Madhurima Tuli expressed her deep admiration for Rekha, saying she'd be honored to play the legendary actress in a biopic. She believes her own personality traits closely resemble Rekha's, citing their shared cultural values and traditional roots. Madhurima admires Rekha's elegance, finesse and warmth, describing these qualities as "sensational".
According to Tellychakar, Tuli said, "To be honest, there are many beautiful, wonderful and inspiring actresses in our industry whose impeccable work has left a profound positive impact in my life. However, right now, immediately, if I have to pick up one name, I would have to talk about the one and only Rekha ji. Although she is the one and only and absolutely irreplaceable, I feel my personality and traits have a lot of similarity with her’s."
"I am personally very culturally and traditionally rooted in terms of my value system and so is she. Her grace and warmth lies in her ethnicity and I too have similar shades in my personality. The ‘nazakat’ and finesse that she has in her personality is simply sensational and I have always admired that. So, if there’s ever a biopic on Rekha ji being made, it would be an absolute honour to be the face of the film and try my best to play her on-screen," she further added.
Madhurima said, "Like I said, there’s only one Rekha ji but I will definitely put my best foot forward to do justice to her magnanimous personality if I ever get to play her on-screen. It would be an absolute privilege and honour and I really manifest that it happens someday so that I can make Rekha ji herself, all her fans and all my well-wishers proud and happy."
