So, today on her birthday, let us tell you some interesting stories related to her life...

- Rekha was embroiled in controversy as much as she achieved success in her career. Rekha was embroiled in controversy right from her birth. Because Rekha's mother Pushpavalli had become an unwed mother. Pushpavalli used to be a famous actress of South Indian films. Rekha's father Gemini Ganesan was a South Indian superstar. Gemini had relationships with many other women.

Rekha's parents never got married

- Gemini never married Pushpavalli. After the birth of Rekha, Pushpavalli and Gemini had two more children. This has been mentioned in Rekha's autobiography 'Rekha the Untold Story'. Gemini was already married, so he never left his first wife. After becoming a mother, Pushpavalli's career also ended.

- Rekha hated her father Gemini a lot. Even when her father died, she did not go to see him for the last time. To support her family, Rekha left her studies at the age of 13. Rekha herself said in Simi Grewal's chat show that her mother Pushpavalli forced her to leave her studies. She wanted Rekha to support her family financially by acting. That's why she did her first film at the age of 14.

It is said that Kamla knew about Rekha's past that she is the unmarried daughter of Pushpavati. That is why Kamla did not allow Rekha to enter the house. However, Rekha has denied this.

- After breaking up with Vinod Mehra, Jeevan's son and famous character actor Kiran Kumar came into Rekha's life. But, Jeevan did not approve of Kiran's relationship with Rekha. In such a situation, Kiran also left Rekha. This relationship of Rekha also ended.
