Rekha's journey to becoming superstar wasn't easy, was rejected by her father, dragged into films at 13, kissed without consent
Who doesn't know Rekha, one of the most beautiful and talented actresses of Bollywood? Rekha is a big name in the industry today, but her personal life remains a mystery. It is believed that as much fame as Rekha got from her film career, she got as much pain in her personal life. She did not reveal her family background until the mid-1970s. During her unstable childhood, her relationship with her father Ganesan was estranged as he rejected her. He was a big star, but never helped her and did not want to recognise her as his daughter. What challenges did Rekha face in her journey to stardom? Rekha's life has always been surrounded by controversies. Today, Rekha is at a place where people dream of reaching. But to achieve this fame, Rekha also had to work hard. The struggle that Rekha went through to reach the heights is an example in itself. Rekha started her career at the age of 13, not because she loved acting, she was pushed into the film industry so that she can earn. Rekha revealed in an old BBC interview that she was unwillingly pushed at the young age of 13 to act in the movies. Despite her initial reluctance and lack of interest in acting, circumstances led her to a life in front of the camera, a path her mother strongly desired for her. Rekha was exploited… Apart from personal life, her professional life was also facing early hardships, including exploitation and a sense of isolation within the industry. During the shooting of her first film Anjana Safar (later released as Do Shikari), she faced a deeply uncomfortable experience. Biswajit, then 32, forcibly kissed his 15-year-old co-star Rekha and later laughed it off after being called out for it. Veteran producer Kuljit Pal revealed in an interview that qithout telling her first, he planted a kiss on Rekha's lips, and didn't let go for five minutes. The crew hooted and hollered as Rekha cried. He said, 'Rekha was there. She said that she has no reservations against a kissing scene. She said she would do it. I know she now says that she was taken by surprise when Biswajeet kissed her. I only told her that since she is doing something which Hindi film heroines don't, it will be better if she said she absolutely did not like it. But she knew about this scene in all cases'. Rekha began her career in Tamil films before making her way to Bollywood. Here, she delivered powerful performances in films by Yash Chopra and other prominent directors, earning widespread fame. While Rekha was becoming a well-known face in Hindi cinema, in real life, she was still treated as an outsider. Movies like Ghar, Muqaddar Ka Sikander, and Mr. Natwarlal followed, with Silsila and Khoon Bhari Maang gave her the status in the industry that she deserved.

Italian Brainrot: The AI memes only kids know
In a Japanese shop selling pocket-money trinkets, there is a rack of toys, stickers and keyrings based on a global crew of AI-generated characters that almost every child knows about -- and very few adults. A walking shark in oversized sneakers, an orange with muscular arms and a twirling "Ballerina Cappuccina" with a mug for a head are among the strange stars of the online phenomenon called Italian Brainrot. "At first it's not funny at all, but it kind of grows on you," 16-year-old Yoshi Yamanaka-Nebesney from New York told AFP. "You might use it to annoy someone and find that funny." The name nods to the stupefying effect of scrolling through mindless social media posts, especially over-the-top images created with artificial intelligence tools. Shouty, crude and often nonsensical Italian voiceovers feature in many of the clips made by people in various countries that began to spread this year on platforms such as TikTok, embraced by young Gen Z and Gen Alpha members. The dozen-plus cartoonish AI creatures have fast become memes, inspiring a stream of new content such as "Brainrot Rap", viewed 116 million times on YouTube. A YouTube Short titled "Learn to Draw 5 Crazy Italian Brainrot Animals" -- including a cactus-elephant crossover named "Lirili Larila" -- has also been watched 320 million times. "There's a whole bunch of phrases that all these characters have," said Yamanaka-Nebesney, in Tokyo with his mother Chinami, who had no idea what he was talking about. School-age Italian Brainrot fans can be found from Kenya to Spain and South Korea, while some of the most popular videos reference Indonesia's language and culture instead. "I went on trips with my boys to Mexico" and people would "crack jokes about it" there too, Yamanaka-Nebesney said. 'Melodic language' Internet trends move fast, and Italian Brainrot "hit its peak maybe two months ago or a month ago", said Idil Galip, a University of Amsterdam lecturer in new media and digital culture. Italian -- a "melodic language that has opportunities for jokes" -- has appeared in other memes before. And "there are just so many people in Indonesia" sharing posts which have potential for global reach, Galip said. A "multi-level marketing economy" has even emerged, with AI video-makers targeting Italian Brainrot's huge audience through online ads or merchandise sales, she added. Nurina, a 41-year-old Indonesian NGO worker, said her seven-year-old loves the mashed-up brainrot world. "Sometimes when I pick him up from school, or when I'm working from home, he shouts, 'Mommy! Bombardino Crocodilo!'" -- a bomber plane character with a crocodile head. "I know it's fun to watch," said Nurina, who like many Indonesians goes by one name. "I just need to make him understand that this is not real." Some videos have been criticised for containing offensive messages that go over young viewers' heads, such as rambling references in Italian to "Bombardino Crocodilo" bombing children in Gaza. "The problem is that these characters are put into adult content" and "many parents are not tech-savvy" enough to spot the dangers, warned Oriza Sativa, a Jakarta-based clinical psychologist. Tung tung tung Sahur The best-known Indonesian brainrot character "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" resembles a long drum called a kentongan, which is used to wake people up for a pre-dawn meal, or sahur, during Ramadan. Indonesia has a young, digitally active population of around 280 million, and "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" is not its only viral export. This summer, video footage -- not AI-generated -- of a sunglass-wearing boy dancing on a rowboat during a race at a western Indonesian festival also became an internet sensation. Noxa, the TikToker behind the original "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" clip, is now represented by a Paris-based collective of artists, lawyers and researchers called Mementum Lab . "Noxa is a content creator based in Indonesia. He's under 20," they told AFP. "He makes fast, overstimulated, AI-assisted videos." "He doesn't call himself a 'contemporary artist', but we think he's already acting like one," said Mementum Lab, which is focused on complex emerging issues around AI intellectual property, and says it is helping Noxa negotiate deals for his work. Noxa, in comments provided by the collective, said the character was "inspired by the sound of the sahur drum I used to hear". "I didn't want my character to be just another passing joke -- I wanted him to have meaning," he said. Cultural nuances can be lost at a mass scale, however, with one 12-year-old tourist in Tokyo saying he thought "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" was a baseball bat. And the generation gap looks set to persist. "What's that?!" laughed a woman as she puzzled at the row of Italian Brainrot dolls. "It's not cute at all!"
