Silsila and Faasle – both very important films in Rekha‘s career – are both Yash Chopra movies. So when she was recently awarded the Yash Chopra Memorial award, she spoke at great length about the man.
She said:
Talking about Yashji would be like ‘chota muh badi baat’… what can we say about him? I’d like to definitely state that he taught me how to love. Not just by watching his films (did) I understand ‘Oh, this is love’, not just by speaking or watching that there is beauty and a very tender emotion, but a feeling that is invisible which every person definitely feels it – that Yashji taught me.
She added:
I take this award as not just an award or a validation but I think it is something of a reminder to say that the curtains have not fallen yet but the best is still to come in the near future. And it will definitely be a reminder for me to do better than the best, better than ever before and this is not my last chapter but it is the best chapter, yet to begin.

Congratulations, Rekha! 🙂
