#BirthdaySpecial: TV actresses who can play Rekha's iconic roles

Bollywood’s ultimate glamour queen celebrates her birthday today (10 October). From her first film Sawan Bhado, to her latest Shamitabh, she continues to impress us till date. As the stunner performer turns a year older, we at Tellychakkar.com thought of few small screen beauties who can recreate the magic of Rekha’s legendary characters.

Here, have a look at the list.

Kratika Sengar in Umrao Jaan

It is not everyone’s cup of tea to don the character of the Lucknow courtesan Amrin. Grace and subtlety are two qualities that are much needed for the role. And Kratika, for sure posses both of them, hence, she is obvious and the first choice to play the protagonist Umrao Jaan.

Divyanka Tripathi in Silsila

We have seen Divyanka essaying tender avatars in her shows. Considering her looks and charm, we could not come up with any other name, who can play the character of Chandni in Yash Chopra’s classic.

Sriti Jha in Khoon Bhari Maang

Much like Rekha’s role in Khoon Bhari Maang, even Sriti’s character in her daily recently witnessed a transformation from soft, na?ve woman to a strong, independent lady. Keeping in mind what a brilliant performer she is, we cannot have any doubt that she will do complete justice to the role.

Drashti Dhami in Khubsoorat

Remember Rekha in Khubsoorat? The chirpy and bubbly Manju knew the magic to win anyone and everyone’s heart with her charm. Going by the roles that Drashti has portrayed till date, all our readers will for sure agree that she is the best to bring Manju back to life.

Kritika Kamra in Mr. Natwarlal

From essaying a street smart journo to an aspiring singer from a small town, who dreams to make it big, Kritika has done all her roles with élan. With a wonderful screen presence and glamourous personality, Kritika can surely give this movie her own spin.

Paridhi Sharma in Muqaddar Ka Sikandar

Rekha’s intense performance as Zohra Bai in Muquaddar Ka Sikandar, set her apart from all other actresses of her time. After watching Paridhi’s intense performance in Jodha Akbar, she surely seems a perfect choice for the filmy figure.

Deepika Singh in Phool Bane Angaray

Apart from the fact that Deepika has already portrayed the role of police inspector, she is one stunner performer. Deepika can effortlessly get into the skin of any character. Surely we would love to see her in the iconic role.

Kavita Kaushik in Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi

Madam Maya showcased Rekha in a never seen before sexy avatar. Now, think about the sultry television siren Kavita Kaushik. We are sure that you can now understand why we choose her for the role.

Sanaya Irani in Biwi Ho To Aisi

We have seen Sanaya essaying the role of a village girl to an upfront smart girl in one of her shows. In another daily, we have also seen her giving her saasu mom the taste of her medicine, hence, Sanaya’s name occurs to our mind first if we think about recreating the role.

Mouni Roy in Utsav

Mouni is not only one of the hottest small screen actresses of current time, but also a one who can increase the oomph factor in any flick. If you remember Rekha as Vasantsena in Utsav, then it will not be hard for you to imagine Mouni in the same character like us.
