As an ardent fan of Bollywood, I find myself deeply moved by the heartwarming bond between the timeless diva Rekha and the captivating Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Their relationship is not just a bond between two actresses but a testament to the power of admiration, respect, and mentorship.
On October 10th, iconic Bollywood star Rekha turns 70 years old, and her unique bond with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is particularly noteworthy. This special connection is beautifully illustrated in a touching letter that Rekha penned to celebrate Aishwarya’s 20 years in the film industry. In this heartfelt missive, Rekha affectionately called herself “Rekha Ma,” and expressed her admiration by writing a thoughtful message: “The most insightful thing you have done is being mindfully present with gratitude for the ‘present.’
Rekha wrote the letter during the celebration of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s 20-year milestone in the film industry. This heartfelt correspondence was later featured in a special interview by Femina magazine. In the letter, Rekha affectionately recalled their initial encounter and admired Aishwarya’s career progression, referring to her as ‘My Ash’. She expressed her appreciation for Aishwarya’s indomitable spirit, likening it to a flowing river—always in motion, moving with elegance, ultimately reaching its destination while remaining true to itself, without artifice.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but gush about the profound impact Aishwarya has on me. You see, there are moments in life when words and actions fade away, but the feelings they evoke remain etched in our hearts forever. That’s exactly what Aishwarya does – she embodies courage so deeply that it resonates within us, a testament to her indomitable spirit.
I deeply admire Aishwarya for her wisdom in fully appreciating the present moment with gratitude, and I find myself reflecting on this: “There’s an undeniable wisdom in being completely present with gratitude. You’ve followed your passions diligently, and as a result, you shine so brightly that it’s impossible not to be captivated by your performance!
Pondering on Aishwarya’s incredible transition from being crowned Miss World 1994, to dominating Bollywood and becoming a mother, Rekha admired the distance she had traveled. She compared Aishwarya to a phoenix, overcoming obstacles, and expressed her immense pride for the ‘cool girl with a moon-like face’ who left her awestruck from their very first encounter.
Rekha admired the fact that she never failed to surpass expectations in every role she played, but the role that held the most value for her was when she portrayed a flawless mother to Aaradhya, her ‘precious bundle of pure happiness’. Rekha encouraged her to continue spreading love and enchantment and marveled at her two-decade-long career, offering her countless blessings and more goodness than her heart could contain.
In her letter, Rekha closed with a loving sentiment, “Love you. Stay well,” before signing off as “Rekha Ma,” symbolizing the strong bond and maternal love she has for Aishwarya. Rekha’s letter to Aishwarya was a touching gesture, a beautiful tribute from one esteemed actress to another—an homage from the icon to the starlet.
Legendary actress Rekha, a timeless symbol in the world of Indian cinema, has formed deep connections with today’s stars while preserving her legendary reputation. With more than 180 films under her belt, Rekha is widely respected as one of the industry’s greatest talents. Renowned for her incredible adaptability, she has effortlessly moved between diverse roles, leaving a lasting impact whether portraying strong or intricate characters. Some of her most memorable films include Kalyug, Vijeta, Utsav, Umrao Jaan, Khoon Bhari Maang, Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi, and Dharma.
Initially, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan garnered global attention when she was crowned Miss World 1994. Later, at the age of 23, she stepped into the world of cinema with Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar, which premiered on January 14, 1997.
