Sushant Divgikar, also known as Rani Ko-HE-Nur, just paid a beautiful tribute to Rekha ahead on Women's Day 2024. Offering a refreshing perspective on Women's Day. She says, "For me, any day you treat women right is Women’s Day. They should be celebrated every day and not just on one particular day as they are the creators and supremely powerful. You can celebrate a woman by standing by her, supporting her and being her ally every single day, and if you cannot do this, then there is no need to put it on social media just because it is trending or because it is being celebrated across the nation.
