Rekha: The Untold Story
2016 Indian biographical book by Yasser Usman
Rekha: The Untold Story is a 2016 Indian biographical book by Yasser Usman, detailing the life of Indian film actress Rekha. The book chronicles her birth to South Indian actors Gemini Ganesan and Pushpavalli, which generated rumors in the media at the time, her well-publicised marriage to Delhi-based industrialist Mukesh Agarwal, who died by suicide in seventh months of marriage, and her fifty-year-long acting career.
After the success of his first book, Rajesh Khanna: The Untold Story of India's First Superstar (2014), Usman was motivated to write a biography about Rekha. He collected archives of pre-2000s magazines and her interviews at the National Film Archive of India. While writing the book, Usman faced difficulties since mostly Rekha's collaborator forgot or refused to talk about her; it took more than a year for him to finish it. Rekha: The Untold Story was released on 29 August 2016 by Juggernaut Books, and was critically praised.

Rekha Mandagere
Freshness of love made me lively
To give up the life of solitude boldly
Year after year we loved happily
Hand in hand ever walked closely
...
Sweet words shower heavenly happiness
Bitter words can only fill our heart, sadness
If Great words inspire you towards boldness
Ungrateful words merely spread soul's sickness
...
Look at the glowing golden Sun
Brightens up the world with radiant beam
Never stops his shine even for fun
Ever stands as a leader of the team
...
Time and tide waits for none
But I have waited all alone for one
It is none other than my ideal son
At last my time has begun!
...
The seven wonders dropped from the heaven
Are all spread across the bed of land and ocean
Perplexes the integrity of wise men to approach
Great soldiers are ever ready to make their bold march
...
Favourite haunt of Gods, a haven for all
Hindus, Muslims, Christians dwell
Also Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Sikhs
Mother of myths and various legends
...
On the stream of life
May the boat of radiant smiles sail
In the depths of the tuneful mi

The Best Poem Of Rekha Navneet
Unlearn, Relearn And Realize
Unlearn, Relearn and Realize
Hope we have unlearnt…
To meddle with the nature and the biotic
And unlearnt…
sustaining environment only with a rhetoric
Hope we have unlearnt…
The dominance of professional domain over personal space
And also unlearnt…
The Preference of the virtual to the inter-personal
Also unlearnt…
The dominance of the reel over the real
Hope we have unlearnt…
That the pernicious and the vicious
Can subvert the innocuous and the virtuous
Hope we have re-learnt…
That Life throws challenges like the Pandemics
And makes us unlearn, re-learn and realize…
That Cheating and vile
don't really make for a meaningful life
Hope we have re-learnt…
the modes of living healthy and wise
co-relate with thinking right and feeling fine
Hope we have realized…
That even phases of lockdowns and quarantine
can be the enablers to gain
an insight into learning, un-learning and re-learning
-Rekha Navneet
