Rekha is an unusual phenomenon. She is reclusive. And enigmatic. Yet, she manages to surprise with her sheer magnanimity. At times. She did a big favour to debutante director Amar Butala when she agreed to do his film ‘Kudiyon Ka Hai Zamana’. He is innately grateful to the cooperation the veteran actor extended to him. Butala agrees that having such a senior artiste onboard helped him gain seriousness from everyone involved. Mahima Chaudhry is also a part of the star-cast.

Initially it was difficult to pin down Rekha. She gave him two days for reading the script. Butala couldn’t believe his luck when she not only read the script in the specified period, she joined the crew too. “Honestly I can’t thank her enough for doing the film and then being as kind as she was on the sets,” says Amar Butala.

Rekha continues to spread her magic. It takes a lot of effort and gumption to continue ruling the roost at her age. We wish her all the best for the coming films.
