Veteran actress Rekha enjoys a massive fan following. While the actress last appeared on screen in 2014, fans still go gaga over her appearances at events. The diva was recently spotted at the airport with her manager Farzana. However, she found herself at the receiving end of criticism after she pushed a fan who came close to her for a selfie.
Rekha pushes fan asking for selfie
The incident took place during Rekha's recent public appearance at the airport. The actress was seen wearing a beige top with a long black overcoat and loose pants. What caught our attention was that she was also seen sporting sindoor. Apart from this, she donned shades and opted for a messy bun. She generously smiled and waved to the paps stationed there.
While she was making her way inside, a fan came close to the actress and immediately took out her phone to capture the moment. However, the actor did not seem to be in a good mood and instead of obliging, she pushed the fan. Her manager Farzana was also seen pushing the fan.

As soon as the clip went viral, netizens started bashing Rekha and even compared her to Jaya Bachchan. A user wrote, “I feel bad for the woman… what was so difficult about spending a few seconds for someone who considers you their fan?” Another commented, “OMG, started acting like Jaya Bachchan,” while one wrote, “Isme bhi apni sautan ki aatma aa gayi kya.” Many also called her rude and disrespectful.
This is not the first time the actress has disrespected a fan. Even in August, her manager came under scrutiny after she pushed a fan.
