Back in 1996, Bollywood's divas Kajol and Rekha teamed up for a 'cosy' photoshoot for a popular film magazine's January issue. The photoshoot raised many eyebrows as both Rekha and Kajol were seen tucked into one off-shoulder sweater which did not go down too well with fans. As per reports, the photoshoot created quite a stir which also led to a controversy. 

Years later when Kajol graced Priyanka Chopra Jonas' star-studded wedding reception in 2018, she shared a picture with veteran actor Rekha. Kajol's caption to her Instagram story stole the show. On sharing the picture, the Helicopter Eela actor wrote, "Last time we clicked a picture together was in a sweater." Kajol's caption to the post referred to her and Rekha's 1996 photoshoot in a single oversized sweater.
