Rekha was madly in love with THIS actor, his wife allegedly caught them red-handed in a hotel room, then…, the actor is…
Rekha is an iconic figure in Indian cinema. Besides being a phenomenal actress, her irresistible charm is what drives audiences crazy. As glittering as her professional career was, her personal life at times has been as dramatic as her on-screen roles. Her rumoured relationships have massively dominated media headlines and is discussed widely among fans.
When Rekha grew close to this superstar behind the scenes?
One of the most intriguing rumour that caught everyone’s eye was her alleged relationship with Indian film legend Kamal Haasan. Reports suggest that while shooting for Yash Chopra’s Silsila, Rekha had also signed a Tamil film titled Meendum Kokila with Haasan and Sridevi in 1981.
The two allegedly developed a close bond during the shoot, which went unfamiliar by many at that time. However things escalated when Kamal’s then-wife, Vani Ganapathy, caught them red-handed together in a hotel room.
What journalist had to say?
According to Rediff’s report, a Tamil Journalist once talked about the matter concerning Haasan and Rekha. He had said, “In late 1979, I was working at the Hotel Chola Sheraton in Chennai. One night, when I reported for work, I found the place in a tizzy. As the girls in reception told the story, Kamal Haasan and Rekha Ganesan were in the latter’s room in the hotel when Kamal’s then-wife Vani Ganapathy landed up and gave her husband a public dressing down.”
Reports than soon emerged that Rekha was replaced by Malayalam actress Deepa in the project. However, neither Rekha nor Kamal has ever addressed this incident publicly, and it still remains unclear.
In 1988, Kamal Haasan officially ended his 10-year marriage with Vani Ganapathy. Their marriage began to face troubles after Kamal started working closely with actress Sarika. Eventually, reports came out that Sarika was pregnant with Kamal’s child. They have two daughters- Shruti Haasan and Akshara Haasan.
