Rare Pic: Rekha on the sets of Silsila

Rekha, age 26. On the sets of the film Silsila (1981).

There's a perfection to Rekha's entire head to toe look in the movie that's never been replicated. Even by herself. Along with fame and superstardom, sadly, Re' lost her sense of understated style. By the time she reached her zenith of Khoon Bhari Maang or the nadir of Madame X, she'd lost the plot when it came to makeup, fashion, turbans, gloss...  Like her successor Aishwarya Rai, the less Rekha did, the better she looked. But surrounded by enablers and yes-men (well, women), no one edited Rekha. Except for Yash Chopra - which is probably why looked best in his films.

This is one of her more stunning shoots post-baby. Gosh she looks divine.

Aishwarya Rai looking divine... in the awful film Umrao Jaan

The original is nearly faultless, so why try to update on a classic? The machinations of Bollywood are beyond comprehension. Though the film was torturously long and languid, at least Ash looked perfect in every frame, danced well (in some songs) and ended up marrying the lead of the film in between takes!
