“When I saw Rekhaji’s Sawan Bhadon, I was a kid living in a small town with hardly a hope of ever visiting Bombay… and definitely no hope of ever meeting her personally !! Then years later I worked with her in “Ladai” where she called me to her makeup room and advised me on makeup and how to put on fake eyelashes, a trend she was credited with having started in Bollywood,” she wrote.

Archana recalled, ” I have memories of us in a Filmcity lawn chatting about this and that, and when I questioned her about who this ‘he’ she was referring to was, she countered with a ‘you don’t know who HE is’? She is warm, she is irrepressible, she is a living legend, and it has been an absolute delight to know her and meet her each time!! Dreams do come true for small kids from small hometowns. Thank you, Rekhaji, for rocking the episode that night.”

In 1989, Archana shared screen space with Rekha in ‘Ladaai’. Directed by Deepak Shivdasani. The film also starred Mithun Chakraborty, Dimple Kapadia, Mandakini, Gulshan Grover, Anupam Kher and Rohini Hattangadi in lead roles.
