When Aishwarya was offered Umrao Jaan, she mentioned her encounter with Rekha during her modeling days when she was unknown to the industry. Aishwarya and her mom were coming out of some store, Rekha's car stopped in front of them and apparently Rekha told Aishwarya's mom that she feels a special connection with the girl and that this girl is going to make it big in the film industry. Rekha's prophecy did come true and another irony is that the girl married a Bachchan. 😆
