Rekha: A Timeless Beauty Everyone Remembers

Coming from a broken home, Rekha's life was filled with misery during her childhood. Her father did not acknowledge her existence and she had to fend for herself.

Being an actress was not a dream for this legendary diva, she had no other choice only because of the poor financial conditions of her family. She started as a child artist in a Telugu film and then featured alongside Rajkumar as a lead heroine in a Kannada film during her teens.

After some struggle and achieving success down south, she managed to enter the film industry in Mumbai which was not easy for someone who has entered the city for the first time. She faced a lot of criticism and abuses because of her dusky face and plumpy body during her stint in Bollywood.

Rekha decided to get back at the big bad world of Bollywood by transforming her image from an ugly duckling to beautiful swan. Her style statement and her lean figure got most of the producers running after her for multiple film offers and she was quite a sought-after star in the industry.

Some of her iconic films are Umrao Jaan, Khoon Bhari Maang, Khoobsurat and Silsila. But her charisma and charm was revived in this popular song called Kaisi Paheli from Parineeta which is listened even now.

Despite all the stardom, she considers living alone all by herself, but there is one person who has backed Rekha in taking most of the important decisions in life ranging from appearances in reality shows to posing as a model for fashion magazines. The person is none other than Farzana who has been spotted with her at various events.

Well, what a life of an actress whose life was similar to Cinderella whose life was a rags-to-riches story with immense dedication. We wish her all the best for her forthcoming ventures and keep inspiring many actresses like this.
