Rekha's Early Life and Career Shaped by Absent Father
Rekha, a famous actress, started acting because her family needed money after her dad left when she was a baby.
She didn't grow up with him, but her mom told her lovely stories about him.
Rekha saw her dad as a romantic figure from her mom's stories and films.
She didn't really feel like she had a father around and never felt he noticed her at all.
