Rekha hugs Jaya Bachchan as Amitabh Bachchan wins an award

The incident going viral took place during the 2015 Star Screen Awards when Amitabh Bachchan was honoured for his performance in Piku. While the veteran actor went on stage to receive his ‘Best Actor’ trophy, an overjoyed Rekha was seen running towards an unsuspecting Jaya Bachchan and hugging. As seen in the video, Jaya and Amitabh both rise from their seats when the winner’s name is announced. While the actor made his way to the dais to accept the award, Rekha, who was seated a couple of seats away, suddenly ran towards Jaya.

Doing the unexpected then, Rekha gave Jaya a big, affectionate hug and happily interacted with her for a couple of seconds before turning towards the stage. Both the actresses then stood side by side, watching as Amitabh accepted the prestigious award and gave a speech.
