अभी रेखा ने राज्य सभा में आई भी नहीं की इतनी सारी विवादस्पद बातें पहले से ही होनी शुरू हो गयी हैं , जैसे जया उनके साथ बैठना नहीं चाहती , अब यह सच है या अफवाह नहीं पता , पर यह सच ज्यादा लगता है क्यूंकि ऐसा पहली बार नहीं हुआ है जब जया ने सार्वजनिक रूप से रेखा के साथ ऐसा व्यवहार किया है , जबकि रेखा हमेशा उनके साथ एक सभ्य महिला की तरह , बहुत अपनेपन के साथ पेश आती रही हैं, इस बात से साफ़ ज़ाहिर हो जाता है की 31 साल भी जया अपने मन से रेखा के प्रति जलन खत्म नहीं कर पायी हैं , और आज भी वो रेखा को लेकर असुरक्षित महसूस करती हैं , ज्यादा कुछ ना कहते हुए यही कहना चाहूंगी की इस तरह की हरकतें जया को शोभा नहीं देती ....
Dear Friends wish you all a very Happy Mother’s Day with lots of love and lots of Happiness. Make your Mother's Day bright.

A mothers like a ray of sunshine Whose heart is just pure gold. A mother beams with happiness that'll never grow old. She'll stay in my heart forever As if she were inside We've shared so many things, We laughed, we smiled, we cried. I love my mother very much and still throughout the years We share the mother daughter love, and always when I fear, I know I'll always have my mother somewhere very near!

So now Rekha is officially a RS MP. Just watched the video of her taking oath. Her voice is soooooo beautiful that even the oath was sounding a Nazm to me. :). She was also looking so elegant and graceful ..i have always liked her in less makeup. But indian media so cheapo..what's the point of cutting to Jaya B. face while she was taking oath. media kabhi nahin sudhar sakta. But my heart sank when i read that she sat there for just 20 mins. But i think it is okay as it was her first day.. Hope she will come regularly to RS and wishing her all the best again in her new role as MP.

Ashutosh Das said…
Hey look at the media , they are fighting to capture Rekha in their Camera and finally Magic starts when she came out from the Car and go directly to the Rajya Sabha for her Oath. Really Lovely Day of all Rekha fans and on this very special day I convey my heartiest wishes to Rekha ji ans very very specially to Rishabh n his team who is there to share our feeling and thoughts about our lovely lady REKHA.
We have waited for this moment Now, at last, it has come true
You have finally reached the summit And, I am quite proud of you
You are worthy of this triumph No one could deserve it more
My heartiest wishes to Rekhaji. God Bless you.... Keep Smiling. Love you sooooooo much.
V.A. said…
Dear Vaibhavi,
Just read ur post where u have written that Lataji said that 'Rekha ek sachchi insan hain'. Is it a recent statement of her? where did u watch it or read it? Can u pls provide a link or details where i can read or watch it too? :).
V.A. said…
I am really worried for Rekha now. The way indian media is portraying her entry to RS as Silsila 2. just sick. Media has already started dissecting her like she took first flight back to Mumbai, so is she really serious? Or on Ibnlive.com i watched a show where Kirron Kher said that she is surprised that people like Farooque sheikh and waheeda rehman getting ignored. She didn't say directly that Rekha deserved it or not but in a way she was saying so. What do u guys think? Then one person said that she was being nominated for sick reason to embarrass Jaya. I don't follow india politics regularly so i don't know much but you ppl who live in India might be in better position to answer that is Jaya B such an imp person in politics that ruling party feels threatened by her, so want to embarrass her? Idk, and really hope that this was not the reason behind her nomination. Today all this ho halla on Jaya getting angry over her face being shown in oath ceremony etc is also making me feel bad for Rekha, infact bad for both ladies. Why media is still stuck in past on a matter which happened 30 yrs ago? But on a brighter note : Bhawna Somaya , famous film journalist today tweeted that 'mark my words Rekha will surprise us all ..becoz she is a good student'. :) Amen to that. Fingers crossed. All my wishes and prayers for Rekha again.
Vikas Sachdeva said…

Dear Friends want to share some interesting comments about Rekha when she came to Rajyasabha…
Parliamentarians welcome Rekha
An excited Samajwadi Party chief, Mulayam Singh Yadav, corrected the Headlines Today correspondent asking him to call her "Rekhaji" instead of just "Rekha".
"There is a difference between seeing her on-screen and seeing her in person," the former Union minister said.
Asked if he would call Rekha to wish her on becoming an MP, Yadav said, "Please give me the phone number."
Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Ramvilas Paswan said, "She has come to the Rajya Sabha. It is obvious that I will meet her. She has loads of films to her credit, the most popular being Silsila."
Asked about his experience of seeing Rekha in Parliament, the former railway minister said, "She is more beautiful than what she appears on screen."
BJP MP Smriti Irani said, "I personally feel that if the government and Parliament give you an opportunity to represent the people then one should capitalise on the given opportunity and ask the government for answers. Now the question is, since the government has nominated you, would you have the courage to ask the government back."
Welcoming Rekha to Parliament, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawti said, "The more people that come from diverse fields, the better it is."

अरे यार actually आप सभी को जया जी की इस पीड़ा को समझना चाहिए , वो पिछले 31 सालों से भी ज्यादा रेखा नाम की इस समस्या से पीछा छुडाना चाहती है लेकिन बार -बार किस्मत उन्हें रेखा के सामने ला खड़ा कर देती है , आज वो भी जानती है की शादी के इतने सालों बाद भी वो अमिताभ के रेखा के साथ फिर से काम करने से डरती है, आज भी अमिताभ जया की वजह से रेखा से दूरियां बनाये रखते हैं फिर भी टीवी और मीडिया के गलियारों में रेखा और अमिताभ के ख़ास रिश्ते की सुगबुगाहट बनी रहती है , उन्होंने एक रास्ता बंद किया तो घर आई उनकी बहु ऐश्वर्या राय उनकी सबसे बड़ी दुश्मन की सबसे बड़ी fan निकली , उनकी होम production फिल्म पा से अपना पहला अवार्ड पाने वाली विध्या बालन ने उन्हें धोखा दिया वो भी रेखा की चाहने वाली निकली , विध्या ने रेखा की तारीफ़ में इतने कसीदे पढ़े पर उसने जया के लिए एक शब्द नहीं कहा , अब जया यहाँ राज्य सभा में चैन की सांस ले रही थी तो अब यहाँ भी रेखा आ पहुंची , ऐसे में जया का असुरक्षित होना जायज है ना, तो आप सभी को जया के इस दर्द को समझना चाहिए.....

arijit said…
dr rishabh n amit...
guys as you know i am a bengali,i have recently come across an article on rekhas rajyasabha nomination in the ananda bazar patrika,one of the most popular bengali dailies written by pritish nandy.....
it was a beautiful article where the writer spoke of her admiration for the diva,the way rekha's metamorphosis astonished him and marvelled at the way rekha became a popular among the masses and also a darling of the classes,the fact that rekha finally got her due in the form of a padmashree and a rajyasabha seat.
pritish worked with times of india for a long time, and he did a special coverage on indian women in a special illustrated weekly where rekha clad as vasantsena was the cover girl of that magazine....
he said that the first time he saw rekha in sawan bhadon he fell in love with her,he loved the way this sultry teenager gave way to a dignified diva and raved about her performances in utsav,umrao jaan,ijazzat,kalyug, vijeta and specially khubsoorat.....
he said that although he was in awe of rekha as an actress still he found that rekha as a person was very warm and her nicotine laced husky voice has got the prowess to literally create a ruckus.......
he joked with rekha about the fact that rekha got the padmashree 33 years after him and the fact that rekha will grace the rajyasabha 8 yeras after he has left the house...
he was perturbed and intrigued about rekha's personal life and the way the entire nation would talk about rekha s affair with vinod mehra,vina ramani's brother mr lalwani.kiran kumar and mr bachhan...
he blvd that by acting in umrao jaan in 1981 and in utsav in 1985 rekha proved that she was the best eye candy one can ask for....he loved rekhas performance in khoon bhari maang and although it was based on return to eden still rekha made it memorable.....rekha has mastered the art of playing the perfect other women or a courtesan and her role of a seductress found ultimate culmination in meera nayar's kamasutra....
he shared a wonderful anecdote about the diva and this i blv is something very special...he wrote...
I SPENT A LONG MORNING WITH LATE SHREE SATYAJIT ROY AND WAS WONDER STRUCK TO FIND THAT MR ROY WOULD START THE CONVERSATION ASKING,"SO WHATS'S UP?WHAT'S BREWING IN REKHA'S PERSONAL LIFE?ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT?".....THE CONVERSATION STARTED DISCUSSING SCANDALS AND WE TALKED AT LARGE ABOUT REKHA AND FINALLY MR ROY CONCLUDED BY SAYING THAT HE IS VERY FOND OF REKHA AS AN ACTRESS AND WANTED TO CAST HER IN ONE OF HIS FILMS BUT COULD NOT END UP FINDING A SUITABLE ROLE FOR HER...I WAS AMAZED TO FIND MR RAY'S ADMIRATION FOR HER AND CONSOLED MYSELF SAYING IF A PERSONALITY AS MAGNANIMOUS AS MR RAY FINDS REKHA INTERESTING AND PRAISES HER AS AN ACTRESS THEN ITS NO WRONG THAT AN INSIGNIFICANT MORTAL LIKE ME WILL FIND A PERENNIAL LOVE INTEREST IN REKHA...
guys althogh its a long article still this are some of excerpts from that article whcich i tried to share with u all .....i am not a student of literature but still tried translating parts of it for my friends.....

I am more shocked then surprised to find out that Legendary Satyajit Ray used to admire her.wow..i am so happy today. You said that u are sharing some excerpts.But can u share the whole article whenever u have time to translate it. I know , you will think that now i am acting greedy , but can't help i love Rekha soo much. :) . Anyway many thanks for sharing it here.

