To make things worse for rekha, in an interview, filmmaker subhash ghai shamed rekha for defaming the film industry. He had said, “Rekha has put such a blot on the face of the film industry that it will be difficult to wash it off easily. I think after this any respectable family will think twice before accepting any actress as their daughter-in-law. It is going to be difficult for him professionally as well. No conscientious director would work with him again. How will the audience accept her as India's woman or goddess of justice?"
