Bollywood icon Rekha’s new biography has surfaced, alleging some pretty shocking details about the actress’s personal life. According to reports, the book claims that Rekha had a “live-in relationship” with her female secretary, Farzana. Now the author of the biography, Yasser Usman, has reacted to fake rumours and has warned against publications misleading his words from the book titled Rekha: The Untold Story, published in 2016.
He took to his Twitter handle and shared a long note clarifying that the phrases ‘live-in relationship’ or ‘hermetic existence’ or ‘the biography claiming the relationship is sexual’ have never been used.
He wrote, “The quotes alleging a live-in relationship’ ascribed to my book ‘Rekha The Untold Story’ are a complete fabrication, falsification and misrepresentation evidently intended to create sensationalism. I vehemently assert that the quotes mentioned in the media articles absent entirely from my book. Furthermore, throughout the entire manuscript, the phrases ‘live-in relationship’ or ‘hermetic existence’ or ‘the biography claiming the relationship is sexual’ have never been used.
It's despicable how clickbait journalism has an aversion towards verifying facts. And most often they target women.

He further added, “These incorrect quotes are a result of poor clickbait journalism and keep on resurfacing every few years. If these quotes attributed to me or my book ‘Rekha The Untold Story’ are not immediately rectified, we will not hesitate to pursue legal action against the publications responsible.”
