Rekha is an actress of versatile caliber. Rekha worked in through commercial movies and at the same time she has worked in women centric critical films. Till today in Bollywood, film producers rely on film Heros for a hit but during Rekha’s time many films were produced keeping Rekha in mind. Rekha had the capacity to make a film hit. There was a craze among the audiences for Rekha. Rekha is superb in romantic roles, specially with Amitabh Bachchan and at the same time Rekha is unparallel in film like Umrao Jaan. In Hindi film Khubsoorat (1980), Rekha played the role of a bubbly girl and in the next year Rekhs was found in a serious critical role in Umrao Jaan. Rekha portrayed Zohrabai – a towaif in Amitabh Bachchan starrer Muqaddar Ka Sikander is unforgettable.

Rekha has achieved fame, money, glory everything from this film industry but Rekha’s life is not fulfilled. Rekha never got love and affection in her life till today. During her childhood, she never felt the love of her father as her parents were separated. At an early age Rekha was literally forced to work in film industry. Rekha faced lot of troubles in those days - she was cheated, betrayed. Rekha wanted to settle down in life. Rekha wanted a married life but almighty decided something different for Rekha. Today Rekha is totally alone in this world.

Bollywood actress Rekha took oath as member of the Rajya Sabha

Veteran actress Rekha officially entered politics. Today Rekha she took oath in the Parliament as a member of the Rajya Sabha. Few days back Rekha and Indian cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar were approved by president of India for the Rajya Sabha. It is expected that Sachin will take the oath on tomorrow.

Today Rekha reached the Rajya Sabha clad in a golden-brown saree. Rekha always looks beautiful in saree. Today the 57 years old actress was looking simply gorgeous. Seat number 99 has been alloted to Rekha in the Rajya Sabha. On the first day in Rajya Sabha, Rekha attended about 19 minutes of the proceedings.

Jaya Bachchan keeping the distance from Rekha in Rajya Sabha

Jaya Bachchan is a Rajya Sabha member from SP ticket. Rekha, arch rival of Jaya Bachchan is a new entry in Rajya Sabha. So far seat number 91 was for Jaya Bachchan and Rekha has been alloted the seat number 99. The troubles is here as Rekha will be just behind Jaya Bachchan in the next row. In such a situation they cannot avoid eye to eye contact.

30 years has passed since the release of Hindi film Silsila where Rekha and Jaya both worked. After the release of Silsila their relationship reached the bottom rock. Silsila is the last film of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha so far, although Amitabh has recently expressed his desire to work with Rekha again. Jaya Bachchan is in no mood to reconcile with Rekha. Jaya Bachchan appealed to allot the seat number 143 to her and Rajya Sabha has granted her appeal. 

Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha again on the silver screen?

Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha may be seen again in film after 30 years. Recently Amitabh Bachchan has expressed that he is willing to work with Rekha in a suitable script. Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha are considered as one of the top most pairs of all time in Bollywood film industry. They have together in many superhit Hindi films. The chemistry of Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan on the screen was excellent.

 Amitabh and Rekha worked together for the last time till now in Yash Chopra’s Silsila. The romantic situations between Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan in the film are simply excellent.  There are so many gossips still in Bollywood regarding Amitabh and Rekha’s past relationship that everyone is eagerly waiting to see the famous romantic pair together.

Both Amitabh and Rekha are aged now. Amitabh is a fully contendent family man with wife, son, daughter, son in law, daughter in law and grand children. Amitabh has reached the peak of success in every aspect. On the other side Rekha is living a lonely life. Rekha wanted husband, family but failed in this part of life. For the last 30 years Rekha may have the willingness to work with Amitabh but no positive response came from the other side. It took 30 years to melt the ice. Let’s hope they will work at least in one film and we will hope to see them as aged lovers, may be the film will be continuation of Silsila. Hope Amitabh-Rekha romanticism at this age will set fire on the screen.
