The recent biography of the ageless Bollywood Diva Rekha has left many people in discomfort. The shocking reveal in the biography of Rekha written by Yaseer Usman, has thrown spotlight on the injustice faced by women, in the film industry. It is easy to be judgmental and spread rumors about a celebrity’s character but it takes a tough time for them to overcome those hurdles and reach heights insists the biography. 

The biography reveals a lot of disasters in her life and the first one sums it up all. The actress’ debut as a heroine in ‘Anjana Safar’ had terrified her with the disgusting act of her co-star Biswajeet and director Raja Nawathe. The then 15-year-old actress was held by Biswajeet and kissed forcefully for about five minutes as the camera was rolling. The crew was whistling and cheering and the director did not say ‘cut’ for almost 5 solid minutes. Rekha was the only one who did not know about such a scene and all she could do was break into tears helplessly.

Adding to that, this kiss made it to the Asian edition of the Life magazine and earned her the tag ‘sex kitten’. A 15-year-old girl, who was forced into the film industry in order to sustain her family’s financial situation, is pushed to face such painful circumstances revealed the biography. Why wasn’t this offense at that time? Why didn’t the media notice the ugly truth behind the scene that Rekha was forced into? It shocks to live in a world of heartless people like the director and actor who didn’t mind misusing the young girl for the sake of creating sensuality.

Here’s the snapshot of the incident from the biography.
