The 70s-80s Bollywood actress, Rekha has been known for her unparalleled screen presence. Her chemistry with all her co-stars has always made her a lover boy’s favorite celebrity crush in those times. Her curves and beauty were a class apart. Even now given her age she could absolutely be envied by today’s actresses. Some of her mind-blowing roles in Umrao Jaan, Silsila, Khoobsurat got her the limelight she deserved. She is a complete pleasure to watch for!
Of late, there were speculations made as to how she keeps up with the modern-day beauty standards and the general stardom maintenance. She has not been a part of any recent movies. If calculations are correct, she was last seen in Shamitabh. That was in the year 2015. She is not even seen in commercial advertisements nor at many public events or appearances. Given the remuneration structure from her era, it is definitely difficult to keep up with the contemporary lifestyle that we see she leads. After much research, it was found that her income is channeled from different sources. Apart from Basera, where she currently resides, she also owns a few more apartments in Mumbai and places in South India. She receives a wealthy amount of lease from there.
Next, she is also a member of Rajya Sabha. But sources confirmed of her regular absence. Yet she receives her deserving compensation and often makes appearances at private occasions. Then she is welcomed by industrialists. Matters made it sound otherwise!
She has been an ardent saree lover and her Kanjeevaram saree collection is to die for. Not only the female audience but also celebrities wish to steal her closet. All her collections are mostly part of her earlier buys during her film days. This has been quite a great investment as now she does not really need to invest in anything majorly extravagant. Good thinking, what say?
Also, she does not really invest in a PR team and all her existing whatever appearances are managed by her age-old manager Farzana. She has been a constant in Rekha’s life and has been one of the key persons to hold her together. Especially, given her time when apparently Amitabh Bachchan left her to get hitched to Jaya Bachchan. All her appointments, award shows, events are still taken care of by Farzana. They are so airtight that even a mystery relationship rumor also sparked between these two ladies! However, it was never confirmed to be real.
She has always believed “a penny spared is a penny earned”. She has definitely emerged as a surprise and quite a smart person in terms of personal finance as compared to the usual knacks of spending fortunes of the Bollywood clan. Rekha has not only romanced with actors of her era but her scintillating chemistry with Akshay Kumar in International Khiladi really made her own the siren meter. Even today, her beauty is real talk. But she turned to be brainy as well. With no out of the world expenses, she still manages to live a luxury life without movies.
