During her initial years, Rekha wasn't considered well in her looks and was criticisesd as an 'ugly duckling'. In an interview Rekha said that because of her dark complexion and south Indian features she was considered an ugly duckling in Bollywood. She was determined to change people's attitude towards her and she did. In the late 70s she went through a transformation, courtesy Amitabh Bachchan, and later emerged as a sex symbol.
She became choosy while selecting the flicks and in 1976 flick “Do Anjaane” was considered as a ‘performance-oriented' flick of Rekha. Her transformed look and attitude was loved by the spectators.
