I'm a sex maniac: Rekha

Rekha with her ex-husband Mukesh Agarwal

Mukesh once told Rekha, "There's an AB in my life too." That AB was Akash Bajaj, his psychiatrist whom Mukesh wanted to marry. Mukesh later committed suicide at his residence when Rekha left his home and wanted a divorce from him.

Rekha with Subhash Ghai

Subhash Ghai once said, "Rekha has put such a blot on the face of the film industry that it'll be difficult to wash it away easily. I think after this any respectable family will think twice before accepting any actress as their bahoo. It's going to be tough even professionally for her. No conscientious director will work with her ever again. How will the audience accept her as Bharat ki nari or insaf ki devi?"

Jaya's take on this affair :

Let the world say what they want. He and he has to have the courage and if he is doing something behind my back, it's his problem. Not my problem. He has to live with it. And with his conscience."

Rekha's didibhai aka Jaya Bachchan

Despite all the rumours and facts surrounding her link up with Big B, Rekha maintained the fact, "The fact that he was a married man doesn't make any kind of a difference. A rose is a rose is a rose."

Have you read the latest book on the evergreen Rekha?

While it unfolds the drama surrounding her love life and the infamous affair with superstar Amitabh Bachchan, the book has more to it which can leave many readers sympathizing with the actress.

Yes, there are explosive chapters and accounts of their relationship, her equation with Jaya Bachchan, of how she still unabashedly loves Amitabh Bachchan. "A rose is a rose is a rose.. will get stuck in your head and is perhaps the best line to describe the megastar of the century, but, Rekha The Untold To Story has more to it, than just the romantic revelations.

The author unveils the past of Rekha, or should we say Bhanurekha Ganesha, her parents, her struggle, molestation by industry people, racist jokes from the biggest of stars and what not!

The chapters which are written quite dramatically, including the ones on her husband and his suicide, paint a portrait of Rekha which many of us have never imagined. The book reads more like a script as if you're watching a movie on Rekha, just that all the characters are real. From the description of how choked she felt during the worst times, to tears rolling down her eyes with nerving accounts of her personal life (her relationship with her secretary Farzana, to being bisexual) this book is a must read.
