Shilpa says Rekha has always been a source of inspiration. 'She, according to me, is the perfect Bollywood diva. There's such a mystique surrounding her. We've been constantly in touch to discuss many things,' she said.

But now the friendship has gone beyond sharing beauty tips to another level of sharing confidences and philosophies of life. Apparently, after the spa was officially declared open, Rekha sent Shilpa a letter saying Shilpa is doing everything that she (Rekha) always wanted to do.

'It is one of the most heart-warming moments of my life. The two of us are now very close,' said Shilpa.
