On Rekha's 69th birthday, let's take a look at her old interview where she talks about how her dream man should be
Bollywood icon Rekha marks her 69th birthday today, October 10. Renowned for her timeless grace, she has graced the silver screen with classics like Silsila, Umrao Jaan, and Khoobsurat. Beyond her cinematic allure, her personal life has been a constant topic of conversation in both tabloids and among her admirers. In 1990, she briefly tied the knot with businessman Mukesh Agarwal, whose tragic suicide seven months after their wedding left her in sorrow. Nonetheless, Rekha's enduring hope for love persisted throughout the years. ALSO READ: DID YOU KNOW?

In the throwback interview, Rekha openly discussed her ideal man, stating, "I’m not in denial. If I find someone who’s willing to share me with my fans, I might change my mind." She also detailed the care she would provide for her husband, saying, "I’ll take out his clothes, personally monitor his menu, prepare lunch, and personally deliver it to him." Interestingly, Rekha never desired to have children, emphasizing her priorities and dedication to her career. She remarked, "I do not miss children. Even if I find the ultimate man to have babies with, it would be very unfair to my priorities. Because if I have a baby, I won’t be able to focus on anything else." ALSO READ: OMG!

Rekha's romantic journey in the film industry had its share of ups and downs. Her first crush was on her early co-star, Naveen Nishchal, but unfortunately, he never returned her affections. As per the National Herald India, during the filming of Elaan (1971), she developed feelings for her co-star Vinod Mehra, eventually leading to marriage. However, Vinod's mother strongly opposed their union and didn't allow Rekha into their home.
Later on, Rekha reportedly formed a close bond with actor Kiran Kumar, the son of the legendary actor Jeevan. Although Kiran agreed to marry her, Jeevan was against the match, leading to yet another rejection in Rekha's love life. Much speculation surrounded Rekha's affection for Amitabh Bachchan, with whom she shared the screen in films like Silsila and Namak Haraam, but their relationship remained a subject of curiosity. The veteran actress never got married again. Rekha still graces top Bollywood events and film screenings even today.
