Rekha's parents were not married, and her father did not acknowledge his paternity during her childhood.^[3] It was during the early 1970s, when she was looking for a footing in the Bollywood film industry, that she revealed her origins. Later, at the peak of her career, Rekha told a magazine interviewer that her father's neglect still rankled and that she had ignored his efforts at reconciliation.^[3]

Film career

1970s

Rekha appeared as a child actor in the Telugu film Rangula Ratnam (1966). Rekha made her debut as heroine in the successful Kannada film Goadalli CID 999 with Dr. Rajkumar in 1969.^[3] Also, in 1969, she starred in her first Hindi film Anjana Safar (later retitled Do Shikari). She later claimed that she was tricked into a kissing scene with leading man Biswajit^[4] for the overseas market, and the kiss made it to the Asian edition of "Life" magazine.^[5] The film ran into censorship problems, and wouldn't be released until a decade later.^[6] She had two films released in 1970: the Telugu film Amma Kosam and the Hindi film Sawan Bhadon. She had to learn Hindi language, as her naturally spoken languages were Tamil and Telugu. Sawan Bhadon became a hit, and Rekha — a star overnight.^[3] She got several offers but nothing of substance. Her roles were mostly used to be just of a glamour girl. She appeared in several commercially successful films, such as Kahani Kismat Ki, Raampur Ka Lakshman and Pran Jaaye Par Vachan Na Jaaye, yet she was not as regarded for her acting abilities.^[3] Telugu redirects here. ...

However, her most significant turning point came in 1978, when she portrayed the role of a rape victim in the movie Ghar, alongside Vinod Mehra. The film was considered her first notable milestone, as she got critical acclaim for her performance, and received her first nomination for Best Actress at the Filmfare.^[3] In that same year, she first attained real fame with Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, in which she co-starred once again with Amitabh Bachchan. The movie was the biggest hit of that year, as well as one of the biggest hits of the decade, and Rekha was set as one of the most successful actresses of these times.^[7] Apart from being a commercial success, the film opened to positive critical reception, and Rekha's performance earned her a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Filmfare.^[3] GHAR could mean: Grab Hands and Run, A book by the author of Frances Temple, abbreviated GHAR OR G.H.A.R.

Following the success Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Rekha went on to co-star with Bachchan in a number of hits. She had not only a successful on-screen pair with him, but a real-life relationship, which was widely reported in the media, as well as sharply criticised, as he was a married man.^[8] This relationship was ended and concluded in 1981, when they starred in Yash Chopra's drama Silsila.^[8] The film was the most scandalous of their films together, as it was based on their real-life relationship. Rekha played Bachchan's love interest, while Bachchan's real-life wife, Jaya Bhaduri, played his wife. This has been the last film together where they actually shared a frame - in all their later films, they never met on-screen.^[8] Bachchan redirects here. ...

The film-column gossip may have contributed to her success. However, even critics had to admit that she had worked hard to perfect her Hindi and her acting, and that she had transformed herself from a "plump" duckling to a "swan" in the early 1970s. Rekha's credits to this transformation were yoga, a nutritious diet, and a regular, disciplined life.

In 1981, she starred in the Urdu film Umrao Jaan. The film tells the story of a young girl, Amiran, who is kidnapped and sold in a brothel, and follows her life story there as Umrao. Her portrayal of a sensitive courtesan was considered one of her career best performances, and she received the coveted National Film Award for Best Actress. Overall, she played a courtesan with a heart of gold in several of her films; Muqaddar Ka Sikandar and Umrao Jaan were followed by a number of films with Rekha playing similar roles.

Rekha's post-Bachchan era marked a new stage in her career; it was the time when she turned her career professionally. She was willing to work with independent and art film directors, and throughout the 1980s, regularly worked in parallel cinema, a term that refers to the new wave, realistic cinema in India. Her venture into this particular genre started off with Umrao Jaan, and was followed by other 1981 such releases as Shyam Benegal's award-winning drama, Kalyug; Ramesh Talwar's Baseraa, which saw her playing a woman who marries her sister's husband, after the latter loses her mental balance; and the commercially successful Ek Hi Bhool, opposite Jeetendra, with Rekha playing the role of a woman who decides to leave her husband, after discovering his one-time affair with her best friend. Her performances in these films were highly praised by critics. Other notable arthouse films during the 1980s included Jeevan Dhaara, Utsav and Ijaazat.

Apart from parallel cinema, Rekha took on other increasingly serious, even adventurous roles; She was among the early actresses to play lead roles in heroine-oriented films, delivering films such as Khubsoorat, Khoon Bhari Maang and Mujhe Insaaf Chahiye; She won Filmfare trophies for her roles in Khubsoorat and Khoon Bhari Maang. One critic wrote about her performance in Khoon Bhari Maang, "Rekha as Aarti is just flawless and this is one of her best performance ever! In the first half as the shy and not so sexy Aarti she is excellent and after the plastic surgery as the model and femme fatale she is excellent too.

1990s onwards

The 1990s saw drop in her success and she almost lost her stardom. She was part of some commercially and critically unsuccessful films, in spite of doing even more challenging roles. Unlike most actresses of her generation during the 70s and the 80s, like Hema Malini and Raakhee, who began making supporting roles as the mother or the aunty, Rekha was still playing the leading roles, at the same time when heroines Madhuri Dixit and Raveena Tandon were notable.

The foreign film, Kama Sutra: A Tale Of Love and the commercially successful Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi (1996) were some of her most notable films during the decade. The former, which was directed by Mira Nair was known for its controversial topic, as Rekha played a Kama Sutra teacher in the film.

In 2001, she starred as Ramdulari in Rajkumar Santoshi's Lajja, along with an ensemble cast that included Manisha Koirala, Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor. She received several nominations for her portrayal; critic, Taran Adarsh, wrote of her performance, "... it is Rekha who walks away with the glory, delivering one of the finest performances the Indian screen has seen in the recent times."^[9] In that same year she acted alongside Karisma Kapoor in Shyam Benegal's Zubeidaa.

Rekha is thus one of the few Hindi film actresses who had the versatility to carry with equal aplomb such diverse roles as that of the brattish schoolgirl of Khubsoorat, the sultry siren of Muqaddar ka Sikandar, the school-maarmish housewife of Ijaazat and classical courtesan in Umrao Jaan. Her diction and dialogue delivery in Hindi and Urdu, languages that were not natural to her, is an example even to native speakers of those tongues. She imbues every role she essayed with a dignity and characterization that makes it difficult to visualize anyone but her in those roles. In doing so, she has carved an indelible name for herself in the annals of Indian cinema. Khubsoorat is a 1980 Indian film directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee. ...
