Rekha says Yash Chopra taught her how to love

Veteran actress, Rekha has credited the late legendary filmmaker, Yash Chopra for teaching her how to love and inspiration to write poetry.

The actress, who recently won the Yash Chopra Memorial Award said, “Talking about Yashji would be like ‘chota muh badi baat’… what can we say about him? I’d like to definitely state that he taught me how to love. Not just by watching his films (did) I understand ‘Oh, this is love’, not just by speaking or watching that there is beauty and a very tender emotion, but a feeling that is invisible which every person definitely feels it – that Yashji taught me.”

She added, “I’ve always maintained that it’s more important for me to give than to receive. I guess I gave my share of the only thing I know of, that is love. I take this award as not just an award or a validation but I think it is something of a reminder to say that the curtains have not fallen yet but the best is still to come in the near future. And it will definitely be a reminder for me to do better than the best, better than ever before and this is not my last chapter but it is the best chapter, yet to begin.”
