Rekha Early Career:

Rekha’s entry into the film industry was almost serendipitous. The daughter of the renowned Tamil actor Gemini Ganesan and actress Pushpavalli, Rekha was exposed to the film world from an early age. Her debut came in 1966 with the Telugu film "Rangula Ratnam," directed by V. B. Rajendra Prasad. At the tender age of 12, she played a supporting role, which marked her initial foray into cinema. Her early experience in regional films provided her with foundational exposure, though it was her transition to Bollywood that defined her career trajectory.

Rekha’s Bollywood debut was marked by her role in the 1970 film "Sawan Bhadon," directed by Mohan Kumar. Despite the film's modest success, Rekha's performance caught the attention of audiences and critics. Her early roles were often characterised by a youthful exuberance, but they did not immediately catapult her to stardom.

The early 1970s were a period of struggle for Rekha as she faced the challenge of establishing herself in a competitive industry. She appeared in several films, but it was the 1976 film "Khubsoorat," directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, that marked a significant turning point. In "Khubsoorat," Rekha played the role of a vibrant and unconventional young woman, showcasing her comedic timing and versatility. The film was a critical and commercial success, and Rekha’s performance was widely acclaimed, setting the stage for her future success.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Rekha’s career took a defining turn with a series of successful films. Her performance in "Ghar" (1978), directed by Manik Chatterjee, was a notable highlight. In "Ghar," Rekha portrayed a woman who faces the trauma of rape and fights for justice, delivering a powerful and emotionally resonant performance. The film's success solidified Rekha's position as a leading actress in Bollywood.
