REKHA TOURANI SOCIALITE
LUXURY IS… PEACE OF MIND Socialite extraordinaire, Rekha Tourani, seems to be cocooned in luxury. Yet despite having a walk-in closet to rival the Vogue fashion department, and an enviable figure to show it off, Rekha’s luxury of choice is tellingly introspective. “What could be better than having peace of mind?” she asks. “Having worked hard all my life, I finally feel that I am at peace with myself.” She likens it to achieving a calm, spiritual state. “I have always known what I wanted out of life and ensuring I attained it was a long, arduous journey, but I can honestly say that I haven’t any desires or wants left to strive towards.” What gives her this satisfaction? “I have a husband, Mahesh, who loves me. I have two fabulous sons who are making a life of their own, who are happy, independent and successful. It is my close-knit family, who will do anything for each other, that gives me this serenity – that is my greatest achievement.” Despite having gained many column inches for her stunning new home, she is refreshingly modest. “I am lucky enough to have a beautiful, peaceful home to grow old in – a real sanctuary, and fabulous friends that support me constantly. But the bottom line is that my family is well settled.” Rekha’s inner serenity is something that every one of us yearns for, while retaining a sense of calm is her very special secret, and ultimate luxury.
