REKHA'S ACHIEVEMENTS

1981 : Filmfare award of best actress for Khubsoorat.
National award for film Umaraojaan in year .
1989 : Filmfare award for best actress for Khoon Bhari Maang.
1997 : Filmfare award for best supporting actress for Khiladiyon Ke Khiladi.
1998 : The 1998 U.P. award for the best kathak dancer in Hindi films. Installed by the King of Kathak, Pandit Lachchu Maharaj, the ceremony also commemorated the maestro's 97th birth anniversary. So touched was our Rekha by the Maharaj's six-year-old Great-great-granddaughter presiding over the grand affair with such earnest dignity, that the actress, in a spontaneous gesture, handed her a trophy and a Rs. 51,000 cash-prize to the tiny tot herself! From the Renaissance Woman it was a feat of feet!