I just found out an interesting tidbit about Rekha and her house on filmfare.com . Thought of sharing it with my other fellow Rekha fans:
Few know that the elusive Rekha’s seaside bungalow is flanked by Honey Irani’s on one side and son Farhan Akhtar’s swanky, new one on the other. Honey often jokes with Rekha saying, “Tum hum maa bete ke beech mein aagayi ho!” Javed saab on the other hand jokingly tells his son, “Ab hamare beech Rekha aa gayi hai.” Obviously punning on the name of the actress. But the story is that as a 12-year-old, Farhan, like most of us, was smitten by Rekha. He’d often say, “I am going to a build a tunnel that leads straight to Rekha’s room!” To this Rekha now says, “Oh why did you build a house? You should have built a tunnel instead!” Last we heard, Farhan was tremendously flattered. Anyone would be, if Rekha told them that.
V.A. said…
Good news friends abut Rekha. She is going to be felicitated at IIFA awards next month. can't wait to see her pictures.
And guys what do u all think of this news that Muzaffar Ali is planning Umrao Jaan 2 and Rekha may do a cameo in it?? I sincerely hope it is not true. If Mr Ali wants to make a film, well and good but pls don't publicise it as UJ sequel and moreover i don't want Rekha to do any cameo in anything related to UJ. Because it will unnecessarily start all the comparisons. So just hoping this news is not true.

After the Interesting Article by Pritish nandy another Great new is that Rekha will honored by IIFA. For its complete news pls read the below short Article by PTI.....
"Bollywood diva Rekha, who has mesmerised audience for over three decades now, will be felicitated for her outstanding achievement in Indian cinema at the upcoming IIFA Awards 2012.
The 57-year-old actress, who began her journey with Sawan Bhadon in 1970, has come a long way with films like Do Anjaane, Umrao Jaan and Silsila adorning her glittering career spanning 30 years.
Each year, IIFA honours a member of the film fraternity who has made significant contributions to Indian cinema and this year Rekha will be recognised for her achievements.
"I am extremely humbled to be appreciated... It has been a long journey and hopefully my passion and love for cinema will continue to reach out to all my fans. I am especially happy to be honoured at a time when the industry celebrates a centenary of Indian films," said Rekha.
Stalwarts of Indian cinema like VK Murthy and Yash Johar, among others have previously been recipients of this award.
"Over the years, we have paid tribute to the biggest names in the Indian film industry, recognising their contribution towards cinema. In our 13th year, IIFA is proud to honour India's most loved actress Rekha for her immense work and contribution to the Indian film industry," said Andre Timmins, Director, Wizcraft International Entertainment.
The IIFA Weekend will be hosted in the Lion City of Singapore from the June 7-9.

thanx amit....it was a article written by pritish nandy in first person and he has written a lot about him, his personal life and his affairs.....i have omitted all that and tried to translate only those parts where he wrote about rekha....
there are still certain things from the article thats needs to be translated....will surely do that and post it tomorrow...

i am so glad to hear that rekha will attend the iifa awards but considering her reservation regarding lifetime achievment award i dont know what award they are going to bestow on her....
i really dont want rekha to play a cameo in mujafaar ali's sequel....coz for me rekha was, is and will always be the quintessetial umrao jaan.....so if its umrao jaan its got to be her and no one else.....and no cameos....
and one more thing,u didnt act greedy, and even if u think that was a greedy act...i thoroughly appreciate it....cox if rekha is the person in question even sky is not the limit....

Dear Friends….
It will be time for some special tributes at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards ceremony this year. Actress Priyanka Chopra will perform to evergreen Rekha's numbers,
Lets check what says Priyanka on it…
"This year I am doing an act which will be a tribute to Rekha. I love and adore Rekha-ji.

dr rishabh n amit....
here is the rest of the article by pritish nandy...
the article was named BHANUREKHA GANESHAN,M.P.JI
pritish wrote a lot about her admiration for the diva and said that the sultry saucy image of rekha in shawan bhadon was something that he forget and named her TNT or trinitrotulin.its a frangrant quartz glass that melts once it reaches 81 degree centrigrade....he thought even rekha's sensuality has reached its saturation point....and called the lovely rekha as TNT...
pritish was astonished by the transformation of rekha and said that even fair and lovely was not in vogue those days, then how come rekha managed to look so stunning fair is a question that haunts him....
rekha lost oodles of weight and has always acreddited her to her strict regime of yoga and pritish went on to appreciate that human effort as well....
pritish was so much in love with rekha nad infatutaed with her that he blames rekha for losing his control over his senses when it came to beautiful women....
pritish worked with illustrated weekly and times of india and filmfare for a long time, in that tenure time and again rekha featured as the cover girl and each and every time pritish adored the cover girl avatar and wondered how could she manage to look that ravishing every time....
it was on m.j. akbar's request that he became the guest editor for SUNDAY magazine and that had rekha as the cover girl as well...
pritish spoke very highly of rekha as an actress and found that with each and every film she was becoming better and better and successfully bridged the gap between art and commercial films....muzaffar ali, gulzar, hrishikesh mukherjee,shyam benegal and govimd nihalni were successful in tapping her potential as an actress and the crowning glory was definitely UMRAO JAAN....
it was in the late 80's and early 90's that rekhas life was replete with a lot of developments which included events like theft in her house by muniraj kanappa and the income tax raid....
it was in the late 90's that rekha started maintainning a distance with the media and this intensified her mystique and she gradually became a recluse.....pritish was very particular in respecting her privacy and never thought of invading it.....he silently saluted rekhs' decision of being a mysterious recluse.....
prirish concluded by saying that just like any other indian he respects all those women who plays roles of mothers in films.....so he respects rekha nad applauds rekha spadmashri win and her nomination in rajya sabha because after years of relentless contribution to indian cinema she rightly deserved them.....
the article also contained reactions from other two celebs....
SHOBHA DE-i whole heartedly support rekhas rajyasabha nomination because i believe she is much more beautiful than any member of the house of elders and more over she is a dignified lady with a harming personality....she does not have any criminal record and rightfully should hold a place in the house....however i am more interested to see her wardrobe and would keep an eye on the sarees that she would wear on her rajya sabha visit.....
GAUTAM GHOSE-there are a lot of people who gets nominated in the rajya sabha and people from all walks of life are free to go there , then why not rekha....the persons who have nominated rekha surely must have expected that rekha would do something good for them....and i hope she does....i didnot find rekha to be someone who is enigmatic, so i dont beleive that rekha's rajya sabha visit would reduce her mystique....
this is the rest of the article....i hope u guys will love it....

Thanks Arijit for sharing the whole article..i really appreciate it. Is Gautam Ghosh the same person who made 'Yatra'? As far as Shobha de is concerned, i personally don't like her at all. But good to see her saying something positive about Rekha. But ghoom phir ke baat Rekha ki wardrobe pe hi aa gayi :). But it really looked like Pritish Nandy was very much infatuated with our lovely Rekha :)
arijit said…
thanx v.a.....yes,gautam ghose is the same person who made yatra,one of the most celebrated filmmakers in bengal.....he has directed some hindi films as well like yatra,paar,dakhal,patang etc.....
even i dont like shobha de, god knows what makes her an authority to comment about all most everything on this earth.....infact it was she who said in the early years rekha's voice was similar to that of an illiterate washer woman.....but even she saluted rekha's transformation.....if i am not wrong i think her novel starry nights was loosely based on rekha's life, where the central character was named asha rani.....
neway nice sharing views with u my frnd....kp in touch....
arijit said…
dr rishabh n amit....
thank u for those lovely updates.....gud to see the headlines section.....
but i will still complain about the lack of old fotos of rekha.....this site is very special and dear to us.....but it has got a contemporary feel to it, each and every foto in each and every section are new and recent.....plz add some old fotos....
and specially the foto of the awards section.....i genuinely dont like that foto....specially that hair do....
neway thank u guys for everything and stay in touch.....

Dear Moderator pls share any updates from Singapore about IIFA Awards 2012.
Moni said…
Hello रिषभ , तुम्हारी वेबसाइट "रेखा डी डीवा" देखी , बहुत ही amazing है, मैं रोजाना इसे देखता हूँ , सच में तुमने बड़ी मेहनत से इसे बनाया है . I Wish तुम्हारी साईट रेखा की तरह बुलंदियों तक जाये और तुम रेखा से जल्दी और ज़रूर मिलो.....
Dear Friends take a look on Site's new look of Home page, n share your comments if any...
V.A. said…
Dear moderators,
I too agree with Arijit about lack of old pics of Rekha here. She was at the peak of her beauty in early 80s and i don't see much pics of her from that time.
Headline on home page states that Rekha will be felicitated in IIFA on 7th. But i think it should be 9th as award ceremony is on 9th i believe so. I am not sure though.
And one more request, same one i did months ago to integrate this site with a forum like feature so that discussion and conversation among us fellow rekha fans will be much easier and legible too. And it will give some more facility to people like us who are not in moderating team to share links, pics articles etc. easily too. (If u want,for reference you can check out www.ranbirkapoor.net. They have a website as well as forum.) Pls try to incorporate this. Thanks
arijit said…
thank u pooja for ur feedback......i hope u have read the 2nd part as well......take care....
Dear Arijit n VA thanks for ur comments, Dear I note down your suggestion, even working on it, very soon you find some interesting segments on your own website. so dear keep in touch.. Bye take care.
arijit said…
dr rishabh n amit.....
love the new look of the home page....love the colour combination.....plz do something about the pictures as well......
i know i am nagging a lot and irritating u ppl.....bt cant help....just want the rights things in right place if it concerns rekha......adaat se majboor....
neway take care both of u.....
Bhuwan said…
Friends only 1 day to go in IIFA Awards 2012..so be ready to enjoy again the magic of ......Madam MAYA.

