Rekha Is Indeed Impressed With Priyanka’s Tribute

Actress Priyanka Chopra paid a heartwarming and thrilling tribute to veteran actress Rekha at the 13th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards Saturday by dancing to some of her popular songs.

Priyanka’s performance came ahead of the special honour conferred to Rekha for outstanding achievement in Indian cinema at the ceremony.

She started off with a remixed version of In aakhon ki masti ke from Umrao Jaan and went on to groove to songs such as Salaam-e-Ishq meri jaan, Pyar do pyaar lo and Pardesiya.

However, her performance rose to a different level when she was joined by Rekha herself. Posing like Dharmendra, Priyanka was seen getting naughty with the veteran actress while performing to Rafta rafta.

After receiving the special award, Rekha, known for films such as Khoobsurat and Silsila, said “I would like to dedicate this award to my producers who have inspired me and the young actors of our industry like Ranbir Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Priyanka Chopra, who are super talented. I am proud that I continue to be a part of film fraternity.” Source
