In Simi Grewal’s show, when Rekha was asked what ‘Bhanurekha’ wanted to do. Said, not an actor at all. I wanted to get married and settle down. Don’t know why but I wanted.

Rekha said on many occasions that she was never able to express her feelings openly. Couldn’t express what she thinks. Rekha is still challenging herself. His nonstop performance for 24-25 minutes at IIFA Awards 2024 is an example of this. In which there was style and tremendous dancing too.
