Megastar Chiranjeevi confesses he calls his wife Rekha; Here's why

Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR) National Awards took place on November 17th at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. The event was attended by the entire Akkineni family including Naga Chaitanya, Nagarjuna, Amala, Akhil and others. Megastar Chiranjeevi graced the event as the chief guest and also felicitated Sridevi and Rekha with the ANR Award. Boney Kapoor, who was receiving the award on behalf of his late wife, broke down into tears as he accepted the award. Also, as Chiranjeevi presented the award to the evergreen Rekha, he confessed something interesting about his wife Surekha. 

The megastar, who is a big fan of Rekha, confessed at the event that he addresses his wife Surekha as 'Rekha'. The Sye Raa actor said, "I am a big fan of Rekha. She is of eternal beauty. My wife’s name is Surekha but I fondly call her as Rekha because of my admiration towards Rekha. I never told this to my wife too." The audience burst into laughter as Chiranjeevi revealed this and it sounds super cute. Isn't it? Meanwhile, Rekha shared that she will soon make her comeback in Telugu cinema. "To get fluency in the language, I want to do a Telugu film soon. I have to hone my speaking skills akin to how Sridevi used to deliver her dialogues effortlessly," said Rekha.
