Hindi film actor Rekha has been impressing us with her excellent acting skills and alluring beauty. On Rekha’s 69th birthday, we look back at the most memorable roles she’s played so far.
While the film didn’t do well at the box office, Rekha was lauded for the powerful performance. This was the first time she played a housewife on screen and her portrayal of a rape victim was heart-touching and poignant.
Rekha as the vivacious Manju in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s ‘Khoobsurat’ was a breath of fresh air. She managed to shine bright in this multi-starrer production courtesy her impressive acting skills.
This is one of Rekha’s best performances till date. ‘Umrao Jaan’ revolved around the life of a Lucknow-based courtesan Amiran, played by Rekha, and her road to success.
In the first half, she was a sensitive and homely woman, but in the second half, things change, and you see her in a completely modern, bold avatar.
In this Shyam Benegal-directorial, her portrayal as a Rajasthani maharani was noteworthy. She was so charming and elegant as Mandira Devi.
Here’s a role that demanded attention and there’s no way one could ignore it. Rekha played this glam gangster lady, who organised illegal wrestling tournaments in the United States.