PC is a good dancer n m sure she will justice with Rekha's dance numbers in IIfa function...
V.A. said…
Dear Moderators, Liking the home page look..i think u have increased the size & style of font of Headlines, which is looking good. Can't wait to see some more new changes on the site.
So IIFA weekend starts tomorrow. Don't know if Rekha will be there for whole 3 days or will be there just for award function on 9th. And if I am not wrong this is the first time that any big star will be performing on her songs as a tribute in an award function. Can't wait to watch that. :)

kahani rekha k sansad ban ne ki....
राजनीतिक हलकों में अभी तक यह बात पहेली बनी हुई है कि आखिर रेखा को राज्यसभा में लाने का आइडिया किसका था और उन्हें राजी किसने किया? कहानी रोचक है। दरअसल यह आइडिया भले ही दो नेताओं को सामान्य बातचीत के दौरान आया लेकिन रेखा को मनाने में काम आई रेणुका चौधरी और रेखा की बड़ी बहन डॉ. कमला सेल्वराज की दोस्ती।
समाजवादी पार्टी द्वारा जया बच्चन को दोबारा राज्यसभा सदस्य बनाए जाने पर दो महीने पहले कांग्रेस नेता अहमद पटेल और केंद्रीय राज्यमंत्री राजीव शुक्ला के बीच बातचीत चल रही थी। कांग्रेस से जुड़े सूत्रों के मुताबिक अचानक उन्हें आइडिया आया क्यों न कांग्रेस रेखा को राज्यसभा में ले आए।
अचानक आए इस विचार में उन्हें खुद ही मजबूती लगी। अब बारी थी सोनिया से पूछने की। पार्टी नेताओं को उम्मीद नहीं थी कि आमतौर पर इस तरह के निर्णय से दूर रहने वाली श्रीमती गांधी इस सुझाव पर कभी तैयार भी होंगी। मगर, राज्यसभा उम्मीदवारों के अन्य नामों पर चर्चा के दौरान उन्होंने रेखा के नाम पर एक ही बार में हामी भर दी।
रेखा से चर्चा करने की शुरुआती जिम्मेदारी भी पटेल और शुक्ला ने ही निभाई। लेकिन रेखा को मनाना आसान नहीं था। रेखा को समझाने से ज्यादा मुश्किल काम उनकी निजी सचिव और सलाहकार फरजाना को समझाना था, जो राजनीति से बिल्कुल परिचित नहीं थीं। पहले फरजाना और फिर रेखा को शुरुआती चर्चा के बाद इस पर राजी कर लिया गया कि वह इस बारे में विचार करेंगी।
सूत्रों के अनुसार, इसके आगे की जिम्मेदारी कांग्रेस की वरिष्ठ नेता रेणुका चौधरी को दी गई। कारण स्पष्ट था, चेन्नई में रहने वाली रेखा की बड़ी बहन डॉ. कमला सेल्वराज और रेणुका चौधरी में गहरी मित्रता है। चौधरी ने डॉ. कमला से बात की और रेखा से मिलीं। इसके बाद रेखा को संसदीय कार्यप्रणाली के बारे में समझाया। आखिर रेणुका चौधरी ने रेखा को इस बात के लिए राजी कर लिया कि वह नई दिल्ली जाकर कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष सोनिया गांधी से मिलें। इसके बाद रेखा और फरजाना नई दिल्ली में श्रीमती गांधी से मिलीं। लेकिन रेखा ने उनसे अंतिम फैसले के लिए एक हफ्ते का समय मांगा।
इस बीच रेणुका चौधरी लगातार रेखा के संपर्क में रहीं। एक हफ्ते की समय सीमा पूरी होने से पहले ही उन्होंने रेखा को राजी कर लिया। एक हफ्ते बाद स्वयं रेखा ने नई दिल्ली जाकर श्रीमती गांधी को अपने निर्णय से अवगत कराया। रेखा के नाम की घोषणा होते हुए विश्लेषकों ने इसे कांग्रेस की उस रणनीति का हिस्सा माना, जिसमें पार्टी को तमिलनाडु में जयललिता के विरोध में एक तमिल चेहरे की तलाश थी। लेकिन शपथ का राज्यसभा टीवी द्वारा किया गया कवरेज विवाद का कारण बन गया। जिसमें रेखा के साथ बार-बार जया बच्चन को दिखाया गया।

Just saw some pics from ceremony. Rekha wore a maroon Saree with gold border. Somehow i was expecting that she might ditch her love of golden color for once but sadly that didn't happen. same makeup, same hairstyle..but she was looking very nice overall. Shatrughan Sinha and Sonakshi presented her the trophy. I've read that Priyanka's performance was spectacular. Rekha too joined for a jig at the end.She also presented best actor award later. When is this going to telecast on TV? any idea?
V.A. said…
Dear Moderators,
I just found this newspaper clip which states that Rekha will get another lifetime achievement award at Rajiv gandhi awards. Do u know when it is happening? Link of paper clip is http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/13/44/57/79/scan0027.jpg
Also , if u remember i posted a link couple of weeks ago to vote for Rekha in a NDTV poll. Now results are out : Rekha is at 8th position out of 15. Hmm..bit sad but it is okay i guess. Ranking doesn't matter much to legends.
Megha said…
Rishabh............. IIFA is over, so plz plz update all pixs of it as soon as possible. plz dear
Dear VA thanks for sharing the link of that Newspaper bu dear pls confirm the date of that newspaper. I check it n confirm you.

Dear Amit,
I don't know date of that article. I tried to find out..it was published sometime last week.Don't know if it helps.
V.A. said…
Dear Moderators,
Did u find out the filmfare issue with article on Rekha "Fashion Diary"? It is in issue dated 20 june 2012. It has tons of pics of Rekha from each decade.Pls pls find it and share it. Thnx
arijit said…
dr rishbh n amit.....
rekha was as usual luking grt in her trademark style at the iifa awards.....bt i had expected something different this time, may be white....i dont know, but eagerly waiting to see rekha in a different avatar.....
i know she is 57....and saree suits her the best....may be some other colour,white,grey,silver.....something different....
but i must say one thing, she was luking a bit younger...and lovely in her minimal jewellery.....
she even danced with priyanka and later along with a.r.rehman presented the best actor award to ranbir kapoor for rockstar.....
after winning the award, she had gone for a media interaction, where she chose to do something diffrent....she posed with the trophy,kissed it....but did not interact with the media and maintained her mystique......thats rekha.....
hope she makes more and more public appearances and we get to see more of her very often.....
rekha should actually redesign her wardrobe and buy some new clothes for her.....she is constantly repeating her sarees,even the iifa saree is a old one.....and she must buy her some western outfit as well....she is wearing the same black dress and white scarf since time immemorial.....remember the school inaugration in rajasthan, the no on killed jessica premier, the screen awards rheasal with srk.....the same black tracks and white scarf.....
that was a little thought i wanted to share....neway thank u guys for iifa pics.hope u upload the airport pics soon.....,take care and lots of love....
arijit said…
dr v.a.....i agree with u....it is disappointing to find rekha at nmbr 8 where madhuri got the 1st position with more than 50% votes,shridevi followed her with more than 43% votes....neway rekha has stood strong against any test of time and will do so.......
i read ur feedback regarding rajiv gandhi awards....is it true dr?
V.A. said…
Dear Amit,
I actually was able to find out the date of that TOI article..it was 31st May.I just googled and it seems that this function got cancelled for some reason. Don't know when it will be held now. If you could find out some info it will be great. Thanks
Naman said…
Yahoo!!!!! Rekha rocks the iifa....
Zubin said…
Dear Rishabh THANKS 100 times thanks to you for sharing all lovely picx of iifa ceremony with us.
V.A. said…
Dear Arijit,
I don't know anything about Rajiv Gandhi awards. I came to know it when i accidently stumble upon that newspaper clip. Google is also not helping much. Only info i got was that this function was supposed to held on 2nd but got cancelled. But i have my reservations about that article too as Rekha is averse to the word 'Lifetime' for some reason. Has she really agreed to rcv that?
I totally agree with u that its high time that she should redesign her wardrobe or looks. I understand that Golden border sari, Jewellery has become her signature style but no harm in keep changing from time to time. It has really become very monotonous now. There are so many kinds of saris available in India..for once i want her to ditch her south silk or kanjivarams. I have seen her repeating her clothes soo often. Not just saris & jewelry but like if u remember her black velvet sari ,& as u pointed out that black coat , slacks outfit. Sometimes i feel does she have some financial issues?I wouldn't be surprised if she has that.
What i have noticed over couple of years that she has made a pattern of her appearances - if it is major awards show (except Stardust) then she wears heavy gold saris & Jewllry. If it is stardust then she does some experiments. If it is non-awards /low key appearance , then a cream or white, off white sari with minimal jewelry. I want her to change that. I am so waiting for her to give her fans a big pleasant surprise by doing some changes in her appearance. That is it for now. It is pleasure conversing with an ardent Rekha fan like u..Hope we will keep having our conversation on regular basis.

