Subhash K Jha (DNA; November 4, 2014)

Rekha has always been something of a mystery to her many admirers, never comfortable being on TV. But she did appear on several TV shows to promote her film Super Nani, which released last week. And now, post her many TV appearances, the question crops up again: Is she open to TV shows?

The diva has never interacted with the media like this before. "They actually gave me a list of about 30 interviews that I was supposed to do. From these I chose a few. I spoke from my heart and left the rest to God," she says. She isn't sure if she'd do the same media interaction again, but what she will do is her own television show. "Yes, I am now looking seriously at doing my show. I've been toying with the idea for ten years. But now it's happening seriously. At the moment all I can tell you is that my TV show would be a reflection of my own personality. The only problem is the language. I am not as fluent in Hindi as I'd like to be. I think in English."

Tell her that it would need to meet the Big B's Kaun Banega Crorepati benchmark of success and she shoots back, "That's a tall order. Even if I can draw up a creative stool and reach to that height, I'd consider myself lucky."

A BOOK, TOO?
Rekha also plans tell her own story in book form. "Yes, I've been writing down my thoughts. Not a memoir or autobiography. Just random jottings on life. I also do a lot of sher-o-shayari and these reflect my inner thoughts."
