    5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my opinion about Rekha after reading this book
    Reviewed in India on January 2, 2020
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    I never knew about her wild past. I was familiar with her only from her times of being reclusive and reserved. Wow. How different she used to be.

    I've found this book excellent and bought it not only for Rekha's story, but to improve my writing skills. This author has such a beautiful and easy way of expressing himself. The book is very easy to read and engaging from beginning till the end.

    I was surprised to learn how Rekha would disregard *Spoiler* the fact that some of her interests were married. I think that's why she suffered so much in life... she wasn't able to understand that marriage is sacred and that we should not mess with married men.

    Also, she seems to disregard other kinds of agreements, like her filming timings, leading to more negative karma creation.

    I still love Rekha but wow, did I find much new information from this book. I think that the Indian readers already familiar with her won't find the book that eye-opening, but as a foreign person who was familiar with Bollywood only for several years I've found the book very much revealing.

    Great read however... I feel could have covered a lot more considering Rekha's reign in the industry. Also don't think it's worth £13.99.

    A lot of things were speculative and felt flat when the people involved decided to comment on them.

    It was wonderful to read about Rekha, as someone who watched very few movies of hers with not much context it was eye-opening to read this book.

    I feel she has carried herself with dignity and wit which was uncanny and made me want to pat her on the back and give her a hug because of what she has to go through in her life.
