Actress Rekha discussed her complex relationship with her father, legendary actor Gemini Ganesan, in an interview. She revealed she never truly knew him, as he left when she was an infant and his relationship with her mother was not socially accepted. Rekha stated she didn't experience a father's presence, making the concept of 'father' unfamiliar. Despite his fame, she grew up without his direct care, a situation she described as an absence rather than abandonment.
