For the unversed, Rekha is the daughter of the famous South Indian actors, Gemini Ganesan and Pushpavalli. On October 10, 1954, Rekha was born to her celebrity parents in Madras when the couple wasn’t married. Until the mid-1970s, Rekha always refrained from answering questions about her family background. As per reports, she wasn’t on good terms with her father, Gemini, as he did not accept Rekha as his daughter in public.