Dear Friends its moment of pride that our Rekha won another achievement, its time to celebrate her Success.
arijit said…
dr v.a
thanx for ur feedback.....toi is a regular in our house,i have seen the entire news paper regarding the article u wrote abt......bt cant find any.....dont know if it was included in the calcutta times edition,bcoz major bollywood news are only published in bombay times......and they only publish few selected articles in the newspapers of the rest of the cities which are full of news from the local or home industry......
neway, hope the awards take place soon and she receives her due.....rekha was also offered the iconic artist of the industry by the dada saheb phalke commitee in the yr 2011 bt she declined, bcoz she wanted to perform at the event....considering the infrastucture, they could not allow a star like rekha to perform and she declined the award....later she agreed to be at the event to present a lifetime achievment award to dharamji....hope she gets that award soon....
apart from this the pune film institute gives out a lifetime time achievment award each year to an achiever,shahshi kapoor,hema malini were the earlier recipients....hope they consider rekha soon.....
apart from this in calcutta the BFJA awards and the ANANDALOK awards give out lifetime achievment award each year.....dilip kumar,hema malini,rakhee gulzar all were given awards....hope rekha's turn comes soon....
i do respect rekha as an actress and never measured her star power or acting potential in terms of her award status.....but still would really love her to receive all the awards and allocades that she deserves and that too soon.....
even the national film awards committee apart from dada saheb phalke award gives out a lifetime achievment award.....hope rekha's name appears soon in that list soon.
i do agree that rekhas work will last a few lifetimes......but dat does not mean she should be averse to lifetime achievment awards....it is nothing but a token of appreciation from the fraternity and the audience to acknowledge her contribution.....no body is asking her to leave the industry or bid good bye to the world of entertainment......but accept the award and work more with a renewed vigour.....
infact mr rajesh khanna slammed rekha when she refused her lifetime achievment award at marathi film awards and it was renamed from jeevan kriti to jeevan gaurav awards to suit her demand.....he said "I hope the person who has refused the award is from south india who has got a very poor command over english language and does not appreciate the beauty of the award...."
hope she sheds off her reservations soon and start receiving awards......
i completely agree with you regarding revamping of her wardrobe.....would love her to surprise her as well......have not seen the latest edition of film fare that u wrote about.......neway its a long feedback.....wl get back to u soon....
V.A. said…
Hello Friends,
Just found this interesting piece about Rekha's felicitation in IIFA.
(Source : NDTV.com) "Shatrughan Sinha seemed to be on his own trip when he was invited to present Rekha the Lifetime Achievement Award. Instead of focusing on the recipient of the award, he kept talking about himself and his own upcoming film with Rekha. He even showed the trailer of the movie, while presenting the award. That's not all, he invited the director of the film and producer Poonam on the stage. Poor Rekha looked like she didn't know where to look, especially when Shatrughan Sinha addressed her as "the old, gold, bold and beautiful Rekha."
What do u guys think of it? I have always find Shatrughan Sinha , attention seeking person and he loves to speak. So i am not surprised by all this. Also , plugging your movies in award show in neither new nor a rarity. But showing trailer and calling Producer-director on stage at the time when u were being called on to present a lifetime achievement award to a veteran actress is a cheap shot, in my personal opinion.
What do you guys feel about this?
arijit said…
dr rishabh n amit.....
guys i have requested you time and again to plz change the awards section photo.....plz change it.....if u want i can send u some pics of rekha receiving awards or events where she received awards....
plz include the iifa outstanding achievment in indian cinema award in the awards section...that has not been updated.....
one more thing i have got some rekha's mumbai airport pics....if u want i can mail them too....
if u want any of these pics plz send me ur email id....there was a certain prob in my mail and all the previous mails have been deleted so i lost ur id.....
if u think i m nagging and disturbing u a lot get ready for more......coz when it comes to my frnds i know no limit......

dr v.a
i just cant stand shatrughan sinha....there was a time when there was utmost animosity between rekha and shatrughan sinha....but they patched up when rekha agreed to play the lead in aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hain and play the role of luv sinha's mother in sadiyaan.....
infact there was a time when he used to speak very highly about shridevi,rekhas contemporary and rival to downsize rekha....
rekha received her lifetime achievment award from filmfare way back in 2003 and gave a long speech.....after that in an awards ceremony most probably zee cine awards shatrughan said "i do talk much par lokpriya abhinetri rekhaji se kam"........
but its a different pic now, he would praise rekha time and again.....
a cheap publicity monger old haggard.....just hate him....
V.A. said…
Dear Arijit,
Nice post..yes i remember that incident abt Rajesh Khanna making fun of her. And in an interview Rishi Kapoor slammed her really very badly. He said something like 'She is an idiot. Why she doesn't understand that she is not getting younger anymore. They are honoring ur work. I remember she rcvd one lifetime award when i also recd one.' something like that.Don't remember the exact words. But it was harsh but sadly true. Sometimes Rekha really puzzled me a lot. If she really doesn't like lifetime award then why did she accept the Filmfare LTA award back in 2003. Then again, what was all the issue about giving a performance in Dada saheb awards? Sometimes i feel that she is really dying to act/perform and wants to show to people she still has it in her. i really feel that she should come in some social networking site so that we fans can send her messages and give our opinions, feedback on anything related to her. But she is so inaccessible :( . Nothing can be done to change her thinking. Having said that, i still love her so much and will keep doing so even with all her tantrums and her strange thought process. :)
parveen shindey said…

arijit said…

i do agree wid u on this note that inspite of everything we love her.....
a newspaper really slammed shatrughan sinha and said that mr sinha gave a really boring speech and that is one part of the show where u can really say khamosh or take a loo break....
vidya balan chose khubsoorat and preity zinta chose umraao jaan and dil hai tumhara as their favourite rekha films from the iifa green carpet.....
priyanka chopra came riding on a cycle and parked herself on rekha's lap and danced to the tunes of rafta rafta from kahani kismat ki along with rekha......and post nach gaana commented ...."this(rekha) is the only reason i wanted to be a man".....flattering nah?
tk care n stay in touch....
V.A. said…
Thanks Arijit for sharing tidbits abt IIFA green carpet. Yes, i also read people disliking Shatrughan Sinha speech. Some wrote at one time we thought as if he is the one who is getting LTA not Rekha. He was just speaking about himself and his accomplishments. And when he talked abt rekha he said she is OLD, gold, bold. Gawd. This man really needs help. I just hope TV channel(whenever this show is going to telecast, i think july 7) would air it without editing. But most probably, it is going to be edited.

Hiii Arijit m Vibha, a regular Viewer of this lovely website, dear I read your recent cooment in which you said about the pic of award segment. and i think you not like that Picture due to the Hair Style of Madam Re..

I hope you understand it and pls pls dont take it personally.

Dear Rishabh I read your answer regarding Rajyasabha matter for the same I would like to say that Rekha. Should not enter in politics .. She should remain as Rekha a beautiful puzzle , Dream and Rekha Rekha and Rekha ... She should maintain the glamors Rekha.... A Line who has her own identity....as Rekha
arijit said…
dr v.a
lets see what happens.....i just hope she attends the wedding or the reception....
she is such a beautiful and talented actress, i dont know why directors like sanjay leela bhansali,kunal kohli,karan johar,ashutosh gowarikar,anurag basu,rajkumar hirani,madhur bhandarkar did not cast her.....?
one of the primary reasons i guess is the exhorbitant price that she qoutes for each project.....dats the sole reason rana,rutba or the jhalak project has gone out of her hand......
just dying to see her at the theatres.....hope even u fl d same....
tk care n stay in touch.....

Dear Arijit, Thanks for your reply that you not take my comment personally. I just want to say that its not possible for moderator to do changes on the request of person to person, if they put something, then they choose it for a reason, If they find much better than it then definitely they do something...
Again thanks to you...
Regards Vibha

dr vibha.....
thanx for ur feedback.....i personally felt that rekha receiving the national award or the padmashree or a series of rekha photos winning awards would have been a better toast to the eyes than this current photo which is nothing but a photo from the professional photo shoots...
this photo lacks the expression of rekha as a winner,the excitement of emerging victorious or the humility of being acknowledged.......this is the sole reason i requested the moderators to change the photo......
although rishabh or amit has not come up with any comment that would speak of their discontent considering the feedback or the constant pestering i would appreciate had they come up with a clearer answer..........
i was given the impression that this site is as much mine as it is of the moderators.....so i blvd it was my discretion to come up with views which are personally mine....
however well knowing its a favourite of yours the request stands null and void ....
thank you....

Rekha looking soo beautiful in Iifa, soo crazy to enjoy its video..
Sonia said…
Dear Rishabh m highly inspired by her every time she says something very special in this IIFA she said...
"I dedicate this award to today's young actors like Priyanka, Parineeti, Sonakshi and Vidya. This is the beginning of an endless end. I wish could be half as graceful, half as spontaneous as Zohra Segal, achieve as much as her. I think I am half way there," said Rekha.
Really she is soo lovely.

Dear Arijit,
I am also dying to see her in a decent & well made movie with a good role where she is well presented, well styled too. Last time she was really well presented was Parineeta song. Yes , i feel sad to say that but after that i have not liked her appearances/styling. BRRB was dreadful, KKHZ was also nothing to write abt, Yatra could have been better, sadiyaan though a dated movie, has a good , important role for her but her styling was so not good. At least i don't find her long eye lashes, dark lips and carefully placed curls of hair in any scenes whether she is happy or sad, not very eye pleasing. Yes money could be one of the reason also that ppl are not approaching her or i read somewhere in filmfare sometime back that her towering personality intimidates directors too. By the way , u wrote she missed out on Rutba. Which movie was that? who offered her and what was the starcast? I think i somehow missed out on this news. I am just curious that how much she quotes these days. I remember reading Khalid mohammed article, he wanted to make a sequel of Zubeida with whole movie on Rajmata Mandira devi but Rekha quoted so much which was almost equal to the whole budget of movie. He shelved the movie. Or is it a way of her to say no to a project? God knows. But yes i want to see her on screen so badly that i can't describe. Now, with Sridevi & Madhuri both making comeback soon with small budgeted movies, so my eagerness has really increased to see Rekha too back on screen. Hoping for the best.

dr amit...
u are always welcome dr....hope u had a grt day.....
tk care buddy....
arijit said…
dr v.a
well dr u got it right rutba is the same movie that was supposed to be zubeida's sequel...
i just hope she is being offered good roles, and she accepts them even at the cost of lowering her price a bit...
i am just dying to see her in a well made movie with a substancial role...i dont know why on earth she accepted films like bachke rehna re baba,mujhe meri biwi se bachao,kudiyon ka hain zamana....they have helped her in earning a bad name....
hema malini's movie with eesha deol in the lead didnot take off,rekha was supposed to play the mothers role which would speak off mother daughter relation whose gap was finally bridged by music....even the kalpana lazmi movie based on the life of devdasis didnot materialize....the same thing happened with sanjay leela bhansali's bajirao mastani and the other project based on heermandi,which was supposed to be premised on the lives of hookers and prostitutes....shabana azmi,aisharya rai,madhuri dixit and rekha were supposed to play pivotal roles....but even that didnot took off....
i dont know why these happens with rekha films only.....each and every time that she is being selected for a movie i keep myself ready for a heartbreak well knowing its going to be shelved.....
i hope ours prayers are answered and she signs on the dotted lines of a good project....

