She had been on holiday with her sister, so when we caught up in Plymouth I was a bit worried that I might not recognise her. So before she picked me up at the station, I asked her what type of car she was driving. On our first date we went to Totnes, a market town in Devon. We lived separately for about two years.
We spent time getting to know each other. We married in and now live in a little village on the outskirts of Plymouth with chickens, dogs and cats. In late I applied to be a volunteer at the Olympics in Athens. I had been living in the UK, so went over for the job. I was placed in the shooting centre, even though I had applied for the media village. However, this turned out to be a stroke of luck because it led to me meeting my future husband, Dimitris. He was the overall supervisor of the venue. Our first meeting was a bit of a disaster.
I had taken the train rather than the bus, which got me to my first training day about an hour late.

I was introduced to Dimitris, who was sitting at a table with the other volunteers having lunch. Later that day, he invited all his volunteers on a tour of downtown Athens. We all assembled at the fountain in Syntagma square. When I saw him again, I realised there was something between us. I was quite shy around men, which meant I sometimes appeared aloof or rude. That night, we were all talking about our lives, and Dimitris was so refreshingly forthright.
I glumly returned to the UK after my volunteering stint. Dimitris and I stayed in touch, and over the weeks, once the Olympics were finished, we spent more time talking online. He called me then, and we declared our feelings for one another. We got together as a couple from a distance, and then Dimitris came to visit me that September and we decided to make a go of it, thinking that one of us would eventually move for the other.
Since he had no interest in moving to the UK, it was me who ended up in Greece. We got married, and we now have two kids. He later told me that when he was compiling his volunteer list for the venue, he stole volunteers from other venue lists since so few people had applied to volunteer at the shooting centre.

When Getting Back Together With Your Ex Is the Best Decision You Ever Made
How can so many good qualities be bestowed upon one human being? Not fair," said Rekha. Duh, that's a dumb question! Did Rekha fall in love with Amitabh in the process of working together? I'm yet to come across a man, woman, child, who can't help but fall completely, passionately, insanely, desperately and especially, hopelessly, in love with him. So why should I be singled out? There was never a personal connection with him. What do I deny? I'm not in love with him? Of course I am.

In that interview, however, Rekha spoke at length about Jaya Bachchan's reaction to her relationship with Amitabh. She said, "At an award function some time ago, I'd recited a few lines. Everyone imagined they were meant for him. But actually, it was for her.
I looked at you, you turned your face away. You feel you are badly off, but can't you see my position is worse? There is deep hurt in your gaze, but can't you see that the wounds in my heart are deeper than your look? Rekha bagged overnight success with her debut vehicle "Sawan Bhadon" and gradually became India's sex symbol. Talking to Simi Garewal about her initial days in Bollywood, Rekha said: It was one of the most frightening phases of my life I was totally ignorant of the ways of this new world.
Guys did try and take advantage of my vulnerability. Having acted in more than films, she made her presence felt with her versatility and different avatars in films like "Do Anjaane" , "Ghar" , "Muqaddar Ka Sikander" , "Khubsoorat" , "Silsila" , "Baseraa" , "Utsav" , "Khoon Bhari Maang" , "Ijaazat" , "Kama Sutra" and "Zubeidaa" to name a few. Last seen in a special appearance in "Yamla Pagla Deewana: Phir Se", industry insiders have often spoken of Rekha as a "capable, disciplined actress with immense range, ability and mastery of precise detail".

As an artist she was first noticed in 'Ghar' and after that she was no more termed as only a voluptuous artist in Hindi cinema because then came films like 'Khubsoorat' and 'Umrao Jaan' that set her apart," said film historian Gautam Kaul. She only moves in a small circle of senior film people and she shuns the media. That's also because she is a tragic figure with failed relationships The only place she is now noticed is award functions, which are also picked and chosen.
But she still doesn't give any interviews," he added. In fact, the term diva in India was coined for Rekha. The way she has metamorphosed herself from what she was when she came into the industry is mind blowing
