Rekha was called a superstar at the time. She gave many blockbuster films. Actors were always ready to work with her in films. But there was a time when actors used to refuse to do films with her. This is when she entered Bollywood. Then she had to face a lot of rejection. However, her hard work made a different place for herself in Bollywood. Be it personal life or professional life, she did not give up even after all the ups and downs. After working in South cinema, when she entered Bollywood at the age of just 16, the people of the industry rejected her. Rekha did not fit into the set standard of Bollywood actresses, she was an ordinary girl who had a dark complexion and was also overweight.

Rekha’s hero in her first film was none other than Naveen Nischol. This was the first film for both of them, but as soon as he saw Rekha, he refused to work with her. He was Rekha’s hero in this film, but due to Rekha’s look, he did not want to work with her as a hero. At the same time, Rekha’s co-star in the film, Moushumi Chatterjee, also opposed Rekha. Moushumi Chatterjee objected to the makers giving more importance to Rekha in this film with two lead actresses. It is said that the makers had given Rekha’s name above Moushumi’s in the film. Then Moushumi had told the makers that her name should be given before Rekha’s. And she got angry about this.

Later in an interview, Moushumi said that I believe in work. However, I believe that I am not inferior to Rekha. My name should be before hers. She also said that if the director likes justice, then such controversies do not happen.

Let us tell you that Rekha worked as a child artist in South. She entered Bollywood in the 70s. She made her Bollywood debut with ‘Sawan Bhado’. This film was released on 2 September 1970. The film ‘Sawan Bhado’ was a superhit at the box office. It is said that while working in the film, Rekha and Naveen became very close. In the film, Rekha played the role of Chanda, a village girl. Vikram i.e. Naveen Nischol, falls in love with the courageous Chanda.
