I am so blessed to have earned the right to choose what I love. And to have the luxury to simply say no.”

During the interview, the veteran actor was also asked, ‘When you love someone or something so deeply, does the love disappear?’ In response, Rekha told the magazine, “No. Once the relationship is established, it is forever. Sometimes we may want more, and sometimes it’s just enough. This applies to my craft. I was born with an instinct for the perseverance of beauty. Sure, I was born to be an actor…But it is my insatiable quest for learning and my willingness to keep my eyes and heart open, absorbing beauty with positivity, not negativity, that gives me command over my craft. I feel like a newcomer every day. And I trust those who demonstrate commitment like I do.”
