Rekha sings on comedy show!

The diva kept her date with Comedy Nights With Kapil and shot for the episode on Monday. Rekha not only let her hair down on the show, she also sang several songs including Aapki aankhon mein, Salaam-e-Ishq, Rang bare se, Ghoom hain kisi ke pyaar main and the Super Nani title track. She had especially brought along her harmonium, which she played while singing. Says a source, "Rekha has that harmonimum for 30 years now. The actress who was seen enjoying the show told Kapil that it was the first time, she was seeing herself in that avatar because usually she is quiet and keeps to herself. She also got emotional when she sang the Super Nani title track.

She said that she had been brought up by her nani and remembers her fondly. Another time she broke down was when a little girl came on stage. She sat on Rekha's lap and sang Neela aasman with her." Kapil Sharma, who had been looking forward to shooting the episode with his favourite actress, had gone to Rekha's house and spent two hours there to convince her to be on the show.
