Rekha is a star who shone as the heroine face of Indian cinema in the 1970s. Described as an actress ahead of her time, Rekha has played many different characters. Born and raised in South India, it wasn’t easy for Rekha to gain a foothold in the Hindi film industry. But the actress was able to mark Rekha’s name in the film industry. Rekha’s life often progressed like a movie.
Rekha’s life and career filled the news with many incidents such as abandonment by her father, actor Gemini Ganesan, controversies and competition in the film industry, love breakups. Living alone at the age of 68, Rekha has been through many dramatic events in her life.
Even today many people clearly do not know what happened between Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha. Following the suicide of her husband Mukesh Agarwal, the actress was subjected to widespread abuse. Gossip has always followed Rekha.
Rekha once had to face tough competition in the film industry. Rekha was not on good terms with some of the actresses. The mother of actor Sanjay Dutt and actress Nargis Dutt was the person who opposed Rekha.
Sanjay Dutt and Rekha acted together in the movie Sameen Azman. Then there were reports that Sanjay and Rekha were close. But the actor’s mother wasn’t too impressed with the document. Also, Nargis started speaking insulting Rekha.
“She gives men a hint that she is an easy woman to get to. Some see Rekha as a witch. Sometimes I can understand her. I have worked with many children with mental health problems. She got lost. She needs a strong man,’ Nargis then said.
Interestingly, the son of Nargis is not the only one who has filled the gossip columns along with Rekha. Earlier there were rumors that Nargis’s husband Sunil Dutt and Rekha were in love. Both of them have acted together even in the movie Ahimsa. Nargis Dutt died in 1891.
The actress’s son, Sanjay Dutt, was once a controversial figure in Bollywood. Rekha has been away from the acting industry for many years. Meanwhile, Ella Rekha makes her presence known at award ceremonies and other events.
There were gossips about Rekha’s relationship with many actors, but all of these got mixed up over time. But even today the Amitabh Bachchan-Rekha relationship is disputed. Bachchan has never openly said that he is in love with Rekha. But the document indicated this in many places. This is what brought gossip to life. But now neither Rekha nor Bachchan are talking about it.
Many books have been published about Rekha’s life, narrating the history of Hindi cinema. The life and career of the actress has been written about in detail in the book ‘Rekha The Untold Story’. This book is written by Yasser Usman.
