On The Great Indian Kapil Show, Rekha gives her pearls of wisdom.
Legendary actress Rekha never shies away from proudly expressing her love, sharing her thoughts on relationships and their impacts. Having said that, she recently appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show which streams on Netflix, with new episodes released every Friday. During her time at the show, she also spoke about the essence of true love. In a candid interaction with the host of the show Kapil Sharma, she expressed that true love happens only once — if you meet the right partner.
During the show, Kapil Sharma humorously said that the poets often portray love in contradictory ways, leaving him confused. Replying, Rekha shared her views on love and said, “Mere khayal se agar sahi aadmi ho toh ek hi baar kaafi hai! Kitne baar, kitne aadmi karenge (If the person is right, then falling in love once is enough)?”
Highlighting the importance of self-love, she added, “Mera tajurba hai… main apni baat kar sakti hoon… sabse pehle toh main sab cheez se pyaar karti hoon. Kaam se, mere doston se, duniya se, nature se… lekin sabse zyada main pyaar karti hoon khud se (As far as I am concerned, I am in love with everything. With my friends, this world, with nature… but I am most in love with myself).”
Rekha’s candid opinions on love have once again sparked the debate – Is love really a once-in-a-lifetime experience? Well, those who have fallen in love more than once with different people, are aware that every time, it is different. There are various types of love one probably experiences in this life.
The concept of true love depends on how individuals define and perceive it. Factors like emotional depth, mutual understanding and shared values are all that reflects on the essence of true love. Besides, personal growth plays a pivotal role in shaping the ability to understand, communicate and get intimate while trying to form a romantic connection. True love happens only when all these aspects align, prompting the individual to perceive the relationship as their ‘one true love’.
For those who have missed out on the opportunity to experience true love, it is necessary to take time and gradually process the emotions after a heartbreak. This not only prepares you for future relationships but also cultivates the habit of self-love and fulfillment. It is important to stay open to new opportunities and build connections that can lead to meaningful relationships. Constantly seeking support from friends and loved ones also provides emotional support and helps you navigate your emotions easily.
