How can one comprehend somebody like Rekha, the broadly tricky Bollywood symbol?
Her shining silk sari, the stunning gold and stone jewelry and her red lipstick may knock some people's socks off on any celebrity main street, however her persona has been kept reliably under wraps.
The 62-year-old on-screen character once in a while gives meets and is infrequently observed at Bollywood grant capacities.
She's remarkably unknown and she needs to keep it that way.
In any case, Rekha opened up to Gulf News newspaper! in front of being respected with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the premiere night of the thirteenth Dubai International Film Festival (Diff) on December 7.
So how would you de-confuse the 'Rekha marvel'?
"You don't," she says. "Firstly, I don't see how this word "marvel" is connected with me, so dream on. So, I don't think one lifetime is sufficient to comprehend one's own self, so to try and attempt to comprehend another totally is a purposeless work out."
Conceived as Banurekha Ganesan, the offspring recently Telugu performing artist Pushpavalli Ganesan and late Tamil genius Gemini Ganesan (who did not acknowledge her as his own in broad daylight amid her youth), has acted in more 180 movies.
Her biography is the stuff of legends and has enough sentiment and tension to match a Hindi melodic.
She broke into acting to spare her family from a budgetary chaos and has straightforwardly announced that at first she didn't appreciate acting — the make-up and the outfit adornments activated hypersensitive responses and she wasn't a devotee of the exploitative way of media outlets.
Be that as it may, her 1988 blockbuster Khoon Bhari Maang, in which she played an avenging dowager who changes herself with some substantial obligation plastic surgery to get even with a suitor, was a distinct advantage for her.
She started to understand the force of silver screen and of her own execution. While her carefulness of the spotlight hasn't darkened — maybe because of her cracked individual connections punctuated by marriage breakdowns and affirmed issues with co-stars — there's no denying her part as a pioneer in Indian silver screen. Whether it's playing a concubine with class in Umrao Jaan or the young lady adjacent in the sentimental show Khoobsurat, Rekha doesn't bashful far from re-creating herself.
