Rekha Scrapped an Interview After It Was Done, I Was Speechless,’ Says Rajeev Masand: ‘She Said I Don’t Want To…’

Veteran actress Rekha, celebrated for her powerful performances and timeless style, is known to rarely give interviews. Former journalist Rajeev Masand recently shared an intriguing experience with the legendary actress, revealing how she once scrapped an interview after it was completed.

In an interview with the YouTube channel Shaardulogy, Rajeev Masand recounted, “We did an interview with Rekha ji a couple of years ago. The whole interview was done and then she is like, ‘I don’t want to do this, can we scrap it?’ I was speechless. First of all, she rarely gives interviews. She did a few with me. One we did many years ago and one a couple of years ago. The interview is just lying there; she said we will do it again. These are the people who are in the pursuit of perfection and excellence.”

Defending Rekha's decision, Masand added, “In Rekha Ji’s case, she is someone who comes out rarely. If you are not liking the way you are looking or sounding, I understand you want to be in control. They are all in the pursuit of perfection.”

Recently, Rekha was spotted at the wedding reception of Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, where an emotional moment was captured. In a video shared by Sonakshi, the bride can be heard comforting Rekha, saying, “Rona mat,” as the actress met her and welled up.

On the professional front, Rekha was last seen in a cameo role in the film "Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se." Her last significant feature film appearance was a decade ago in "Super Nani," where she played the role of Bharti Bhatia.