V.A. said…
Dear Moderators,
Thank u thank u thank u :) i am loving the new segment. Though i am not sure if others also facing it..i am not able to see the magazine scans but newspaper scans are visible to me. But anyways, i am so happy today that people like me who dont'have easy access to all the magazines, can read articles on our beloved Rekha. I really appreciate all your hardwork you have put in here.
V.A. said…
Dear Arijit,
I agree . Don't know why this happens with her films only but i think we fans just keep track of her movies so we keep noticing it again and again. Long back Rajkumar Santoshi wanted to make Ramayana and Rekha was being considered for Kekayi role..I was so excited to hear that but again whole project didn't materialize. Last couple of years , i have read only role being offered to her was Rana. And oh yes in Luck by chance. Zoya wanted to take her in the role which Dimple did eventually. I know that was a small role but somehow i would have really loved to see her in that. Don't know , she refused it because of length of the role or again money issue.
I can't describe how desperate or eager i am to see her in a well made movie, where she has a good meaty role. Don't know when our wish will be fulfilled. Fingers crossed.
V.A. said…
Dear Moderators,
I think the problem of Magazine scans not showing up, is at ur end. I tried to see it on multiple computers & browsers but can't see any. Pls check & fix it. I can see newspaper scans perfectly though. Thanks.
Vipul said…
Rekha looks soo Stunning and Gorgeous in IIfa event.. Thanks for the same.
arijit said…
dr rishabh n amit.....
guys i have just seen the new segment...its a great addition....but i must say its a stupendous task that u have taken upon yourselves......so good to see the scans from different news papers and magazines.......grt job guys.....keep it up....
Chaya said…
Dear Rishabh, the new segment " News Room" have some error.. pls check it.

i just hope our wishes come true....in a way i am glad that rekha didnot take up dimple's role in luck by chance....u know why?there was this particular dialogue by rishi kapoor whre he referred to dimple as "crocodile in a shiffon saree"....
i know its a silly reason....but....hota hain.... i hope u undrstnd....
stay in touch.....

A word that means the world to me.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY WITH LOTS OF HAPPINESS.
A bit of peppermint
To clarify the passages
That carry what she meant
When she first set to bear a soul
Quite separate from her own,
Whom she would cherish, yet must teach to live and die alone.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY.
to thank you for
your immeasurable
contribution to my life.
Thank you Mom!
And wish you a
Very Happy Mother’s Day!
A mothers like a ray of sunshine
Whose heart is just pure gold.
A mother beams with happiness
that'll never grow old.
She'll stay in my heart forever
As if she were inside
We've shared so many things,
We laughed, we smiled, we cried.
I love my mother very much
and still throughout the years
We share the mother daughter love,
and always when I fear,
I know I'll always have my mother
somewhere very near!
no rose as lovely as her smile,
no path so flowery as that imprinted with her footsteps.
Wish you a very Happy Mothers Day..
On which I can depend. For only you
Touch the ancient wellsprings of my tears,
Home through all the wanderings of my years,
Eden that no other can renew,
Root I cannot rend through rage or art.
Wish you my all Friends...
HapPy MoThers DaY.

mubarak ho aj Rekha ji ne rajaya sabha main shapath li aur ab jabki wo rajniti main a chuki hai to Lata ji ne kaha ki wo ek sachhi insaan hai.main ishwar se prathna karti hu ki wo apni ussi sachai ke sath rajniti main bhi apni theek ussi tarah se pehchan banaye jaise unho iss bollywood ki bheed main banayi...
plz try n upload pics frm laxmikant pyarelal concert n rekhas rajyasabha visit....
बहुत ज्यादा गर्व और ख़ुशी का अनुभव हो रहा है... आप सभी को मेरी तरह से बहुत बहुत शुभकामनाये.............
many many Congratulation to all Rekha fans on this GREAT DAY.
We have waited for this moment
Now, at last, it has come true
You have finally reached the summit
And, I am quite proud of you
You are worthy of this triumph
No one could deserve it more
My heartiest wishes to Rekhaji. God Bless you....
Keep Smiling.
Love you sooooooo much.
Just read ur post where u have written that Lataji said that 'Rekha ek sachchi insan hain'. Is it a recent statement of her? where did u watch it or read it? Can u pls provide a link or details where i can read or watch it too? :).
Today all this ho halla on Jaya getting angry over her face being shown in oath ceremony etc is also making me feel bad for Rekha, infact bad for both ladies. Why media is still stuck in past on a matter which happened 30 yrs ago? But on a brighter note : Bhawna Somaya , famous film journalist today tweeted that 'mark my words Rekha will surprise us all ..becoz she is a good student'. :) Amen to that. Fingers crossed. All my wishes and prayers for Rekha again.
Just saw a poll on ndtv.com to vote for your favourite actress. So, if you have time PLS VOTE FOR REKHA. :) Link is http://www.ndtv.com/article/polls/vote-for-your-favourite-actress-212255
I like all photographs.
She looks like well mannered and disciplined politician.

Sayed Fida Hussain Shah

Cherish your memories,
but look forward...
Treasure ur friendships
but reach outward...
Learn from the past
but move onward...
Live each day with hope
and climb upward...
Congrats to Rekha ji and her all loved ones specialty Rishabh.
कोमल है कमज़ोर नहीं तू , शक्ति का नाम ही नारी है ....!
Today becomes a special day
When you r truly on your way
To gather all the knowledge gained
Each moment spent so wisely framed
We wish you luck in all you do
With all that's good & right for you
To seize the day with all it's power
Accomplishments of all the hours
Each day a new road that you see
To bring you knowledge constantly
Know that you have done your best
Proud that you have reached your quest
So on this day of perfect light
We see the glow so very bright
& there's a world for you to see
A place that holds you sacredly
In a recent or coming issue of Filmfare, there is an article on Rekha about her metamorphosis into a Diva. Is it possible for you to grab that magazine and post the scans of it here? Thanks
Really I've been waiting to see these lovely pictures. Rekha looks damm beautifuuul, sooooo special , so perfect in Rajyasavha snaps....
thanks dear,
I always knew you would.
There's a star in the making.
Look out world!
Whether on a mountain top
or in a valley low, you'll always
make it through the storm
& find a rainbow.
Parliamentarians welcome Rekha
An excited Samajwadi Party chief, Mulayam Singh Yadav, corrected the Headlines Today correspondent asking him to call her "Rekhaji" instead of just "Rekha".
"There is a difference between seeing her on-screen and seeing her in person," the former Union minister said.
Asked if he would call Rekha to wish her on becoming an MP, Yadav said, "Please give me the phone number."
Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Ramvilas Paswan said, "She has come to the Rajya Sabha. It is obvious that I will meet her. She has loads of films to her credit, the most popular being Silsila."
Asked about his experience of seeing Rekha in Parliament, the former railway minister said, "She is more beautiful than what she appears on screen."
BJP MP Smriti Irani said, "I personally feel that if the government and Parliament give you an opportunity to represent the people then one should capitalise on the given opportunity and ask the government for answers. Now the question is, since the government has nominated you, would you have the courage to ask the government back."
Welcoming Rekha to Parliament, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawti said, "The more people that come from diverse fields, the better it is."

, आज वो भी जानती है की शादी के इतने सालों बाद भी वो अमिताभ के रेखा के साथ फिर से काम करने से डरती है, आज भी अमिताभ जया की वजह से रेखा से दूरियां बनाये रखते हैं फिर भी टीवी और मीडिया के गलियारों में रेखा और अमिताभ के ख़ास रिश्ते की सुगबुगाहट बनी रहती है , उन्होंने एक रास्ता बंद किया तो घर आई उनकी बहु ऐश्वर्या राय उनकी सबसे बड़ी दुश्मन की सबसे बड़ी fan निकली , उनकी होम production फिल्म पा से अपना पहला अवार्ड पाने वाली विध्या बालन ने उन्हें धोखा दिया वो भी रेखा की चाहने वाली निकली , विध्या ने रेखा की तारीफ़ में इतने कसीदे पढ़े पर उसने जया के लिए एक शब्द नहीं कहा , अब जया यहाँ राज्य सभा में चैन की सांस ले रही थी तो अब यहाँ भी रेखा आ पहुंची , ऐसे में जया का असुरक्षित होना जायज है ना, तो आप सभी को जया के इस दर्द को समझना चाहिए.....
Recently i found out that couple of days back, an article on Rekha written by noted journalist/media personality Pritish Nandy, was published in Leading Bengali newspaper Anand Bazar Patrika. Is it possible for u to find out that one and translate in hindi or english here? I have read praise about that on twitter :), so really want to read it. Thanks.
Congratulation to all Rekha fans.

