Bollywood Unsolved Mysteries - Part I


Stories from tinsel town always attract the common people, more so if the stories are related to the personal lives of the Bollywood stars. Although the paparazzi are always on their toes to give us all the updates and whereabouts of our favourite stars, there remain a few mysteries of the fraternity that are unsolved till date. Now, let us give you a glimpse into all such unsolved mysteries of Bollywood.

#1. Rekha’s Marriage

When Bollywood’s evergreen actress Rekha, was seen wearing sindoor on several award functions and occasions, it became a reason for much hue and cry among many people. While many criticised her for insulting the tradition and culture of India (Hindus), others believed that she had secretly married someone. In fact, the diva has been donningsindoor for quite a long time. This first came into notice when she was seen wearing sindoor at Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh’s wedding. Many related it to her affair with Amitabh Bachchan, which spread like a wildfire, but none of them came out in the open about it. After her marriage with Delhi-based industrialist Mukesh Aggarwal, who committed suicide a year after their marriage, Rekha has never officially declared remarrying anybody. This further made the sindoor a mystery.

Although the rumour mills churned the news of her marrying Vinod Mehra, she always declined its authenticity. Therefore, the mystery behind Rekha’s marriage and wearing sindoor remains unsolved. Rekha on her part, always justified wearing sindoor as a fashion statement.

She was just 23 when she left the world. This diva was a rising star of Bollywood in the 90s. While she was known for quite some famous movies, like Deewana and Shola Aur Shabnam, it was her song Saat samundar paar with which she rose to an unexpected success, which is a must-play song at every party till date. It was the fateful night of April 5, 1993, when Divya succumbed to her injuries after falling from a five-storey building.
