Rekha (born
10 October 1954) is an
Indian actress from
Tamil Nadu, India who has appeared in Bollywood films.
Rekha has acted in over
180 films in a career that has spanned 40 years. She has reinvented herself numerous times in her career and is known for her ability to sustain her status.
Taking part in both Indian mainstream and art cinema, she has achieved commercial success, as well as critical praise for numerous of her performances throughout the years.
Her first performance-oriented role came in
1976 when she played an ambitious woman in
Do Anjaane, co-starring
Amitabh Bachchan. The film became a hit as well as a critical success, and she was widely noticed for her performance.
Her most significant turning
point, however, came in 1978, with her portrayal of a rape victim in the movie
Ghar. The film was considered her first notable milestone, and her performance was applauded by both critics and audiences. She received her first nomination for
Best Actress at the
Filmfare Awards. In that same year, she first attained fame with
Muqaddar Ka Sikander, in which she co-starred once again with Amitabh Bachchan. The movie was the biggest hit of that year, as well as one of the biggest hits of the decade, and Rekha was set as one of the most successful actresses of these times.The film opened to positive critical reception, and Rekha's performance as a courtesan earned her a
Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Filmfare.
Following her success with
Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Rekha went on to star opposite
Bachchan in a number of films, most of which were hits. She had not only a successful on-screen pair with him, but a real-life relationship, which was widely reported in the media, as well as sharply criticised, as he was a married man. This relationship was ended and concluded in
1981, when they starred in
Yash Chopra's drama
Silsila.The film was the most scandalous of their films together, as it was based on their real-life relationship; Rekha played Bachchan's love interest, while Bachchan's real-life wife,
Jaya Bhaduri, played his wife. This was their last film together, and they never have collaborated again.
In 1981, she starred in the
Urdu film
Umrao Jaan. Her portrayal of a sensitive courtesan has been considered one of her career best performances, and she received the
National Film Award for Best Actress for it. Overall, she played a courtesan with a heart of gold in several of her films; Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Umrao Jaan were followed by a number of films which had her playing similar roles.
Rekha took on other increasingly serious, even adventurous roles; she was among the early actresses to play lead roles in heroine-oriented films, delivering films such as
Khubsoorat,
Khoon Bhari Maang and
Mujhe Insaaf Chahiye. She won Filmfare trophies for her roles in Khubsoorat (
1980) and Khoon Bhari Maang (
1988). One critic wrote of her performance in Khoon Bhari Maang.
In recent years, she has appeared in relatively few movies, usually as a mother or a widow rather than a glamour queen. She was praised for several of her perofrmances. In
2001,
In
1990 she married Delhi-based businessman
Mukesh Aggarwal, who committed suicide in
1991. She was rumored to have been married to actor
Vinod Mehra in
1973, but in a
2004 television interview with
Simi Garewal she denied being married to him referring to him as a "well-wisher". Rekha currently lives alone with her secretary Farzana in her
Bandra home in
Mumbai.