The link http://www.anandabazar.com/26nibon.html doesn't appear to work now. :( .
guys as you know i am a bengali,i have recently come across an article on rekhas rajyasabha nomination in the ananda bazar patrika,one of the most popular bengali dailies written by pritish nandy.....
it was a beautiful article where the writer spoke of her admiration for the diva,the way rekha's metamorphosis astonished him and marvelled at the way rekha became a popular among the masses and also a darling of the classes,the fact that rekha finally got her due in the form of a padmashree and a rajyasabha seat.
pritish worked with times of india for a long time, and he did a special coverage on indian women in a special illustrated weekly where rekha clad as vasantsena was the cover girl of that magazine....
he said that the first time he saw rekha in sawan bhadon he fell in love with her,he loved the way this sultry teenager gave way to a dignified diva and raved about her performances in utsav,umrao jaan,ijazzat,kalyug, vijeta and specially khubsoorat.....
he said that although he was in awe of rekha as an actress still he found that rekha as a person was very warm and her nicotine laced husky voice has got the prowess to literally create a ruckus.......
he joked with rekha about the fact that rekha got the padmashree 33 years after him and the fact that rekha will grace the rajyasabha 8 yeras after he has left the house...
he was perturbed and intrigued about rekha's personal life and the way the entire nation would talk about rekha s affair with vinod mehra,vina ramani's brother mr lalwani.kiran kumar and mr bachhan...
he blvd that by acting in umrao jaan in 1981 and in utsav in 1985 rekha proved that she was the best eye candy one can ask for....he loved rekhas performance in khoon bhari maang and although it was based on return to eden still rekha made it memorable.....rekha has mastered the art of playing the perfect other women or a courtesan and her role of a seductress found ultimate culmination in meera nayar's kamasutra....
he shared a wonderful anecdote about the diva and this i blv is something very special...he wrote...
I SPENT A LONG MORNING WITH LATE SHREE SATYAJIT ROY AND WAS WONDER STRUCK TO FIND THAT MR ROY WOULD START THE CONVERSATION ASKING,"SO WHATS'S UP?WHAT'S BREWING IN REKHA'S PERSONAL LIFE?ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT?".....THE CONVERSATION STARTED DISCUSSING SCANDALS AND WE TALKED AT LARGE ABOUT REKHA AND FINALLY MR ROY CONCLUDED BY SAYING THAT HE IS VERY FOND OF REKHA AS AN ACTRESS AND WANTED TO CAST HER IN ONE OF HIS FILMS BUT COULD NOT END UP FINDING A SUITABLE ROLE FOR HER...I WAS AMAZED TO FIND MR RAY'S ADMIRATION FOR HER AND CONSOLED MYSELF SAYING IF A PERSONALITY AS MAGNANIMOUS AS MR RAY FINDS REKHA INTERESTING AND PRAISES HER AS AN ACTRESS THEN ITS NO WRONG THAT AN INSIGNIFICANT MORTAL LIKE ME WILL FIND A PERENNIAL LOVE INTEREST IN REKHA...
guys althogh its a long article still this are some of excerpts from that article whcich i tried to share with u all .....i am not a student of literature but still tried translating parts of it for my friends.....
arijit
till then bye take care.
Few know that the elusive Rekha’s seaside bungalow is flanked by Honey Irani’s on one side and son Farhan Akhtar’s swanky, new one on the other. Honey often jokes with Rekha saying, “Tum hum maa bete ke beech mein aagayi ho!” Javed saab on the other hand jokingly tells his son, “Ab hamare beech Rekha aa gayi hai.” Obviously punning on the name of the actress. But the story is that as a 12-year-old, Farhan, like most of us, was smitten by Rekha. He’d often say, “I am going to a build a tunnel that leads straight to Rekha’s room!” To this Rekha now says, “Oh why did you build a house? You should have built a tunnel instead!” Last we heard, Farhan was tremendously flattered. Anyone would be, if Rekha told them that.
And guys what do u all think of this news that Muzaffar Ali is planning Umrao Jaan 2 and Rekha may do a cameo in it?? I sincerely hope it is not true. If Mr Ali wants to make a film, well and good but pls don't publicise it as UJ sequel and moreover i don't want Rekha to do any cameo in anything related to UJ. Because it will unnecessarily start all the comparisons. So just hoping this news is not true.
Rekha to receive outstanding achievement award at IIFA.
Just wait till 6th June....
"Bollywood diva Rekha, who has mesmerised audience for over three decades now, will be felicitated for her outstanding achievement in Indian cinema at the upcoming IIFA Awards 2012.
The 57-year-old actress, who began her journey with Sawan Bhadon in 1970, has come a long way with films like Do Anjaane, Umrao Jaan and Silsila adorning her glittering career spanning 30 years.
Each year, IIFA honours a member of the film fraternity who has made significant contributions to Indian cinema and this year Rekha will be recognised for her achievements.
"I am extremely humbled to be appreciated... It has been a long journey and hopefully my passion and love for cinema will continue to reach out to all my fans. I am especially happy to be honoured at a time when the industry celebrates a centenary of Indian films," said Rekha.
Stalwarts of Indian cinema like VK Murthy and Yash Johar, among others have previously been recipients of this award.
"Over the years, we have paid tribute to the biggest names in the Indian film industry, recognising their contribution towards cinema. In our 13th year, IIFA is proud to honour India's most loved actress Rekha for her immense work and contribution to the Indian film industry," said Andre Timmins, Director, Wizcraft International Entertainment.
The IIFA Weekend will be hosted in the Lion City of Singapore from the June 7-9.
there are still certain things from the article thats needs to be translated....will surely do that and post it tomorrow...
the article contained only one big photo of rekha from the laxmikant pyarelal concert.....
i dont have a scanner...and the article was printed in parts over 2 pages in a little disorganised way.....so it won't be easy to scan it.....
arijit
thank for ur feedback.....wl surely translate the rest and send it soon.....
i am so glad to hear that rekha will attend the iifa awards but considering her reservation regarding lifetime achievment award i dont know what award they are going to bestow on her....
i really dont want rekha to play a cameo in mujafaar ali's sequel....coz for me rekha was, is and will always be the quintessetial umrao jaan.....so if its umrao jaan its got to be her and no one else.....and no cameos....
and one more thing,u didnt act greedy, and even if u think that was a greedy act...i thoroughly appreciate it....cox if rekha is the person in question even sky is not the limit....
arijit
It will be time for some special tributes at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards ceremony this year. Actress Priyanka Chopra will perform to evergreen Rekha's numbers,
Lets check what says Priyanka on it…
"This year I am doing an act which will be a tribute to Rekha. I love and adore Rekha-ji.
here is the rest of the article by pritish nandy...
the article was named BHANUREKHA GANESHAN,M.P.JI
pritish wrote a lot about her admiration for the diva and said that the sultry saucy image of rekha in shawan bhadon was something that he forget and named her TNT or trinitrotulin.its a frangrant quartz glass that melts once it reaches 81 degree centrigrade....he thought even rekha's sensuality has reached its saturation point....and called the lovely rekha as TNT...
pritish was astonished by the transformation of rekha and said that even fair and lovely was not in vogue those days, then how come rekha managed to look so stunning fair is a question that haunts him....
rekha lost oodles of weight and has always acreddited her to her strict regime of yoga and pritish went on to appreciate that human effort as well....
pritish was so much in love with rekha nad infatutaed with her that he blames rekha for losing his control over his senses when it came to beautiful women....
pritish worked with illustrated weekly and times of india and filmfare for a long time, in that tenure time and again rekha featured as the cover girl and each and every time pritish adored the cover girl avatar and wondered how could she manage to look that ravishing every time....
it was on m.j. akbar's request that he became the guest editor for SUNDAY magazine and that had rekha as the cover girl as well...
pritish spoke very highly of rekha as an actress and found that with each and every film she was becoming better and better and successfully bridged the gap between art and commercial films....muzaffar ali, gulzar, hrishikesh mukherjee,shyam benegal and govimd nihalni were successful in tapping her potential as an actress and the crowning glory was definitely UMRAO JAAN....
it was in the late 80's and early 90's that rekhas life was replete with a lot of developments which included events like theft in her house by muniraj kanappa and the income tax raid....
it was in the late 90's that rekha started maintainning a distance with the media and this intensified her mystique and she gradually became a recluse.....pritish was very particular in respecting her privacy and never thought of invading it.....he silently saluted rekhs' decision of being a mysterious recluse.....
prirish concluded by saying that just like any other indian he respects all those women who plays roles of mothers in films.....so he respects rekha nad applauds rekha spadmashri win and her nomination in rajya sabha because after years of relentless contribution to indian cinema she rightly deserved them.....
the article also contained reactions from other two celebs....
SHOBHA DE-i whole heartedly support rekhas rajyasabha nomination because i believe she is much more beautiful than any member of the house of elders and more over she is a dignified lady with a harming personality....she does not have any criminal record and rightfully should hold a place in the house....however i am more interested to see her wardrobe and would keep an eye on the sarees that she would wear on her rajya sabha visit.....
GAUTAM GHOSE-there are a lot of people who gets nominated in the rajya sabha and people from all walks of life are free to go there , then why not rekha....the persons who have nominated rekha surely must have expected that rekha would do something good for them....and i hope she does....i didnot find rekha to be someone who is enigmatic, so i dont beleive that rekha's rajya sabha visit would reduce her mystique....
this is the rest of the article....i hope u guys will love it....
arijit
even i dont like shobha de, god knows what makes her an authority to comment about all most everything on this earth.....infact it was she who said in the early years rekha's voice was similar to that of an illiterate washer woman.....but even she saluted rekha's transformation.....if i am not wrong i think her novel starry nights was loosely based on rekha's life, where the central character was named asha rani.....
neway nice sharing views with u my frnd....kp in touch....
thank u for those lovely updates.....gud to see the headlines section.....
but i will still complain about the lack of old fotos of rekha.....this site is very special and dear to us.....but it has got a contemporary feel to it, each and every foto in each and every section are new and recent.....plz add some old fotos....
and specially the foto of the awards section.....i genuinely dont like that foto....specially that hair do....
neway thank u guys for everything and stay in touch.....
I too agree with Arijit about lack of old pics of Rekha here. She was at the peak of her beauty in early 80s and i don't see much pics of her from that time.
Headline on home page states that Rekha will be felicitated in IIFA on 7th. But i think it should be 9th as award ceremony is on 9th i believe so. I am not sure though.
And one more request, same one i did months ago to integrate this site with a forum like feature so that discussion and conversation among us fellow rekha fans will be much easier and legible too. And it will give some more facility to people like us who are not in moderating team to share links, pics articles etc. easily too. (If u want,for reference you can check out www.ranbirkapoor.net. They have a website as well as forum.) Pls try to incorporate this. Thanks
so dear keep in touch..
Bye take care.
love the new look of the home page....love the colour combination.....plz do something about the pictures as well......
i know i am nagging a lot and irritating u ppl.....bt cant help....just want the rights things in right place if it concerns rekha......adaat se majboor....
neway take care both of u.....
So IIFA weekend starts tomorrow. Don't know if Rekha will be there for whole 3 days or will be there just for award function on 9th. And if I am not wrong this is the first time that any big star will be performing on her songs as a tribute in an award function. Can't wait to watch that. :)
राजनीतिक हलकों में अभी तक यह बात पहेली बनी हुई है कि आखिर रेखा को राज्यसभा में लाने का आइडिया किसका था और उन्हें राजी किसने किया? कहानी रोचक है। दरअसल यह आइडिया भले ही दो नेताओं को सामान्य बातचीत के दौरान आया लेकिन रेखा को मनाने में काम आई रेणुका चौधरी और रेखा की बड़ी बहन डॉ. कमला सेल्वराज की दोस्ती।
समाजवादी पार्टी द्वारा जया बच्चन को दोबारा राज्यसभा सदस्य बनाए जाने पर दो महीने पहले कांग्रेस नेता अहमद पटेल और केंद्रीय राज्यमंत्री राजीव शुक्ला के बीच बातचीत चल रही थी। कांग्रेस से जुड़े सूत्रों के मुताबिक अचानक उन्हें आइडिया आया क्यों न कांग्रेस रेखा को राज्यसभा में ले आए।
अचानक आए इस विचार में उन्हें खुद ही मजबूती लगी। अब बारी थी सोनिया से पूछने की। पार्टी नेताओं को उम्मीद नहीं थी कि आमतौर पर इस तरह के निर्णय से दूर रहने वाली श्रीमती गांधी इस सुझाव पर कभी तैयार भी होंगी। मगर, राज्यसभा उम्मीदवारों के अन्य नामों पर चर्चा के दौरान उन्होंने रेखा के नाम पर एक ही बार में हामी भर दी।
रेखा से चर्चा करने की शुरुआती जिम्मेदारी भी पटेल और शुक्ला ने ही निभाई। लेकिन रेखा को मनाना आसान नहीं था। रेखा को समझाने से ज्यादा मुश्किल काम उनकी निजी सचिव और सलाहकार फरजाना को समझाना था, जो राजनीति से बिल्कुल परिचित नहीं थीं। पहले फरजाना और फिर रेखा को शुरुआती चर्चा के बाद इस पर राजी कर लिया गया कि वह इस बारे में विचार करेंगी।
सूत्रों के अनुसार, इसके आगे की जिम्मेदारी कांग्रेस की वरिष्ठ नेता रेणुका चौधरी को दी गई। कारण स्पष्ट था, चेन्नई में रहने वाली रेखा की बड़ी बहन डॉ. कमला सेल्वराज और रेणुका चौधरी में गहरी मित्रता है। चौधरी ने डॉ. कमला से बात की और रेखा से मिलीं। इसके बाद रेखा को संसदीय कार्यप्रणाली के बारे में समझाया। आखिर रेणुका चौधरी ने रेखा को इस बात के लिए राजी कर लिया कि वह नई दिल्ली जाकर कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष सोनिया गांधी से मिलें। इसके बाद रेखा और फरजाना नई दिल्ली में श्रीमती गांधी से मिलीं। लेकिन रेखा ने उनसे अंतिम फैसले के लिए एक हफ्ते का समय मांगा।
इस बीच रेणुका चौधरी लगातार रेखा के संपर्क में रहीं। एक हफ्ते की समय सीमा पूरी होने से पहले ही उन्होंने रेखा को राजी कर लिया। एक हफ्ते बाद स्वयं रेखा ने नई दिल्ली जाकर श्रीमती गांधी को अपने निर्णय से अवगत कराया। रेखा के नाम की घोषणा होते हुए विश्लेषकों ने इसे कांग्रेस की उस रणनीति का हिस्सा माना, जिसमें पार्टी को तमिलनाडु में जयललिता के विरोध में एक तमिल चेहरे की तलाश थी। लेकिन शपथ का राज्यसभा टीवी द्वारा किया गया कवरेज विवाद का कारण बन गया। जिसमें रेखा के साथ बार-बार जया बच्चन को दिखाया गया।

