Rekha meets Nita Ambani

As Rekha and Nita Ambani crossed paths, they embraced each other warmly, and chatted intimately while holding each other’s hands affectionately. Rekha wore a golden sari with matching jewellery and potli bag for the occasion. Her hair was neatly tied up in a bun. Meanwhile, Nita chose a parrot green sari and paired it with a silver embroidered blouse and matching earrings, with her hair also tied up in a bun. Nita told the paparazzi that they studied at the same school.

As Nita chatted with Rekha and Manish, Shilpa Shetty soon entered the frame and touched Rekha’s feet. Rekha blessed her and then embraced her, while paying attention to Nita’s words. Shilpa wore a white gown with pearl embellishments and a matching handbag. Meanwhile, Manish looked dapper in a black sherwani.
