One Twitter user wrote: "She's an epitome of beauty, elegance. Her acting made everyone laugh, cry, and her dance make as crazy. The Ageing Diva. She has class. She sets a wonderful example for girls, while another wrote: "Inspiration and idol of every woman in general. Every actress wants to touch you in acting, beauty, appearances and expression. Every female actors' role model."
Rekha entered showbiz as a child artist in the 1966 Telugu film Rangula Ratnama. She went on to do projects such as Namak Haraam, Nagin, Jaani Dushman, Mr. Natwarlal, Silsila, Ijaazat, Umrao Jaan, Khoon Bhari Maang, Zubeidaa, Bhoot, and Koi... Mil Gaya. There's an enigmatic, beautiful and reserved aura around her personality. When not working, she fiercely guards her personal life. Her love life has always under scrutiny, but she has never addressed it openly.
Over the years, she has also got tag of Bollywood's style icon, backed by her signature Kanjeevaram saris.
