Throwback Thursday: Here’s how Rekha looked 40 years back!

Bollywood

beauty Rekha turned a year older today and here’s a rare click that celebrates the timeless diva. This adorable throwback picture of Rekha is from the 70s, when she was shooting for a film. Going by this photograph, the actress doesn’t seem to have aged much. Decked up in a glittering costume and chunky jewellery, Rekha looks resplendent in this monochrome click.


Rekha faced the camera at a young age, playing a child artist in Telugu film ‘

Rangula Ratnam

’ in 1966. She has actively been a part of films since almost 50 years, making her debut as the leading lady with 1969 Kannada release ‘Operation Jackpot Nalli C.I.D 999’ and marked her entry in Bollywood with ‘Sawan Bhadon’. Here’s yet another gem from the archives. This picture is from 1998 when the actress began shooting for her film ‘

Biwi Ho To Aisi

’. Here the actress is snapped before her first shot, with filmmaker

Rekha is now doing fewer films, but is always around to spread a cheer at events and gatherings. The timeless beauty continues to stuns in her iconic sarees and exquisite jewellery, inspiring many with her sartorial taste.
