Rekha, counted among the evergreen actresses of Bollywood, needs no introduction. Rekha, who faced a lot of difficulties in her childhood, had to step into the world of acting at a very young age. She never wanted to become a heroine, but circumstances and compulsion forced her to choose acting as a career path.
Rekha came into films and ruled the hearts of millions of people. Even today, Rekha has millions of admirers. At the age of 69, she beats even today's heroines in terms of beauty. Rekha's real name is Bhanurekha Ganesan, but she became famous as Rekha.
Rekha worked in more than 180 films in her career and won many awards including a National Award and a Padma Shri. Rekha has been away from acting for the last 10 years, but whenever she is seen in public, she leaves a mark.
Today, we will tell you how Rekha sustains a luxurious lifestyle despite being away from films, along with details of her net worth, opulent home, and properties.
