Rekha under Farzana's spell
Rekha flew down to Delhi on Tuesday to inaugurate good friend and former Miss India Naina Balsaver-Ahmed's new boutique of exquisite jewellery and designer outfits, N&M, which she has launched in collaboration with Mandira.
As the diva put in a brief half-hour appearance in a bursting-at-the-seams
shop in south Delhi, crowds went berserk trying to steal a close glimpse of this
ageless star.
Immaculately dressed in a black satin suit, Rekha smiled and did the honours
amidst a motley crowd of men, women and school girls. A round of applause later
when shutterbugs and mediamen went about clicking her, little did they realise
that the shots would be called by her secretary Farzana, a diminutive middle
aged woman who invariably dresses up in male attire.
An unselfconscious Rekha was willing to answer off-hand queries on beauty and body regimen when Farzana intervened with all her might to shoo away unwanted lensmen. A fixed gaze from her constant companion was enough to make Rekha squirm. Leaving her sentences unfinished, she dropped everything and rushed off to follow 'unspoken' orders from her trustworthy employee.
An articulate person, this lady, who virtually holds the key to the country's most 'desired lady,' could whisk her 'ma'm away within a matter of a few seconds.
It's perfectly understandable for a confidant to manage and control clients but where was the need to be at your secretary's beck and call, Rekha, disappearing half way through the launch? A socialite present aptly bitched later,"Who was whose secretary?"
