Bollywood's 'Bihari Babu' and outspoken personality, Shatrughan Sinha, needs no introduction. He made a splash in the industry by starting as a villain, and when he became a hero, he surpassed even the biggest stars. His dialogues and dance moves always kept the audience glued to the screen. But did you know that Shatrughan Sinha and Rekha didn't speak to each other for 20 years? This is true, but why did this happen? People speculated that Amitabh Bachchan might be the reason, but he wasn't. So what was the reason, who brokered the peace, and how did they start talking again? Let's find out.

Shatrughan Sinha and Rekha were seen together in films like 'Dost Aur Dushman' and 'Do Yaar'. Their pairing was well-liked in these films. But then, something suddenly happened between them that led to a complete breakdown in communication.

Shatrughan Sinha himself revealed the reason. He said that people made many guesses about why they stopped talking, and Amitabh Bachchan's name was also linked to it. But Big B was not the reason.

Rekha and Shatrughan Sinha were shooting for Rakesh Roshan's film 'Khoon Bhari Maang', and they would argue over "small things."

In an interview with Zoom, Shatrughan himself confessed this. He said, "We disagreed with something small. After that, we didn't speak for more than 20 years." He mentioned that both of them started their careers almost at the same time and worked together in many films. Shotgun said that the Rekha of that time was quite different from the perfect Rekha of today.

Shatrughan's comments refuted the reports that claimed Rekha was the reason for the rift in his friendship with Amitabh Bachchan.

In his biography 'Anything But Khamosh', Shatrughan revealed that during the shooting of 'Kaala Patthar', a heroine would often come to meet Amitabh. But he clarified that this was a separate issue from his disagreement with Rekha. Shatrughan Sinha credited his wife, Poonam Sinha, with ending the long-standing estrangement between him and Rekha.

Poonam was a close friend of Rekha, and the tension between the two had been bothering her. She played a crucial role in bringing about their reconciliation.

Sharing her experiences, she emphasized that misunderstandings should not be allowed to fester and that efforts should be made to resolve them.

In 2023, Rekha and Shatrughan Sinha met at the wedding reception of Leslie Timmins and Saachi Nayak in Mumbai. Rekha touched Shatrughan's feet before hugging him. This gesture of Rekha towards Shatrughan went viral on social media. Rekha then hugged his wife, Poonam Sinha.

Shatrughan Sinha was last seen in the 2018 film 'Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se'. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan acted in 'Vettaiyan', which was released in October this year.

Rekha is known for classics like 'Silsila', 'Khubsoorat', 'Umrao Jaan', and 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar'.
