Deewar-o-dar ko gaur se pehchaan lijiye (You have to come here over and over, get familiar with these walls and doors). And I mean that.”She then urged the audience there to watch films, talking about how healing they are and adding, “You come to see this film every single day. Come to see films every single day. That’s the only soothing factor. There’s no potion, no healing material than films. I am a living example. I am alive because of films.”Says she’s not much of a talkerRekha also got candid about how she’s not much of a talker and said, “I am not much of a talker. Even in Umrao Jaan, the dialogues conveyed only half of what my eyes could see and express. Muzaffar (Aziz) Saab is right. I think one look is enough.”She also remembered her mother, Pushpavalli, and added, “As my mother always used to say, you don't talk about your achievements and feelings. You don't teach people by telling them what to do. You just live by example. You live your best life, and they can learn and evolve, especially what not to do.”Umrao Jaan is based on Mirza Hadi Ruswa's 1899 Urdu novel Umrao Jaan Ada. The film tells the story of a Lucknow tawaif (courtesan) and poet, and her rise to fame. It is considered one of the best films in Rekha’s career.
