Veteran actress Rekha often finds herself in the spotlight, not just for her talent or charming personality, but also due to her personal life. Amidst various controversies and rumours surrounding her romantic relationships, her connection with Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has remained a topic of discussion for years. However, another aspect of her life has come into the limelight recently. Her biography, Rekha: The Untold Story by Yasser Usman, published in 2016, has sparked fresh interest as it allegedly reveals Rekha’s live in relationship with her manager, Farzana.
Now, the author of the biography has finally addressed the ongoing rumours. He dismissed the claims through a tweet and wrote, “The quotes alleging a ‘live-in relationship’ ascribed to my book ‘Rekha The Untold Story’ are a complete fabrication, falsification and misrepresentation evidently intended to create sensationalism. I vehemently assert that the quotes mentioned in the media articles are entirely absent from my book.”
“Furthermore, throughout the entire manuscript, the phrases ‘live-in relationship’ or ‘hermetic existence’ or ‘the biography claiming the relationship is sexual’ have never been used. These incorrect quotes are a result of poor clickbait journalism and keep on resurfacing every few years. If these quotes attributed to me or my book ‘Rekha The Untold Story’ are not immediately rectified, we will not hesitate to pursue legal action against the publications responsible,” he added.
It's despicable how clickbait journalism has an aversion towards verifying facts. And most often they target women. A statement. pic.twitter.com/sYBCZxLsp9— ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? (@yasser_aks) July 22, 2023
Yasser Usman’s book portrays Farzana as a vital figure in Rekha’s life. The alleged excerpt claims that Farzana is a perfect partner for the veteran star and their bond is so strong that Rekha cannot imagine life without her. The book allegedly suggests that Farzana is the only person allowed inside Rekha’s bedroom, even her domestic help are denied entry.
According to an old interview with Yasser Usman, Farzana initially worked as an assistant on several films but later realized that it did not interest her. She then met Rekha and began her journey as her secretary-cum-manager.
Yasser Usman in Rekha’s biography revealed that her late husband, Mukesh Aggarwal battled depression and faced financial challenges, which had a significant impact on their marriage. Within months of tying the knot, their relationship turned sour. Eventually, in September 1990, Rekha and Mukesh decided to part ways.
Tragically, during one of Rekha’s tours, Mukesh took his own life on October 2, 1990. In the suicide note, Mukesh stated that he held no one accountable for his decision.
