Veteran actor Rekha:His journey in the film industry began under challenging circumstances. Starting to work at a young age, he moved to Mumbai with his mother during his teenage years in search of opportunities in cinema. At that time, she crossed paths with actor Sanjay Khan, although their first meeting did not immediately lead to work.Sanjay Khan’s son Farah Khan Ali revealed that Rekha recently recalled that memory while visiting the Khan family after the death of Farah’s mother. Zarine Khan. “My father launched Rekha,” said Farah in an interview with Vickey Lalwani, before recounting what the veteran actor told him.“Rekha came home recently, when my mom passed away. She said the only reason I watch movies is because of your mother,” Farah recalled. She explained that Sanjay Khan was initially reluctant to pose for a photoshoot with Rekha because he did not find her routine attractive at the time.Sharing Rekha’s own memory, Farah said, “Rekha said, ‘Because when I first arrived, I was too heavy and I wasn’t very attractive, and your father didn’t want to do a photo shoot with me. Your mother, Zarine, kept saying, ‘Look at this girl, look at her beautiful eyes and her beautiful mouth, please do a photo shoot with her.’ So your father reluctantly agreed to do the photo shoot with me and when the pictures came, he said, ‘Okay he looks good. Let’s do the picture’. That’s how I got into the film industry.”In the same conversation, Farah also talked about the late actor Parveen Babisaying that his father also introduced him to films. He noted that one of Parveen’s first projects was *Trimurti*, which featured Sanjay Khan.When asked if her family stayed in touch with Parveen during her mental health struggles, Farah replied, “Yes, I was in touch with her, my parents. I met her a few years before she passed. We were very close because … He was someone I remember from childhood and he was very loving and kind. My father was close to Kabir Bedi as well. And Pooja Bedi, of course, is one of my best friends now.
