Actress Rekha Faces Backlash:
Veteran Bollywood actress Rekha has once again become the center of social media discussion after a video of her refusing a selfie request at an airport went viral. The incident happened on Tuesday morning when Rekha was walking quickly toward her car after landing.
A female fan approached her politely and asked for a selfie. The fan even turned on her camera and moved closer to Rekha to capture the moment. Rekha did smile slightly, but at the same time, she pushed the fan’s hand away firmly and continued walking toward her vehicle without stopping for the picture. This moment was recorded and soon spread rapidly across social media platforms.
Many netizens were surprised and unhappy with Rekha’s behavior. Some people compared the incident with a similar reaction by Jaya Bachchan in the past, where she lost her temper during a public interaction. Several users questioned why Rekha could not spare a few seconds for a fan who approached her with genuine excitement.
What made the situation more sensitive was the fact that the fan involved was also a woman. Social media users felt that Rekha’s behavior toward a fellow woman fan was harsh and unnecessary. Many asked whether stardom gives celebrities the right to treat fans this way.
Interestingly, people also recalled an old incident from two years ago that showed a very different side of Rekha. During an event, a young male fan suddenly approached her for a selfie. At that time, Rekha reacted positively, took the selfie, and even playfully tapped the fan on his cheek, making him extremely happy. The old incident is now being shared again online to highlight the contrast in her behavior.
Because of this sharp difference, many netizens are calling the recent incident “Rekha 2.0” and criticizing her attitude. They are questioning why her response changes based on who approaches her.
As the video continues to trend, opinions remain divided. While some people defend Rekha and say celebrities need personal space, many others feel that fans deserve a little kindness and respect.
