Rekha Denies Vinod Mehra Marriage, Recalls Mother's Cruel Insults
10 Oct
Summary
- Rekha denied marrying Vinod Mehra, despite persistent rumors.
- She recalled his mother calling her a 'badnaam actress'.
- Rekha's personal life remains a subject of intense public fascination.
Bollywood icon Rekha marked her 71st birthday on October 10, 2026, with her enduring charm and style captivating audiences. Her personal life, particularly rumored relationships, has consistently drawn public attention. Among these, speculation about a secret marriage to actor Vinod Mehra in 1973 has persisted.
Rekha has repeatedly refuted the marriage claims. In a past interview recalled in "Rekha: The Untold Story," she shared harsh words allegedly spoken by Vinod's mother, who reportedly called her a 'badnaam actress' due to her perceived reputation. This sheds light on the intense scrutiny Rekha faced early in her career.
During a 2004 appearance on Simi Garewal's show, Rekha reacted with surprise when the host mentioned her alleged 1973 marriage to Vinod Mehra. She firmly dismissed the notion, comparing it to other unsubstantiated rumors about her life. While she spoke warmly of Vinod as a close well-wisher, the public's curiosity remained unabated.
Vinod Mehra later married other women and passed away in 1990. Rekha married businessman Mukesh Agarwal in the same year, but tragically became a widow within months. She has not remarried since, though she continues to wear sindoor, describing it as a fashion choice that suits her iconic looks.
