Subhash Ghai once said, "Rekha has put such a blot on the face of the film industry that it'll be difficult to wash it away easily. I think after this any respectable family will think twice before accepting any actress as their bahoo. It's going to be tough even professionally for her. No conscientious director will work with her ever again. How will the audience accept her as Bharat ki nari or insaf ki devi?"

If you can kill your desire and stick to someone in spite of knowing that this person loves somebody else, staying under the same roof. It shows strength. I know it must be terrible for his wife, but there is nothing I can do. Ye image hai na - of being a seductress and home breaker. If I would have been the wife I would have felt the same way. But I would have killed the other woman!
