Recently, Rekha in a rare interview with Vogue Arabia and featured on their cover. In her profile for Vogue, Rekha spoke about how the younger generation of actors are also aware of how she works. Even when her projects now are far and few between, she believed the new crop of actors appreciated her work ethic and the thought behind every creative endeavour she undertakes.
"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. It is also incredibly heartening to see how they resonate with me when so many of my colleagues have been long forgotten by this new generation. They recognize that the work I do now, very sparingly, is still done with a sense of great reverence for the craft, with gratitude, and absolute love," she said.
Having not accepted any acting role since 2014, Rekha said that she will only take up projects that satiate her soul. She also acknowledged that she has the luxury to turn roles down, she said she is a "joyful and fulfilled recluse" and will appear in public only when she is dictated by her "flow of instinct. I am so blessed to have earned the right to choose what I love. And to have the luxury to simply say no. This keeps my soul alert," she said.
