Veteran Bollywood actress Rekha has always been the epitome of beauty and iconic expressions, who has left an indelible mark on the film industry. Born on October 10, 1954, in Chennai, India. She was born into a family with connections to the film industry, as her father, Gemini Ganesan, was a popular Tamil actor, and her mother, Pushpavalli, was a Telugu actress. Rekha made her Bollywood debut as a child artist in the film 'Rangula Ratnam' (1966). Her first lead role was in the film 'Sawan Bhadon' (1970).
As the OG fashionista turns a year wiser today, an old video started making rounds on social media, where Rekha is seen paying homage to the late Pakistani classical singer Mehdi Hassan by singing one of his renowned songs. Back in 1983, London, she sang Mehdi Hassan's ghazal, 'Mujhe Tum Nazar Se Gira To Rahe Ho...Mujhe Tum Kabhi Bhi Bhula Na Sakoge' with great skill and emotion. However, after singing, she modestly covers her face, expressing that she could have delivered a better rendition. Take a look:
For the unversed, Mehdi Hassan, a legendary Pakistani ghazal singer and playback singer, earned the well-deserved title of the "King of Ghazals." He is widely recognised for introducing the exquisite art of ghazal singing to a global audience, leaving an indelible mark on the world of music.
