The President asked- Why do you apply vermilion? In a crowded gathering, Rekha revealed the secret for which the whole country was waiting!

Bollywood’s ‘Evergreen Beauty’ Rekha is known for her acting, beauty and killer looks, but there is a mystery related to her which has intrigued the fans for years. That secret is the vermilion of their demand! After all, in whose name does Rekha apply vermilion? Everyone is desperate to know the answer to this question. Once even the President of the country had asked him this question in a public gathering. Let us know what Rekha replied then.

When the President asked ‘the secret of vermilion’

This incident is very interesting. During an award function, the then President Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy directly asked Rekha a question which surprised everyone present there. The President asked, “Why do you add vermilion to your maang?” Rekha’s vermillion has always been a topic of discussion and it has become a very special part of her signature look.

Rekha did not hesitate at all on this direct question of the President. He replied with utmost simplicity and a smile. Rekha said, “In the city I come from, it is very common to fill the mang with vermilion… it is a fashion there.” With this one line answer, Rekha put an end to all the speculations that were going on at that time.

By the way, the connection between politics and Bollywood is also amazing. Recently Kangana Ranaut had requested Priyanka Gandhi to watch her film. On this request of Kangana, Priyanka gave such a blunt answer that the parrots of BJP people flew away after hearing this!

The journey from flop to becoming a superstar

If we talk about Rekha’s film journey, she has given many blockbuster films to the cinema world. Films like ‘Nagin’ (1976), ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’ (1978), ‘Mr. Natwarlal’ (1979), ‘Khoobsurat’ (1980), ‘Umrao Jaan’ (1981) and ‘Khoon Bhari Maang’ (1988) made him a shining star of the industry.

Rekha has always believed that she is not just a star but a true artist. For him, the length of the role in any film does not matter, but the importance of the role matters. That’s why instead of just chasing the lead role, he brought alive all kinds of characters.

Big revelation on marriage was made in Simi Grewal’s show

Rekha has always been in the headlines for her personal life, but she opened many closed pages of her heart in Simi Grewal’s talk show. When she was asked in the show, what did Bhanurekha (Rekha’s real name) want to become in real life? So Rekha’s answer was very shocking.

Rekha had revealed, “I did not want to become an actor at all. I just wanted to get married and set up a small, lovely house of my own.” Rekha also confessed that she could never express her feelings openly to the world. She has always been challenging herself and this trend continues even today. The biggest proof of this was seen recently, when Rekha left even the new age stars behind by giving a non-stop performance on stage for 24-25 minutes at the IIFA Awards.