I just found this newspaper clip which states that Rekha will get another lifetime achievement award at Rajiv gandhi awards. Do u know when it is happening? Link of paper clip is http://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/13/44/57/79/scan0027.jpg
Also , if u remember i posted a link couple of weeks ago to vote for Rekha in a NDTV poll. Now results are out : Rekha is at 8th position out of 15. Hmm..bit sad but it is okay i guess. Ranking doesn't matter much to legends.
I don't know date of that article. I tried to find out..it was published sometime last week.Don't know if it helps.
Did u find out the filmfare issue with article on Rekha "Fashion Diary"? It is in issue dated 20 june 2012. It has tons of pics of Rekha from each decade.Pls pls find it and share it. Thnx
rekha was as usual luking grt in her trademark style at the iifa awards.....bt i had expected something different this time, may be white....i dont know, but eagerly waiting to see rekha in a different avatar.....
i know she is 57....and saree suits her the best....may be some other colour,white,grey,silver.....something different....
but i must say one thing, she was luking a bit younger...and lovely in her minimal jewellery.....
she even danced with priyanka and later along with a.r.rehman presented the best actor award to ranbir kapoor for rockstar.....
after winning the award, she had gone for a media interaction, where she chose to do something diffrent....she posed with the trophy,kissed it....but did not interact with the media and maintained her mystique......thats rekha.....
hope she makes more and more public appearances and we get to see more of her very often.....
rekha should actually redesign her wardrobe and buy some new clothes for her.....she is constantly repeating her sarees,even the iifa saree is a old one.....and she must buy her some western outfit as well....she is wearing the same black dress and white scarf since time immemorial.....remember the school inaugration in rajasthan, the no on killed jessica premier, the screen awards rheasal with srk.....the same black tracks and white scarf.....
that was a little thought i wanted to share....neway thank u guys for iifa pics.hope u upload the airport pics soon.....,take care and lots of love....
i read ur feedback regarding rajiv gandhi awards....is it true dr?
I actually was able to find out the date of that TOI article..it was 31st May.I just googled and it seems that this function got cancelled for some reason. Don't know when it will be held now. If you could find out some info it will be great. Thanks
Rekha rocks the iifa....
I don't know anything about Rajiv Gandhi awards. I came to know it when i accidently stumble upon that newspaper clip. Google is also not helping much. Only info i got was that this function was supposed to held on 2nd but got cancelled. But i have my reservations about that article too as Rekha is averse to the word 'Lifetime' for some reason. Has she really agreed to rcv that?
I totally agree with u that its high time that she should redesign her wardrobe or looks. I understand that Golden border sari, Jewellery has become her signature style but no harm in keep changing from time to time. It has really become very monotonous now. There are so many kinds of saris available in India..for once i want her to ditch her south silk or kanjivarams. I have seen her repeating her clothes soo often. Not just saris & jewelry but like if u remember her black velvet sari ,& as u pointed out that black coat , slacks outfit. Sometimes i feel does she have some financial issues?I wouldn't be surprised if she has that.
What i have noticed over couple of years that she has made a pattern of her appearances - if it is major awards show (except Stardust) then she wears heavy gold saris & Jewllry. If it is stardust then she does some experiments. If it is non-awards /low key appearance , then a cream or white, off white sari with minimal jewelry. I want her to change that. I am so waiting for her to give her fans a big pleasant surprise by doing some changes in her appearance. That is it for now. It is pleasure conversing with an ardent Rekha fan like u..Hope we will keep having our conversation on regular basis.
thanx for ur feedback.....toi is a regular in our house,i have seen the entire news paper regarding the article u wrote abt......bt cant find any.....dont know if it was included in the calcutta times edition,bcoz major bollywood news are only published in bombay times......and they only publish few selected articles in the newspapers of the rest of the cities which are full of news from the local or home industry......
neway, hope the awards take place soon and she receives her due.....rekha was also offered the iconic artist of the industry by the dada saheb phalke commitee in the yr 2011 bt she declined, bcoz she wanted to perform at the event....considering the infrastucture, they could not allow a star like rekha to perform and she declined the award....later she agreed to be at the event to present a lifetime achievment award to dharamji....hope she gets that award soon....
apart from this the pune film institute gives out a lifetime time achievment award each year to an achiever,shahshi kapoor,hema malini were the earlier recipients....hope they consider rekha soon.....
apart from this in calcutta the BFJA awards and the ANANDALOK awards give out lifetime achievment award each year.....dilip kumar,hema malini,rakhee gulzar all were given awards....hope rekha's turn comes soon....
i do respect rekha as an actress and never measured her star power or acting potential in terms of her award status.....but still would really love her to receive all the awards and allocades that she deserves and that too soon.....
even the national film awards committee apart from dada saheb phalke award gives out a lifetime achievment award.....hope rekha's name appears soon in that list soon.
i do agree that rekhas work will last a few lifetimes......but dat does not mean she should be averse to lifetime achievment awards....it is nothing but a token of appreciation from the fraternity and the audience to acknowledge her contribution.....no body is asking her to leave the industry or bid good bye to the world of entertainment......but accept the award and work more with a renewed vigour.....
infact mr rajesh khanna slammed rekha when she refused her lifetime achievment award at marathi film awards and it was renamed from jeevan kriti to jeevan gaurav awards to suit her demand.....he said "I hope the person who has refused the award is from south india who has got a very poor command over english language and does not appreciate the beauty of the award...."
hope she sheds off her reservations soon and start receiving awards......
i completely agree with you regarding revamping of her wardrobe.....would love her to surprise her as well......have not seen the latest edition of film fare that u wrote about.......neway its a long feedback.....wl get back to u soon....
Just found this interesting piece about Rekha's felicitation in IIFA.
(Source : NDTV.com)
"Shatrughan Sinha seemed to be on his own trip when he was invited to present Rekha the Lifetime Achievement Award. Instead of focusing on the recipient of the award, he kept talking about himself and his own upcoming film with Rekha. He even showed the trailer of the movie, while presenting the award. That's not all, he invited the director of the film and producer Poonam on the stage. Poor Rekha looked like she didn't know where to look, especially when Shatrughan Sinha addressed her as "the old, gold, bold and beautiful Rekha."
What do u guys think of it? I have always find Shatrughan Sinha , attention seeking person and he loves to speak. So i am not surprised by all this. Also , plugging your movies in award show in neither new nor a rarity. But showing trailer and calling Producer-director on stage at the time when u were being called on to present a lifetime achievement award to a veteran actress is a cheap shot, in my personal opinion.
What do you guys feel about this?
guys i have requested you time and again to plz change the awards section photo.....plz change it.....if u want i can send u some pics of rekha receiving awards or events where she received awards....
plz include the iifa outstanding achievment in indian cinema award in the awards section...that has not been updated.....
one more thing i have got some rekha's mumbai airport pics....if u want i can mail them too....
if u want any of these pics plz send me ur email id....there was a certain prob in my mail and all the previous mails have been deleted so i lost ur id.....
if u think i m nagging and disturbing u a lot get ready for more......coz when it comes to my frnds i know no limit......
i just cant stand shatrughan sinha....there was a time when there was utmost animosity between rekha and shatrughan sinha....but they patched up when rekha agreed to play the lead in aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hain and play the role of luv sinha's mother in sadiyaan.....
infact there was a time when he used to speak very highly about shridevi,rekhas contemporary and rival to downsize rekha....
rekha received her lifetime achievment award from filmfare way back in 2003 and gave a long speech.....after that in an awards ceremony most probably zee cine awards shatrughan said "i do talk much par lokpriya abhinetri rekhaji se kam"........
but its a different pic now, he would praise rekha time and again.....
a cheap publicity monger old haggard.....just hate him....
Nice post..yes i remember that incident abt Rajesh Khanna making fun of her. And in an interview Rishi Kapoor slammed her really very badly. He said something like 'She is an idiot. Why she doesn't understand that she is not getting younger anymore. They are honoring ur work. I remember she rcvd one lifetime award when i also recd one.' something like that.Don't remember the exact words. But it was harsh but sadly true. Sometimes Rekha really puzzled me a lot. If she really doesn't like lifetime award then why did she accept the Filmfare LTA award back in 2003. Then again, what was all the issue about giving a performance in Dada saheb awards? Sometimes i feel that she is really dying to act/perform and wants to show to people she still has it in her. i really feel that she should come in some social networking site so that we fans can send her messages and give our opinions, feedback on anything related to her. But she is so inaccessible :( . Nothing can be done to change her thinking. Having said that, i still love her so much and will keep doing so even with all her tantrums and her strange thought process. :)
So beautiful and incridble....
i do agree wid u on this note that inspite of everything we love her.....
a newspaper really slammed shatrughan sinha and said that mr sinha gave a really boring speech and that is one part of the show where u can really say khamosh or take a loo break....
vidya balan chose khubsoorat and preity zinta chose umraao jaan and dil hai tumhara as their favourite rekha films from the iifa green carpet.....
priyanka chopra came riding on a cycle and parked herself on rekha's lap and danced to the tunes of rafta rafta from kahani kismat ki along with rekha......and post nach gaana commented ...."this(rekha) is the only reason i wanted to be a man".....flattering nah?
tk care n stay in touch....

