This actress is none other than Rekha. Rekha is called the evergreen actress of Bollywood. Even today, Rekha rules the hearts of millions of fans with her strong acting and beauty. Rekha gave many blockbuster films in her career. Although Rekha’s professional life was as successful as it was, her personal life was equally bad. He has suffered a lot of pain in his real life.
Born on 10 October 1954 in Chennai, Rekha started working in films in her childhood. In the year 1969, Rekha entered Bollywood as a lead actress and within no time she became the top actress of Bollywood. Rekha was climbing the ladder of success in professional life but was flopping in personal life. Love entered Rekha’s life many times but even today she is living a lonely life.
Rekha’s affair with many co-stars was in the headlines. She also fell in love with Delhi based businessman Mukesh Aggarwal. On March 4, 1990, Rekha and Mukesh got married at Mukteshwar Devalaya Temple in Juhu. However, Rekha and Mukesh’s marriage soon turned sour. Meanwhile, Rekha also came to know that her husband Mukesh is a depression patient. Then after only 6 months of marriage, both of them decided to get divorce.
However, on October 2, 1990, when Rekha had gone to America for a stage show, Mukesh committed suicide by hanging himself with Rekha’s dupatta at his farmhouse. Mukesh had not held anyone responsible for his death in his suicide note but still Rekha was considered guilty of his death. Even the posters of Rekha’s film ‘Sheshnag’ released in those days were blackened. People started calling her her husband’s ‘murderer’. After facing so much humiliation, Rekha did not even attend Mukesh’s funeral.
Mentioning this in her biography ‘Rekha: The Untold Story’, Rekha has written that after her husband’s death, her in-laws started calling her a witch. Let us tell you that Mukesh Aggarwal’s mother had accused Rekha of murdering her son. He also said that ‘the witch ate my son.’
After this incident, many stars also turned against Rekha. Subhash Ghai had even called Rekha a stigma on the industry. In an interview, he had said, ‘Rekha has put such a stain on the face of the film industry that it cannot be washed off easily. I think after this any respectable family will think twice before accepting any actress as their daughter-in-law. This is going to be difficult for him professionally also. No good director will work with him again. How will the audience accept her as an Indian woman or a goddess of justice?
Rekha had to face a lot of taunts in her personal life, while late actress Nagaris Dutt also once lashed out at Rekha and even called the actress a witch in anger.
Actually, Rekha and Sanjay Dutt had worked together in the film ‘Zameen Aasman’. During this time, their closeness had increased and news of their affair had spread. When the news reached Nargis Dutt, she was furious.
In an interview given in the year 1976, Nargis had scolded Rekha fiercely. Nargis had said that, ‘Rekha is no less than a witch in the eyes of some people’. She had further said that, ‘Sometimes I feel that I can understand her… many people have psychological problems. Similarly, Rekha also remains lost, she needs a strong man..’
Rekha is living a lonely life today. Despite facing a lot of pain in real life, Rekha always has a smile on her face.
