When Rekha made her debut in Bollywood with ‘Sawan Bhado’, nobody had the slightest hint that the plump and dark-skinned actress would go on to become the eternal Diva of beauty in the tinsel town. The fact that she has managed to keep herself fit and young is not any secret but her latest photo shoot for the July issue of Filmfare is simply stunning. Her perfect curves, sculpted jawbone, cleavage, shoulders, arms, waistline and legs, along with seducing eyes and pout- all seem to scream that no young beauty can match this eternal beauty.
Rekha has undergone a strict routine of yoga and aerobics under the tutelage of Rama Bans in the ’80s. The actress, who used to visit a gym in Hotel Sea Rock, now has set up her own gymnasium in her Bandra bunglow. She is also visits a suburban spa in Mumbai regularly for meditation.
The photographer Jagdish Mali who has done this photo shoot swears by this perfect beauty and claims that except some minor touch ups, he has not tampered or altered the photos in any way.
“When we shoot digitally, a little bit of touch-up here and there is necessary. I’ve just made minor changes to the images… haven’t tampered with her figure at all!” Mali told TOI adding, “We know she’s been maintaining herself well. When you’re young at heart, it reflects on your face.”
Filmfare editor Jitesh Pillaai said on Twitter, “Got so many lovely reactions to the latest rekha’s pics @ filmfare. Her sarees, her flair, her performances, makeup techniques, truly iconic! “Would love to see her work in movies with Aparna Sen, Zoya Akhtar, Mani Ratnam, Sanjay Bhansali.”
