When Rekha Talked About Devoting 'All Her Attention' To Her Man: 'I'll Prepare His Lunch, Take Out His Clothes'

Veteran actress Rekha is the epitome of grace and has always been admired for her stunning performances. The actress is celebrating her 69th birthday on October 10 and no doubt she is still a heartthrob for millions of followers around the country. Rekha, who began her career as a child artist, has delivered a string of superhit films and established a name for herself. With her success, Rekha’s romantic life had constantly made headlines at the time. In an old interview, the actress spoke about finding the right person in her life.

Reportedly, she married businessman Mukesh Agarwal in 1990, but he committed suicide seven months later. However, the actress was always hopeful that she would find love again. A report by Hindustan Times quoted an excerpt from the actress’ 2006 interview where she said, “I’m not in denial. If I find someone who’s willing to share me with my fans, I might change my mind.” Rekha’s dream of sharing a home with her man was simple. She had shared, “If I had a man, I would just be devoting all my attention to that one person. I’ll take out his clothes, personally monitor his menu, prepare the lunch and personally deliver it to him.”

The actress never had children, and she stated that she does not miss them either. She explained, “Even if I find the ultimate man to have babies with, it would be very unfair to my priorities. Because if I have a baby, I won’t be able to focus on anything else.”

The report mentioned that Rekha had her first crush on her co-star Naveen Nishchal, who never reciprocated her feelings. Next, the portal mentioned that the actress was often linked to other actors such as Vinod Mehra, Kiron Kumar, Jeetendra, and most popularly, Amitabh Bachchan.

Rekha began her professional film career in the South Indian film business when she was discovered by Kuljeet Pal, who reportedly offered her a five-year contract. She rose to prominence with her role in Do Anjaane, in which she co-starred with Amitabh Bachchan. However, it wasn’t until the 1978 film Ghar that she established herself as a good actor. It was then that she began to deliver back-to-back hit pictures that were also critically lauded. Rekha went on to appear in films such as Umrao Jaan, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Khoobsurat, Silsila, Khoon Bhari Mang, and others. She also received several honours, including a National Award for her portrayal in Umrao Jaan.
