No cell phone for Rekha!

It is commonly believed that senior actors don’t use cell phones. An oft-cited example is Aamir Khan, who owned a mobile much later than others, shunning it when knee-deep in work. But times are changing.
Other old-timers are warming to mobiles while they’re still reluctant about sharing their numbers. One such example is Bollywood’s eternal diva — Rekha. Even her closest friends in the industry don’t have her number.Once, we were desperate to get in touch with Madam Re.
Her dear friend ‘Hemu’ (Hema Malini) advised us to call her on the landline and leave a message along with a number on voicemail. It did work. Rekha’s manager Farzana promptly called back without wasting a minute and handed over the phone to her boss. “I too don’t have Rekha’s number. I always leave behind a message and she calls me back,” said Hema with a chuckle.
