The article does not discuss about her foreign films.Holywarrior 11:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Rekha's "death" is just some Internet hoax. I live in India and till today (Aug 11) I haven't heard anything about it in any of the major newspapers or TV channels. And except for the link in the article, I can't seem to find anything about her "death" on the Internet either.

---

I think you're right about the incorrect death news. I did some research: EInsiders found the death story at Newindpress.com, which is based in India. The original story from August 8, 2005, seems to have been retracted. This is what the original text read:

            "Film actress dies as jeep overturns; Monday August 8 2005 13:24 IST 

VISAKHAPATNAM: A film actress and driver of the jeep died while four members of a film crew were injured after their jeep overturned between M Koduru and V Madugula here on Sunday.

According to the police, a seven-member film crew was returning from Paderu in a jeep after shooting for the film ?Vajrala Veta?, when the jeep overturned between M Koduru and V Madugula.

While the jeep driver died on the spot, actress Rekha succumbed to injuries on her way to hospital.

The others escaped with minor injures and were admitted in Narsipatnam hospital."

I have also been unable to find anything else about this story on the internet, and it's been several days. It's safe to say it is false.

Rekha is a common name in Andhra Pradesh and close to 200 movies are made in Tollywood. So, while this may not be a hoax, the links are definitely not about the subject of this article. --Gurubrahma 07:34, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rekha's Child

It is also alleged that she has fostered an illegitimate child with Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan---- I have removed this sentence .Plz quote source for inclusion.Holywarrior 16:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cat?

I removed the reference to a cat. A relationship with a pet does not constitute a "relationship" in the context of human affairs. Ekantik 02:51, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Full filmography

Perhaps some effort should be made to include a full filmography. Based on discussions at parent projects, including a "selected" filmography brings up POV concerns (who decides which film to select?), so it would be a good idea to fleshen it out with a full list. With a nice table of course. Ekantik ^talk 01:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

That was my request to Wikipedia:RM

Rekha Ganesan → Rekha — This article has been known as Rekha and everybody knows this actress as Rekha. Someone decided to use her full name, while she is known as Rekha everywhere; Her stage name is only Rekha; She is credited as Rekha in every single film without exceptions; IMDb.com names her as Rekha, as well as every other reliable and unreliable site does. Even here on wikipedia, all the other articles related to her somehow, name her as Rekha. Please redirect her name. Her full name can be used in the introduction. Let's take Shakira for example. We can't move her page to Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll just because it's her real name. Her stage name is Shakira, and that's how it should be here. No-one prefers Rekha Ganesan over Rekha. It wasn't an established editor who moved the page earlier. It was a new editor, who is absent from Wikipedia now. Thanks, best regards

Please, discuss and add opinions. Thank you, --Shahid • ^Talk2me 12:09, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

• I think that is the best option... just like we have Madonna (entertainer), not Madonna Louise Ciccone Ritchie. gren グレン 20:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
