One of them wrote, “Nice, I watched in my childhood many of your films but one was a hit in USSR, Khoon Bhari Maang where you both with Rekha Ji acted. It was a huge hit also in Armenia, watched many times in our village cinema. Thank you.” "She is remarkably forgiving considering you almost fed her to the crocodiles," said another.
'Khoon Bhari Maang' is a remake of the Australian mini-series 'Return to Eden'( 1983). The film was released in 1988 and was a big hit. The film's plot revolved around Rekha as Aarati being pushed off a boat by her second husband Sanjay played by Kabir Bedi. Somehow, she miraculously survives the murder attempt and undergoes cosmetic surgery to plot revenge on her husband.
