This actress made her debut in 1970 and became a superstar. She was linked with many actors but never found her true love.
From the 70s to the 90s, several Bollywood actresses made their debut. Some turned out to be the most iconic actresses of these eras, while others landed in controversies and couldn’t achieve significant success at the box office. This particular actress struck a chord with the audience upon her debut, and over the years, she carved a place in fans’ hearts. Before making her debut, she also worked as a child artist in South Indian films as early as 1954. This actress became famous among everyone due to her strong feelings for one of her co-actors. However, despite having such a controversial life, she remains single and is now 69 years old.
If you are wondering who we are talking about, it is none other than the beautiful Rekha. She made her Hindi debut in 1970 with the film Sawan Bhadon, which turned out to be a massive hit. Rekha came from an acting family, where her mother, Pushpavalli, was also an actress. Seeing her mother work with passion ignited Rekha’s zeal to become an actress. As a result, young Rekha spent her time on film sets instead of playing with toys.
Through her talent, Rekha carved out a unique space for herself in the industry with her first film, Sawan Bhadon, in 1970. The journey to her current status has not been easy, and she has faced numerous challenges along the way. In the early years of her career, the actress received a lot of criticism regarding her appearance. Over time, Rekha transformed her looks significantly. While her slender figure and dusky complexion suited her, she endured considerable scrutiny regarding her appearance at the start of her acting career.
Despite the demotivation, Rekha remained focused on her career and worked hard. However, apart from her professional endeavours, her personal life also made headlines. Throughout her career, she has been the subject of much discussion regarding her romantic relationships.
In the film Sawan Bhadon, Rekha shared the screen with Navin Nischal. After the release of the film, rumours of the duo dating began circulating on the internet. There were also rumours of Rekha’s relationships with Jeetendra, Kiran Kumar, Vinod Mehra, and Raj Babbar. However, her relationship with Amitabh Bachchan is still frequently discussed, even though she claims to have never found true love.
Rekha tied the knot with Delhi-based industrialist Mukesh Agarwal in 1990. However, he died by suicide in seventh months of marriage.
