Rekha
On
Premarital
Sex:
Veteran
actress
Rekha
is
one
of
the
most
celebrated
celebrities
in
the
film
industry.
Known
for
her
enduring
charm,
fashion,
and
impeccable
acting
skills,
Rekha
has
been
entertaining
and
inspiring
generations
after
generations.
The
actor
who
has
been
in
the
limelight
since
the
1960s
has
left
an
everlasting
mark
with
her
remarkable
performances
in
films
like
Silsila,
Umrao
Jaan,
Khoobsurat,
Khoon
Bhari
Maang,
Aastha,
and
more.
Bold
and
confident,
Rekha
has
never
hesitated
to
speak
her
mind
and
has
stirred
many
controversies
in
the
past
with
her
progressive
thoughts
on
life
and
relationships.
As
the
actress
turned
69
today,
October
10,
we
recall
the
diva's
old
interview
where
she
talked
boldly
about
premarital
sex.
Rekha
has
always
remained
ahead
of
her
time
and
has
often
been
perceived
as
a
bad
influence
on
society.
She
received
huge
flak
for
their
bold
statements
about
her
life's
decisions
and
views.
Not
shying
away
from
expressing
herself,
Rekha,
in
an
old
interview
with
a
leading
magazine
back
in
the
70s
had
talked
about
premarital
sex.
Going
candid
on
the
topic,
which
used
to
be
considered
taboo
back
then,
Rekha
called
it
a
natural
process.
Not
only
this,
the
Umrao
Jaan
actress
also
mentioned
that
women
cannot
come
close
to
a
man
unless
they
make
love
to
each
other.
Slamming
those
who
think
that
a
single
woman
should
have
sex
only
on
her
wedding
night,
she
stated:
"It's
very
natural.
And
all
those
prudes
who
say
that
a
single
woman
should
have
sex
only
on
her
suhaag
raat
are
talking
bull!"
"Sex
goes
with
love.
You
can't
come
close,
really
close,
to
a
man
without
making
love.
And
that's
the
only
time
when
a
man
and
a
woman
are
their
most
natural
self
when
they
are
in
their
birthday
suit," she
had
added.
Born
Bhanurekha
Ganesan
to
legendary
Tamil
actor
Gemini
Ganesan
and
Telugu
actress
Pushpavelli,
Rekha
is
one
who
will
be
remembered
for
her
evergreen
allure
and
boldness.
