards. The veteran actress revealed that she came to her the same night and said:
“Vo usi waqt mere pass aye, kehti, ‘Mumma.’ Vo din hai or aaj ka din hai abhi bhi mere kaano mein unki awaj gunjti hai. Maa.”
