Having said 'Cheese' to the Bollywood quite early in life, she went on to grace films that have been hugely responsible for giving Bollywood its international identity. For all those who have always yearned to wish this lady, we give you the chance that you thought was never possible. Simply post your 'Happy Birthday' wishes below and you never know…today could just be your lucky day!
Rekha in Bollywood
Rekha was particularly recognised for her roles in women-oriented films like 'Khubsoorat', 'Umrao Jaan' which won her a national award, and 'Khoon Bhari Mang' that fetched her a Filmfare award. Rekha has acted in over 180 films in a career spanning 40 years.
She is one of the few Hindi film actresses who had the versatility to carry with equal aplomb diverse roles like the young brat in 'Khoobsoorat', the sultry siren in 'Muqaddar Ka Sikander', the housewife in 'Ijaazat' and the classical courtesan in 'Umrao Jaan'.
Among her offbeat films were Shyam Benegal's 'Kalyug', Ramesh Talwar's 'Baseraa', which saw her playing the woman who marries her sister's husband and loses her mental balance, and commercially successful 'Ek Hi Bhool' opposite Jeetendra. Other notable art films were 'Jeevan', 'Dhaara', 'Utsav' and 'Ijazat'.
