Rekha is grabbing a lot of headlines recently for her beautiful performance for the IIFA 2024. The veteran actress set the stage on fire by dancing to some of her iconic songs. Netizens are blown away by how the actress delivered such a wonderful set on dance at the age of 69. She has enamoured everyone with her striking act and stunning beauty at the award ceremony. Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar and Vicky Kaushal hosted the award show. When it comes to her journey in the film industry, Rekha has faced several challenges. While it is never easy for women to make it big in a male-dominated industry, the actress had to deal with a shocking incident at the age of 15. The Silsila actress once revealed that an actor allegedly forcefully kissed her while they were shooting a movie. She made the revelation in her biography titled Rekha: The Untold Story. The incident happened on the sets of her movie titled Do Shikaari (earlier titled Anjana Safar). Rekha revealed that while she was performing a romantic scene with superstar Biswajit, he allegedly kissed her without informing her about it. The actress, who was just 15 at that time, was shocked as even the film’s director, Kuljit Pal, didn’t stop it from happening and the shot went on. The Khoon Bhari Maang actress revealed that Biswajit allegedly kissed her for a long time. The actress was so shocked, she broke down on the sets. On the other hand, Biswajit denied the allegations later. The actor revealed that he performed the act upon the director’s instruction. The actor stated how the audience loved the scene. As reported by DNA, Rekha and Biswajit were praised for their performance in Do Shikaari. The movie, which was released in 1979, also stars Vinod Khanna and Amjad Khan in pivotal roles.
