Rekha is being featured in the latest edition of Vogue Arabia.

She also spoke extensively with the publication, on everything from her legendary career and what she’s been up to lately.

The cover and interview constitute a very rare media appearance for the 69-year-old star, who has chosen to stay out of the public limelight for the past couple of decades.

At a particular point in the interview, she said “many of my colleagues have been long forgotten by this new generation.”

At the same time however, she is impressed by the upcoming generation of actors: “Today there is an avalanche of young talent with extraordinary skills and I am thoroughly impressed by their debut performances. And it gives me great pleasure that I am here to witness their rise.”
