Kareena Kapoor Khan, who made her big Bollywood debut with Abhishek Bachchan in ‘Refugee’, spoke about Rekha’s image as a ‘sex goddess’ in a throwback interview. The actress also said that she felt 'very flattered' when she was addressed as one, too.
Kareena told Filmfare in 2002, "I’ve realised I’m here to be at the top. And to get there you have to be sexy, glamorous and attractive. Everyone has been at the top – Rekha, Sridevi, Madhuri, Karisma – has taken the glamour route. Rekha is called a sex goddess. I was very flattered when a magazine called me one too. In any case, just by wearing a salwar-kameez I can’t prove that I’m a good actress. The clothes have to be in keeping with the character… like Pooh’s deadly outfits in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. I want to be the No.1 actress. So why pick on my clothes?"
