Facts About Rekha's House, Properties & Sources Of Income
Today we will be talking about one of the great actresses of all times! She still manages to rule the hearts of millions. Yes, I am talking about Rekha Ji. This article is going to be all about her properties, house and source of income.
REKHA’S INCOME SOURCES:
1. Properties: Rekha and her family own some properties in Mumbai and down south and some of them have been put on rent. She gets her share of the rent.
2. Films: She gets paid handsomely even today, if she signs a film. Rekha does approximately one film a year.
3. Brand endorsement: Rekha doesn’t shoot for brand ads but she gets paid for her endorsements. Rekha endorses brands from time to time. Letting people use her face on billboards and/or just getting still photo-shoots done, is also endorsement. Interestingly, a few years ago, the Bihar government was after her to rope her in as the Brand Ambassador of Bihar.
4. Fixed Deposits: Rekha is a thrifty spender and she has been careful enough to save the money that she used to earn when she was at the peak of her career. Remember that she was the number one heroine in India for many years. She came from a very normal middle-class family and like any middle-class family she has invested a part of her income in bank deposits.
5. Thrifty spender: Money saved is money earned. Rekha has herself told me that she believes in the middle-class Indian values and doesn’t squander her money. So, you will never see Rekha wearing the latest designer clothes, buying the latest cars, going on expensive foreign tours or anything else that a heroine usually gorges on. Rekha doesn’t spend on anything else other than her personal needs.
6. Old and loyal staff: Her driver and her watchman have been with her for decades now. Her secretary Farzana lives with her and always follows her like a shadow. What I mean to say that she doesn’t spend much on maintaining an entourage as well. So, as you see, it’s the most basic expenses that she maintains.
7. Rajya Sabha Member: She’s paid and entitled to perks as Rajya Sabha member too. Her low attendance and high salary had generated quite a controversy in Delhi.
8. Gifts etc: Most of the sarees that she wears were gifted to her and some of them belong to her old collection. I am mentioning this again because most Bollywood heroines spend a fortune on their clothes. Rekha doesn’t need to.
9. Appearance money for TV shows: However there are shows on television programmes which do offer money for appearances. Rekha gets paid when she decides to appear at their programmes.
10. Ribbon cutting and other private events: When rich industrialists hold a public event, like say, launching their business ,they pay huge money to stars to do the honours. A star can easily run her kitchen with only these events. Stars are also paid to attend private ceremonies like birthday parties and marriages. Rekha is in huge demand because most industrialists have grown up watching her as an actress and idolise her.
So, as you can see, Rekha easily earns the required money that she needs. She is still a big brand and she has spent a lifetime to reach where she is today. God bless her always!
