IIFA 2018 goes on air on television tonight and we couldn't be more excited about it. We already saw videos of it on social media and we will finally be able to enjoy the entire awards night on television. More than watching the IIFA 2018 winners taking away their trophies, we are excited for the performances. The event has witnessed shimmery performances and honors of the stars and the cinema till date. This time too, it was a blend of hilarious skits, hosting and energetic performances by the young blood of B-town. However, who stole all the limelight this year is none other than yesteryear diva REKHA! The Bollywood beauty performed on her evergreen number Salaam-E-Ishq Meri Jaan from Amitabh Bachchan starrer Muqaddar Ka Sikander (1978).

Now calling her a 'yesteryear' diva would be really unfair. Look at the video of the graceful goddess. Who would think that it is an event held in 2018 and not 70s? The Silsila actress has not aged even a bit and this one is a fine example of what they call an 'ageless beauty'. Not only her appearance but her nuances and expressions while performing were just as fresh as she did during her golden period and we are seriously awestruck! Watch the video here.

It is not a new thing that there has been a massive fan-following of Rekha and Amitabh as a couple, onscreen. The duo were allegedly dating while they were at the peak of their career. Their off-screen romance made their on-screen chemistry look even more sizzling.

Watch original song here:

Now, even after the duo parted ways, their movies and songs cannot be forgotten and this one remains one of the most cherished ones. So here's to all those who miss the original diva and of course her pairing with Amitabh Bachchan! We want more of these!
