Her public image has often been tied to her perceived sex appeal. Her pairing opposite Amitabh Bachchan starting in the 1970s in a number of successful films was accompanied by speculation about a love affair between the two, which culminated in their starring film Silsila (1981), reflective of media projections. Her only marriage was to Mukesh Aggarwal in 1990, which ended a year later when he died by suicide. Rekha's private life and public image have been the subject of frequent media interest and discussion. In 2010, she was honoured with the Padma Shri by the Government of India. During the 2000s, she was praised for her supporting roles in the 2001 dramas Zubeidaa and Lajja, and started playing mother roles, among which was her role in the science fiction Koi Mil Gaya (2003) and its superhero sequel Krrish (2006), both blockbusters. In 1996, she took a negative turn of an underworld don in the action thriller Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi (1996), for which won a third Filmfare Award in the Best Supporting Actress category, and further appeared in Kama Sutra (1996) and Aastha (1997) to critical acclaim but some public scrutiny. Her early roles in the 1990s mostly met with lukewarm reviews.
Her work was much less frequent in subsequent decades. After a short setback in the mid 1980s, she was among the actresses who led a new trend of women-centred revenge films, starting with Khoon Bhari Maang (1988), for which she won a second Best Actress award at Filmfare. These films included dramas such as Kalyug (1981), Vijeta (1982) and Utsav (1984), and her portrayal of a classical courtesan in Umrao Jaan (1981) won her the National Film Award for Best Actress. While mostly prolific in popular Hindi cinema, during this time she ventured into parallel cinema, a movement of neo-realist films arthouse films. She followed it with roles in Baseraa, Ek Hi Bhool (1981), Jeevan Dhaara (1982) and Agar Tum Na Hote (1983).
