Rekha
was
honoured
by
IMPAA
for
her
contribution
to
Bollywood
at
Hotel
Time
and
Again
on
Friday,
26th
September
evening.
She
had
come
to
attend
the
event
in
her
usual
dazzling
self
wearing
one
of
her
best
sarees
and
leaving
her
hair
open,
fluttering
many
a
male
hearts
even
at
this
age.
The
timeless
beauty
got
an
unwanted
admirer,
in
the
form
of
veteran
filmmaker
Saawan
Kumar.
Now
Saawan
who
has
worked
with
Rekha
in
over
three
films
-
Pyar
Ki
Jeet
(1987),
Souten
Ki
Beti
(1989)
and
Mother
(1999)
was
expecting
that
Rekha
would
acknowledge
his
presence
and
speak
fondly
to
him
but
she
did
none
of
that.
Our
source
present
at
the
event
told
us,
"He
kept
trying
his
best
to
engage
her
in
a
conversation
but
she
kept
ignoring
him
royally
even
as
the
present
press
photographers
kept
clicking
them
both
in
this
manner.
The
reason
was
unknown
but
perhaps
he
was
insisting
on
making
another
film
with
her
and
she
was
not
interested
in
talking
about
it
anymore
after
saying
no
once."
Saawan
Kumar
who
looked
visibly
hurt
after
this
spurning
left
the
function
without
speaking
much
to
others.
But
before
leaving
he
was
overheard
speaking
to
someone
that
he
didn't
expect
such
behaviour
from
Rekha
especially
after
having
had
such
a
long
healthy
work
relationship
with
her.
