Rekha is considered to be one of the greatest Bollywood actresses of all time. At a tender age, Rekha began acting in the Hindi films because she had experienced many hardships during her early days; she never dreamt of becoming an actress though circumstances and pressure made her take up this profession.
Rekha appeared in movies and mesmerized lots of people. Up to today, Rekha has quite a number of fans. She still outperforms present heroines in terms of beauty though she is 69 years old. Her real name is Bhanurekha Ganesan but became popular as Rekha.
Rekha acted in over 180 films throughout her career, garnering numerous accolades such as a National Award and Padma Shri. Despite the fact that she has not appeared in films over the past 10 years, each time that she is seen in public, it leaves an indelible impression. Today we will reveal how Rekha manages to live a lavish life without acting anymore, her net worth and expensive house among others.
Rekha, who might be the name unfamiliar to some, owns multiple realties in Mumbai as well as South India. Several of them are let out for rent and so by so doing, Rekha gets lakhs of rupees per month. She resides in Bandstand region in Mumbai. Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan are her neighbours. People say that ‘Basera’ bungalow, owned by Rekha costs 100 crores rupees approximately. It is reported that she has a total net worth which exceeds 332 crores Rupees.
Rekha, alongside earning through other means such as movies, also makes a substantial amount from brand endorsements which occasionally sees her promoting and advertising for some TV serials at a fee believed to be good. Rekha is said to ask for between 10 to 20 lakhs when her photos are put on billboards. Media reports indicate that Rekha also has some fixed deposits which she opened while at the peak of her career and lived treacherously saving and channelling her income into FDs rather than insatiately expending it. She would therefore put most of her money into bank deposits.
She does not always wear the latest designer brands; neither does she splurge on clothes – in fact, most of the silk sarees she puts on are gifts. She travels without a long staff so as to avoid unnecessary expense. With her in fact is just one secretary not more than one named Farzana, and another executive who has been driving her for over twenty years now. At the time Reka was an MP and a Rajya Sabha member, she received fifty months either as alimony or eighty-five million rupees annually. Whenever she goes to a function or gathering, there are still huge sums of money received as fees.
