Veteran actress Rekha once again proved why she remains Bollywood’s most unapologetically expressive star. At the special screening of Ikkis, the evergreen diva was seen pausing in front of the film’s poster featuring Agastya Nanda — son of Shweta Bachchan and grandson of Amitabh Bachchan — and lovingly kissing it.

Her gesture instantly grabbed attention, leaving fans and paparazzi delighted by her warmth and affection. Rekha, who has always been known to encourage young talent in the industry, seemed genuinely proud of Agastya stepping into a powerful role with Ikkis, based on the life of war hero Arun Khetarpal.
However, the clip has sparked divided chatter online. While many praised her affection and blessing-like gesture, some social media users began drawing dramatic conclusions, linking her fondness to her long-rumoured history with the Bachchan family — something Rekha has always gracefully ignored.
Despite online buzz, what remained in focus was Rekha’s support for fresh talent and her unmistakable aura that lights up every event she attends. With Agastya earning praise for his performance in the film, this sweet moment has only added more charm to the film’s hype.
Ikkis is directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sriram Raghavan and stars Agastya Nanda, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Simar Bhatia in pivotal roles. The film hit theatres this Christmas and continues receiving positive response.
