Rekha entered the industry in the 60’s and audiences immediately rejected her as being fat and ugly. The former ugly duckling claims Yoga helped her shed the excess fat and change her skin tone. But rumors of a miracle cream from Singapore (which she denies, but we fully believe —how else did her skin shade change so dramatically?) are known to be the cause of her flawless complexion.

Rekha's secret behind maintaining her stunning face and figure might be a regular nutritious diet and exercise plan or scheduled visits to her favorite plastic surgeon. We will never know for sure, but there’s no harm in admiring her beauty—fake or real! 

The original diva of Bollywood is hardly seen in the party circuit these days and the reclusive actress says she has no plans to celebrate her birthday either. Coincidentally, her ex-lover Amitabh Bachchan’s birthday is the day after hers and we hear he also isn’t celebrating. 

While Amitabh is no longer in the picture, we’re sure Rekha’s long-time lover and secretary, Farzana, has made some very intimate plans to celebrate the actress’ very special 54th birthday!
