    When Rekha Visited Lassi_with_Lavina 

    [dropcap]W[/dropcap]ho would expect the fabulous Bollywood superstar Rekha to come to my lassi_with_lavina Instagram account and actually like a post that I had written about her a week ago?

    I was quite stunned to see that the legendary diva (Rekha_the_actress) with a fan following of 36k fans on Instagram and millions more worldwide,  had actually visited my little Instagram home, my little journalistic dhaba! Of course, it might be a staffer who handles her social media but I like to think it was the diva herself, sitting in her favorite armchair, who clicked the little heart and turned it red! 

    I wasn’t even there to offer her a glass of lassi but of course I quickly followed her back to  her Instagram home – Rekha_the_actress  – and was rewarded with the most stunning pictures of the star – even one of her as a young girl! If you haven’t visited her Instagram space, please do. There are rare pictures of Rekha with Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and so many more, old pictures and new ones.

    Sridevi and Rekha

    [dropcap]T[/dropcap]he real treasure includes pictures of Rekha with the iconic Sridevi. With so much gorgeousness  – you just don’t know where to look! Rekha had written this simple, heartfelt message: “One of my best friends passed away last night.. The funeral will be held today RIP”

    Another striking black and white picture shows them both together and Rekha has written: “Heartbreaking – miss these days.”

     

    One of my best friend pass away last night.. The funeral will be held today RIP

    And yes, here’s a video  of the two friends in happier days – Sridevi and Rekha in a time of beauty and joy, happiness and love, Bollywood style! Writes Rekha, “Unforgettable and warm wonderful day with my philosopher guide Srideviji.

    Would love to share your thoughts in the comments after this article!
