Actress Rekha stays beautiful even at 70 years of age, how?
Rekha said, "Age as a number does not feature in my thoughts. Good genes help, and good thoughts help more. You become what you believe. Though I am no authority, I can only share what works for me. Practically, one should eat before 7.30 pm. And it's not only about what you eat but also how you eat its presentation, the portion, the right ambience, and even your frame of mind should complement what you do. Like when you have to eat a meal or do yoga and don't have enough time, don't rush into it, or else the results can be adverse. Drinks lots of water. Sleep in a comfortable, cosy, peaceful environment. love to your heart's content. Last, but not the least, pray with your soul."
Rekha said, "I don't believe anything superficial. I grew up in a traditional South indian environment, disciplined with old-world values and where love, respect, reverence and obedience were instilled in us from the very beginning. My mother used to give us oil bath and used green gram flour instead of soap. When we fell ill, natural remedies were given like neem ki chutney for stomach pain, powdered ginger for sore throat or chandan lape for skin breakouts.
Rekha was also asked about the 'ultimate beauty faux pas' when she said it was 'to fake it', adding 'nothing backfires like artificiality. The actor was also asked about 'the first beauty product she remembered'. She had said it was her mother's smile, adding, 'it was the first organic, natural ingredient that made her look and feel instantly beautiful, something that she still applies to date'.
