With her acting in more than a hundred films, we bring you few in which she literally stole our hearts and breaths away.

Rekha as the fun, spirited and playful girl not only won over the entire Gupta family but, Rekha also won the Filmfare Best Actress Award.

Rekha, as the young courtesans in a brothel in Lucknow was awe worthy. The grace and poise with which she essayed the role is still praise worthy. For those who haven’t watched this film yet, do so else your missing on one of the best movies of Bollywood.

Silsila (1981)

In this drama, Rekha played the part of the heartbroken with perfection that our hearts too broke. The loss of losing her love and later being back with him was beautifully told, thanks to the awesome performance of Rekha.

This revenge drama saw Rekha come back post a crocodile attack and avenge her death as well as the torture inflicted on her children and dear one.

In this family drama, we saw Rekha play an illiterate village girl who manages to marry a rich boy and move to the city with him and win over all his family members. The ease with which she played Shalu is one the plus points of the film.

We wish a very happy birthday.
