Veteran journalist Shobhaa De suggests that Rekha's constant visibility and interactions with the paparazzi may be diminishing her star mystique. De believes Rekha's allure lies in her enigmatic persona, and overexposure could erode this unique power. She noted that while Rekha is intelligent and gifted, her recent body of work doesn't offer a fallback if her mystique fades, unlike Jaya Bachchan's contrasting approach to media attention.
