Rekha did not want to become an actress even after being a star kid, then fate made her a superstar like this

Rekha: Who does not know Bollywood's ever green actress Rekha. As a veteran actress, Rekha rules the hearts of the fans. At that time, Rekha had won everyone's heart with her beauty and excellent acting. But are you aware that she never wanted to become an actress. What happened that made Rekha agree to work in films and how she got her first film.

Rekha did not want to become an actress

While on one hand, seeing the brilliant performances of many veteran actresses like Nargis and Sharmila Tagore, many girls in that era dreamed of becoming heroines in films, on the other hand, despite being a star kid, Rekha did not want to become an actress. Rekha, daughter of veteran actor Gemini Ganesan, did not like working in films. This was revealed by Rekha in an interview given to BBC in 1996. She said – I never want to become an actress.

Family members convinced Rekha to beat her

Rekha said that this was the wish of my family members. He convinced me to do Mar-Mar films and sent me to the sets for shooting. It was not at all my wish that I am the daughter of a superstar and I also have to go into this field. In such a situation, I was forced to work in films. To tell the truth, for the first 7-8 years of my career, I was not at all interested in working in films.

This is how Rekha debuted in Bollywood

Rekha further said – There is an interesting incident regarding the first film. Actually, at the age of 3, I was working in South Cinema films as a child actress. But I got my break in Bollywood because of two brothers, Satyajit Pal and Kuljeet Pal. He was making a film for which he was looking for a South Indian girl who could speak a little Hindi and I did not know Hindi at all. I met her, she asked if I know Hindi, I said no, she said will you work in films, I said no. Still he made up his mind to sign me. I got my first movie at the age of 13. Let us tell you that Rekha made her Bollywood debut with the film Sawan Bhadon and the film was a superhit.
