20 Explosive Quotes From Rekha - The Untold Story

The latest book on the evergreen actress Rekha is out and her untold stories are sweeping every cinema fanatic off their feet. The book not only quotes the actress on several occasions over love, life and films, but also shows the unseen side of her journey.

It’s almost like you’re reading a film script, scene by scene. As you move through the chapters which are written very dramatically, your emotional graph for the woman reaches its crests and troughs. You’d be surprised on knowing about her past, her struggle as a kid, the burden of being the illegitimate child, dark realities of Indian cinema, and her constant struggle to find love and identity.

For those eagles that’ve been waiting to spot the slightest trace of controversy around her infamous affair with the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, there’s more meat to the book than you had thought. But, the writer paints her picture in a way where at the most unprecedented instances you’ll empathize with Rekha, or even want to salute her, hug her for her spirit. It somehow looks like a PR piece to paint a beautiful portrait of the most evergreen woman in Indian cinema. Her failed marriages, rise to stardom, starlet status and boldness somehow overshadow the name Amitabh. You’ll realize, that there’s more to Rekha’s life than just Mr. Bachchan. In an attempt to balance the book with quotes and bytes from as many parties as possible, the writer gives you a perspective of every person in the love triangle, her well-wishers, and the people from the industry who were plain and simple envious of Rekha.

The preface and the end are as powerful as you can imagine, leaving you in a sea of emotions, whirlpool of thoughts where every person looks right if you put yourself in their shoes. From labelling her bisexual, to her alleged relationship with her secretary Farzana, Rekha emerges as a winner despite all odds.
