The timeless beauty of Bollywood, Rekha is celebrating her 68th birthday today. She is a versatile actress who defied norms by reinventing herself time and again, excelling in conventional as well as unconventional roles throughout her career.
Rekha's full name is Bhanurekha Ganesan though she is known as Rekha in the film industry. She was born on October 10, 1954, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
Rekha's father Gemini Ganesan was a Tamil actor and mother Pushpavalli was a Telugu actress. That's why Rekha was attracted to the film industry from an early age. Rekha started working in the film industry when she was just 15 years old.
Speaking of Rekha's personal life, she is quite mysterious. She is said to have fallen in love with film partner actor Vinod Mehra. The two were also married but Vinod's mother did not approve of their relationship.
Big B Amitabh Bachchan's name has definitely been associated with Rekha. The love stories of the two still make headlines. Jaya Bhaduri entered between Amitabh and Rekha and is also rumoured to have got married. There are many reasons behind this.
In the 1980s, Rekha attended the reception of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh with white sarees, bindi and vermilion. Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan were also present at the event. Rekha went straight to Amitabh and left the show after talking for a while. Seeing that, Jaya came there to cry. Even today, no one knows what happened between Amitabh and Jaya, it seems to be a mystery.
Rekha marries businessman Mukesh Agarwal after falling in love in the film industry. It is said that Mukesh was not mentally stable. He often tortured Rekha. Rekha left Mukesh's house after just a few months. Mukesh committed suicide in 1990 by hanging from a ceiling fan at home. Since then, everyone started blaming Rekha for it.
On the love front, Rekha's name is also associated with Biswajit, Jitendra, Naveen Nichal, Sajid Khan, Shatrughan Sinha and Akshay Kumar besides Amitabh.
