The captivating enigmatic Rekha may not be seen on screen these days. But she is pursuing her secret passion…no, not what you think…Rekhaji is heavily into singing and the whole industry is talking about it. Apparently Rekha randomly rings up her people in the industry and hold your breath sings for them!
“And she’s very very good at it!” a young female star tells me. “I was very surprised when Rekhaji called me. I know she’s very warm whenever we meet. But we meet very rarely, at awards functions and since award functions are not happening at all, I haven’t met her for quite some time. It was therefore a big surprise when I received a call from THE Rekhaji and an even bigger honour when she sang an ENTIRE song for me. And so beautifully.”

Nah, no New Year greetings from me to you. There is little to celebrate. Nothing much to look forward to. Nothing to talk about, except the gloom spreading out.
Coronavirus is just one aspect. The political scenario is another of those worrying aspects. There are offshoots taking off. One of the absolutely worrying offshoots is fake news. It is nothing but poison. With the godi media spreading out its fangs, it’s time to counter the sheer propaganda.
In fact, the farmers collective sitting unmoving at the Delhi borders have already started publishing a newsletter or one could call it a small-sized newspaper The Trolley Times focusing only on facts and more facts, and with that countering the fake news.
