OG Raakhee shade: Rekha refuses to retort

OG Raakhee shade: Rekha refuses to retort. 

There are innumerable interviews in film magazines from Raakhee Gulzar that are quotable gems. Fearless, Raakhee was every interviewer's delight, with no qualms on letting loose with her firmly established opinions. 

She was gorgeous, witty, gifted - and uncensored. 

Now, every star panders and remains tight lipped. The fun in film rags have long gone.

Rekha: Camp Bollywood Icon: Drag inspo for several queens

Rekha: Camp Bollywood Icon: Drag inspo for several queens 

The over the top makeup, accessories, costumes, glitz, chintz, sequins... I mean... 

The funny thing is, the simpler her look, the more gorgeous Rekha looks her her laser sharp iconic beauty and makeup skills... 

Feel a certain Joan Collins, Elizabeth Taylor, Cher, 80s Western makeup, costume trend, fad infected her sense of movie-star self. That the screen Queen had to always look like an exaggerated version of a leading lady, she amped up the volume to such an extent, the normal woman in her got buried. 

Rekha was just as stunning playing the housewife, as she was as a courtesan. But her love for makeup artistry took over big time. 

We stan for Re'. Till date.
