Bollywood Hot Actress Rekha

Rekha Biography

Rekha was born as Bhanurekha Ganesan on the 10th of October in 1954 in Chennai. She is one of the most brilliant as well gorgeous actresses of Bollywood. Well, in this article, we will present you with the biography of Indian actress Rekha.

Film Career
Rekha made her first public appearance as a child artist in the Telugu film Rangula Ratnam (1966). Goadalli CID 999, a Kannada film was her first film in which she played the lead role of heroine. She worked in a number of Telugu, Kannada and Hindi films. Her Hindi film Sawan Bhadon was a major hit in the box office. This film brought her stardom overnight. After that, she was offered plenty of roles, but most of the roles demanded her to be portrayed as a glamour girl.

Rekha (Bhanurekha Ganesan) is daughter of the well known film superstar Gemini Ganeshan and actress Pushpavalli. Both of her parents were film stars hence studio became her playground. Film studio was like second home for her. Rekha started acting very early, at the age of Thirteen . She did not even know Hindi at that time. But she was a quick learner and learnt hindi in three months and dancing in one month. Her first film Sawan Bhadon done with Navin Nischol, was released in 1970. Throughout the Seventies, she remained an insignificant entity in Bollywood with nothing but moderate success to her credit. Rekha turned out to be a smart girl. With the help of Yoga and make overs she underwent amazing transformation in early 1980s both physically and mentally, transforming from a plump, darkish, also-ran sort of leading lady to an athletic sexy looking damsel. This overnight transformation boosted her image in the Bollywood so much so that she reigned as number one for almost a decade! The transformation was so complete that it did not only change her appearance but also seemed to have enhanced her acting capabilities.It was at this stage that Amitabh Bachchan entered her personal and professional life. Their hits together like ‘Mukaddar Ka Sikandar’, ‘Mr. Natwarlal’, ‘Khoon Paseena’ and ‘Silsila’ made Amitabh-Rekha one of the most successful pairs on the Hindi screen. Her most memorable film is Umraoo Jaan in which she played the role of a court dancer with such charm and captivated the audience with her mastery of classical dances. She acted in over 20 films with the then reigning superstar Amitabh Bachchan with whom her reported love Affair culminated in Yash Chopra’s art-imitating-life movie Silsila.
Rekha was the undisputed number one film actress of the 80s and part of the 90s. She wasn’t just an actress though, Rekha was and still is a LEGEND, and it has been a calculated and hard earned effort. Much has been made of her “transformation” from (in her own words) “a round ball of flesh” (where I think she means a mere human) in the 70s into a toned and manicured ultimate fashion and beauty icon and screen ‘star’ in the 80s. She practiced yoga and mastered the art of make-up. She was media smart and kept herself in the top headlines for over a decade.