thank u vibha....
arijit
Khoobsurat as like REKHA...
lets see what happens.....i just hope she attends the wedding or the reception....
she is such a beautiful and talented actress, i dont know why directors like sanjay leela bhansali,kunal kohli,karan johar,ashutosh gowarikar,anurag basu,rajkumar hirani,madhur bhandarkar did not cast her.....?
one of the primary reasons i guess is the exhorbitant price that she qoutes for each project.....dats the sole reason rana,rutba or the jhalak project has gone out of her hand......
just dying to see her at the theatres.....hope even u fl d same....
tk care n stay in touch.....
Again thanks to you...

Vibha
thanx for ur feedback.....i personally felt that rekha receiving the national award or the padmashree or a series of rekha photos winning awards would have been a better toast to the eyes than this current photo which is nothing but a photo from the professional photo shoots...
this photo lacks the expression of rekha as a winner,the excitement of emerging victorious or the humility of being acknowledged.......this is the sole reason i requested the moderators to change the photo......
although rishabh or amit has not come up with any comment that would speak of their discontent considering the feedback or the constant pestering i would appreciate had they come up with a clearer answer..........
i was given the impression that this site is as much mine as it is of the moderators.....so i blvd it was my discretion to come up with views which are personally mine....
however well knowing its a favourite of yours the request stands null and void ....
thank you....

"I dedicate this award to today's young actors like Priyanka, Parineeti, Sonakshi and Vidya. This is the beginning of an endless end. I wish could be half as graceful, half as spontaneous as Zohra Segal, achieve as much as her. I think I am half way there," said Rekha.
Really she is soo lovely.
I am also dying to see her in a decent & well made movie with a good role where she is well presented, well styled too. Last time she was really well presented was Parineeta song. Yes , i feel sad to say that but after that i have not liked her appearances/styling. BRRB was dreadful, KKHZ was also nothing to write abt, Yatra could have been better, sadiyaan though a dated movie, has a good , important role for her but her styling was so not good. At least i don't find her long eye lashes, dark lips and carefully placed curls of hair in any scenes whether she is happy or sad, not very eye pleasing. Yes money could be one of the reason also that ppl are not approaching her or i read somewhere in filmfare sometime back that her towering personality intimidates directors too. By the way , u wrote she missed out on Rutba. Which movie was that? who offered her and what was the starcast? I think i somehow missed out on this news. I am just curious that how much she quotes these days. I remember reading Khalid mohammed article, he wanted to make a sequel of Zubeida with whole movie on Rajmata Mandira devi but Rekha quoted so much which was almost equal to the whole budget of movie. He shelved the movie. Or is it a way of her to say no to a project? God knows. But yes i want to see her on screen so badly that i can't describe. Now, with Sridevi & Madhuri both making comeback soon with small budgeted movies, so my eagerness has really increased to see Rekha too back on screen. Hoping for the best.
happy birthday dr....many many happy returns of the day.....its ur day dude....so njoi and live it to the fullest......wish all ur dreams come true this year........
tk care my frnd.....byeeee.....
u are always welcome dr....hope u had a grt day.....
tk care buddy....
well dr u got it right rutba is the same movie that was supposed to be zubeida's sequel...
i just hope she is being offered good roles, and she accepts them even at the cost of lowering her price a bit...
i am just dying to see her in a well made movie with a substancial role...i dont know why on earth she accepted films like bachke rehna re baba,mujhe meri biwi se bachao,kudiyon ka hain zamana....they have helped her in earning a bad name....
hema malini's movie with eesha deol in the lead didnot take off,rekha was supposed to play the mothers role which would speak off mother daughter relation whose gap was finally bridged by music....even the kalpana lazmi movie based on the life of devdasis didnot materialize....the same thing happened with sanjay leela bhansali's bajirao mastani and the other project based on heermandi,which was supposed to be premised on the lives of hookers and prostitutes....shabana azmi,aisharya rai,madhuri dixit and rekha were supposed to play pivotal roles....but even that didnot took off....
i dont know why these happens with rekha films only.....each and every time that she is being selected for a movie i keep myself ready for a heartbreak well knowing its going to be shelved.....
i hope ours prayers are answered and she signs on the dotted lines of a good project....
Yess all picx are superb which u share with us but My fav is in which she kissed the iifa trophy.
Lovely lady Rock the IIfa.
enjoy it thoroghly..
Mr Rishabh is the craziest fan of Diva Rekha... good going dear

Thank u thank u thank u :) i am loving the new segment. Though i am not sure if others also facing it..i am not able to see the magazine scans but newspaper scans are visible to me. But anyways, i am so happy today that people like me who dont'have easy access to all the magazines, can read articles on our beloved Rekha. I really appreciate all your hardwork you have put in here.
I agree . Don't know why this happens with her films only but i think we fans just keep track of her movies so we keep noticing it again and again. Long back Rajkumar Santoshi wanted to make Ramayana and Rekha was being considered for Kekayi role..I was so excited to hear that but again whole project didn't materialize.
Last couple of years , i have read only role being offered to her was Rana. And oh yes in Luck by chance. Zoya wanted to take her in the role which Dimple did eventually. I know that was a small role but somehow i would have really loved to see her in that. Don't know , she refused it because of length of the role or again money issue.
I can't describe how desperate or eager i am to see her in a well made movie, where she has a good meaty role. Don't know when our wish will be fulfilled. Fingers crossed.
I think the problem of Magazine scans not showing up, is at ur end. I tried to see it on multiple computers & browsers but can't see any. Pls check & fix it. I can see newspaper scans perfectly though. Thanks.
guys i have just seen the new segment...its a great addition....but i must say its a stupendous task that u have taken upon yourselves......so good to see the scans from different news papers and magazines.......grt job guys.....keep it up....
Let some beauty day the Oscar Award statue be in the palm of Your hand !
You deserve it !!
i just hope our wishes come true....in a way i am glad that rekha didnot take up dimple's role in luck by chance....u know why?there was this particular dialogue by rishi kapoor whre he referred to dimple as "crocodile in a shiffon saree"....
i know its a silly reason....but....hota hain.... i hope u undrstnd....
stay in touch.....
i dont know why but i cant see the magazine scans.....are they not updated yet.....?plz clarify.
tk care...byeee...
