Radha Usman Syed:The Life of Being Rekha's Sister

Radha Usman Syed, born Radha Ganesan in 1955, is a former model and sister of the legendary Bollywood actress Rekha. Despite being related to one of the most famous actresses in Indian cinema, Radha has managed to maintain a relatively low profile throughout her life.

Born and raised in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, Radha comes from a prominent family with deep roots in the film industry. Her father, Gemini Ganesan, was a renowned Tamil actor, while her mother, Pushpavalli, was a famous actress. Radha has a large extended family, including numerous half-siblings from her father's various marriages.

After completing her schooling at Church Park Convent in Chennai, Radha pursued a career as a model. Although she did not achieve the same fame as her sister Rekha, Radha was still known in the modeling world for her striking appearance, standing at 160 cm (5ft 3in) tall with black eyes and hair.

In 1981, Radha married Usman Syed and converted to Islam, changing her name to Rabia Syed. The couple has two sons, Naveed, and Aman Syed. Radha's husband, Usman, also comes from a prominent family, with his father, S.M. Abbas, a well-known director.

Radha and her family currently reside in the United States, and she holds Indian nationality. Despite her conversion to Islam, she maintains her connection to her Hindu roots and Brahmin caste, with Tamil as her mother tongue.

Although Radha has mostly stayed out of the limelight, she shares a strong bond with her sister Rekha and her numerous siblings. Some of her sisters include Dr. Revathi Swaminathan, an oncologist; Dr. Kamala Selvaraj, a gynecologist; Dr. Jaya Shreedhar, a doctor; Narayani Ganesh, a journalist; Vijaya Chamundeswari, a physiotherapist; and Dhanalakshmi Sapru. She also has several half-brothers, such as Sathish Kumar Ganesan, Seshgiri (Sheshu), and Babuji Rangachari.

In addition to her siblings, Radha has numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins involved in various fields, such as acting, journalism, and medicine. Some notable relatives include her nephews Abhinay Vaddi, an actor, Dr. Rajesh Swaminathan, a doctor, and her nieces Dr. Priya Selvaraj, Rene, and Riya Sapru.

Despite her famous family connections, Radha Usman Syed has chosen to live a quiet and private life, away from the glamour and glitz of the entertainment industry. As a devoted wife, mother, and sister, she is a testament to the importance of family ties and maintaining one's roots, even in the face of fame and fortune.
