The definition of a film star is always changing, the definition of beauty is always changing. A new book, Rekha: The Untold Story by Yasser Usman, tells us all. It taps into that irresistible fancy of knowing the different aspects of a star as mythologized as Rekha. Rekha never got to cultivate hers in her early years—or, perhaps only fleetingly, with some excellent roles in films by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Gulzar. Usman writes in the introductory author’s note that despite repeated attempts through her secretary Farzana, he could not interview Rekha.
