The love story of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and beauty queen Rekha remains a topic of conversation to this day. There was a time in the film industry when the couple of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha were called the hottest couple in Bollywood and talked about their love stories. It is said that both of them used to love each other in secret. The couple gave more than one movie on the big screen and both got close during work.
Amitabh never accepted the love affair with Rekha, but Rekha has been considering it as her own until now. According to reports, the movie Do Anjaane came out in the year 1976 and Amitabh-Rekha started to ‘know-recognize’ each other from this movie. People got an idea of ​​their chemistry when Amitabh got angry when Rekha misbehaved on the sets of ‘Ganga Ki Saugandh’ movie. After this, rumors began to circulate about the relationship between the two.
News of their affair spread like wildfire and reached Jaya Bachchan’s ears. Once, when Amitabh was not home, Jaya invited Rekha to her house for dinner. At that time, Rekha felt that she might hear a lot of insults, but she was treated with a lot of respect. When Rekha was coming back, Jaya just said, ‘I will never leave Amit.’ Jaya’s talk clearly meant that Rekha would never be Amitabh’s.
Amitabh and Rekha made the movie ‘Silsila’ together for the last time. Jaya Bachchan was also in it. The film ‘Silsila’ is also said to be the true life story of Amitabh, Rekha and Jaya. After this, Rekha and Amitabh did not appear in any movies together. Even today, if the two of them see each other somewhere, they still steal glances at each other.
Yash Chopra, the director of the Silsila movie, had revealed about the relationship between the two. At the same time, in an interview, Rekha made a big revelation about her and Amitabh Bachchan’s relationship. Rekha had said: ‘Nobody cares what I want. I’m another woman, right? Without taking Jaya’s name, she had said that the other person had become poor in everyone’s eyes. How can one live under one roof with such a person, when he knows that the person who lives with him loves another?
