Rekha remained in my husband Vinod Mehra's life - Kiran Mehra

One of the most mysterious tales of romance in the entertainment industry has been that of Vinod Mehra and Rekha from the yesteryears. 

Mehra's wife Kiran Mehra recently opened up on multiple topics in an interview with ETimes. 

Kiran and Vinod tied the knot in 1988 where Kiran's father was not in favour of this marriage. In fact, he had made all the arrangements to take her away from India; flight tickets were booked for Kenya! 

When Kiran was asked about everything from husband's past relationship to other instances, she said, "Stories come and go. But look, we were not from the industry. Moreover, India was not my home. And, the youngest daughter of the family (me) wanted to marry a man who was 20 years older than her! My father's concern was justified."

Talk about the infamous affair and rumors about Vinod and Rekha, she said, "Let me tell you- the person who remained in his life till his end is Rekha. She was like a family member and I still look up to her as a friend. Rekha is a wonderful person, very loving and forgiving. She even attended our marriage. If I meet her today, I will give her the tightest hug. I know her mother and sisters. I am not comparing myself to someone who's so high up there- but actually, Rekha and I are very similar."

Vinod Mehra passed away at the age of 45 due to a heart attack.
