Rekha Bharadwaj, wife of Vishal Bharadwaj shared why she embraced on the path of spirituality and became devoted to the teachings of Osho.
Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj's wife, Rekha Bhardwaj was born in a family where music was worshipped in Delhi. She has been one of the most iconic voices in Hindi cinema music and is also a national award winner. Rekha started singing when she was three and has stirred generations with her voice that has layers of pain, freedom, and unspoken feelings standing the ornament of time. Rekha's voice is liberating but despite the same, she has gone on a spiritual path and has found solace in Osho.
Rekha has four more sisters and a brother and everyone is into singing. Her dad used to organise functions where she and her siblings used to sing for their family and friends full night. Recently, in an interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Rekha shared the reason why she found peace in Osho. She told Shubhankar that even Vinod Khanna when he was at the peak of his career left everything to gravitate to Osho. She said that one seeks answers even if nothing bad happens in their life. When asked what made her get into the path of spirituality, Rekha shared that she was feeling chaotic despite everything going well in her life. In her words:
"I was known as Vishal Bhardwaj’s wife, and I wasn’t sure about my personal identity. There was a longing for music, and I reached that phase, but then, there is always something else that you are looking for, right?”
Rekha, going ahead in the interview shared that someone could be sad even after seeing the perfect sunset. She shared that one may have the perfect life and may look at the sunset with the loved one but still, a feeling of emptiness would engulf the mind. She said that one's thoughts can make one sad, as she quipped:
"It can make you unhappy. So, there is something that affects you on a different level because no journey is the same. I learnt what ego is, and how easy it is to hold in jealousy, and blame others for our own issues.”
Rekha also frankly admitted that all the chaos that was filled in the mind was caused by thoughts that were coming and going. She shared that the more she understood her thoughts, the better she got about who she was and what she wanted from life. Rekha added that connecting with one's self is important in life and one should know to enjoy life to the fullest. Rekha admitted:
"It taught me to deal with my own inner chaos. I learnt how confused I was, and I could come to terms with my hatred, my jealousy, etc. When you find peace in your journey, it will reflect in the music, and it is bound to touch other people too.”
