It’s the super amazing, multi-talented actress Rekha’s birthday on October 10. While the audience considers her the epitome of beauty, celebrities too think alike and have showered her with praise on her big day. Here’s what they had to say:
Jaideep Singh
I have loved Rekha Ji since my childhood. I have seen her in the most simple avatars to her gorgeous characters, and I have loved them all because of the way she carried herself back then and even now. Her recent performance at the IIFA was a notch higher than the last time, especially at this age. As a kid, I loved her in Khoon Bhari Maang. I would like to watch Umrao Jaan and Silsila in theatres again.

Diva Rekha Ji is a legendary Bollywood actress known for her iconic personality, grace, and aura as an actor and human being, which have a lasting impact on Indian cinema and on us. Many like me idolize her. She is extreme in whatever she puts her hand to, whether it’s work, beauty, or humanity. We need to learn a lot from her in every aspect. It’s not at all easy to master the ability to hold a place in the audience's heart from where you begin to the present day, and she is doing it effortlessly. As a creative soul and sensitive artist, I can sense and understand her efforts and pain in this game. Salute to the Diva. I loved watching her in Umrao Jaan, Khubsoorat, Silsila, Khoon Bhari Maang, and Utsav.
Rohit Choudhary
Yes, Rekha Ji appears timeless. It takes a lot of consistency and dedication to present oneself that way forever. She has brought fashion and a female daredevil image to the industry with famous movies like Khoon Bhari Maang. Many movies were inspired by that film. I would watch that in theatres too. Phool Bane Angaare was also a good movie, inspiring and depicting women's power.
Raviraa Bhardwaj
Rekha is indeed an icon, effortlessly evolving throughout her career and redefining beauty, grace, and versatility in Indian cinema. Her ability to transform and stay relevant through various phases, both in her personal style and her roles, is remarkable. She’s always had an aura that transcends time, making her unforgettable. Some of my favorite Rekha films are Umrao Jaan for her grace and elegance, Silsila for its emotional depth, and Khoon Bhari Maang, where she showcased her strength and resilience. Watching Umrao Jaan in theatres would be magical—a true experience of cinematic grandeur and Rekha’s mesmerizing performance.
Yes, she is an eternal beauty, super talented, and so graceful to this day. She has maintained her beauty and her class. There are a lot of films that I love, and it’s difficult to name just one. She is an institution of acting.
Celesti Bairagey
Rekha Ji’s ability to transform herself at various stages of her career is nothing short of remarkable. From a simple, young girl in her earlier films to becoming a style icon and a powerhouse performer, she has shown incredible growth as an actor. She mastered the art of reinvention, which kept her relevant and admired throughout the decades, and her ability to age gracefully while still looking radiant is an inspiration to many. I would love to watch Silsila in theatres again. The drama, the music, and Rekha ji’s portrayal of a woman caught in a complicated love triangle are beautifully done. Watching it on the big screen would bring back the nostalgia of classic Bollywood.
Anupama Solanki
Rekhaji is truly timeless. Her grace, elegance, and ability to reinvent herself at every stage of her career is something that few actors can achieve. From her early days to becoming the epitome of glamour, she has always been ahead of her time, both in her style and her performances. What makes her transformation so remarkable is that it was not just about her looks; it was also about how she evolved as an actor. Rekha ji has delivered many iconic performances, but Muqaddar Ka Sikandar holds a special place for me. The intensity of her emotions and her portrayal of a tragic lover are unforgettable. I also love Khoon Bhari Maang, where she went through an incredible transformation both physically and emotionally.
