00:04I can see that you are a student of Begum Akhtar.
00:07Thank you Begum.
00:08You are a student of Geeta Devi.
00:10When you started singing, did you have this style in you?
00:16Did you learn it or it was in you?
00:18No, no, no.
00:19Education is a very big thing.
00:22So because of education...
00:24But this particular style...
00:26My emphasis is on the way words are spoken.
00:29The way words are spoken.
00:31So because of that,
00:33by focusing on that,
00:36by practicing on that,
00:38then this style is formed.
00:40So some, I would say,
00:4360% education,

01:22that Rekha ji's ancestors,
01:25her grandfather, her father,
01:28they all came from Lahore.
01:30And in 1947, they migrated to India from Lahore.
01:35So then it became ours.
01:36It became ours.
01:37The interesting thing is that
01:39her parents got married in the Flatty's Hotel.
01:44And probably on Lawrence Road,
01:48the Lawrence Mansion,

01:51In fact, last month my mother was here.
01:55She went to the Lawrence Mansion,
01:57and she went and met the people who were staying there.
02:01I also met her.
02:03She came to my house.

02:06she is one of India's leading architects and interior designers.
02:10She is also the president of the women's club.

02:19including her mother.
02:21She came to my house,
02:22and we had an evening of Sana Marwa with them.
