Happy birthday Rekha: What makes the enigmatic diva, an evergreen beauty

One of the living legends of Bollywood, Rekha turns 64. The enchantress still woos her audience with her presence. She once dominated the Hindi film industry with her charismatic persona. More than her on-screen charm, it was her off-screen affairs that made headlines. Rekha’s personal life as a star became a ground on which many a battle was fought. But that did not deter her spirit. She still came onscreen and shone brighter than the lights on the sets. Rekha is often described as an enigma. With the help of the prying media, we know so much about her yet there is a feeling that we do not know her well enough. That explains why each time Rekha makes a public appearance there is a mandatory shot of an awkward Amitabh Bachchan. Much like him, Rekha has been the only star from her generation who has aged gracefully. While others wear their age on their sleeves, Rekha looks effortlessly ageless and striking, which makes her the evergreen beauty.
