Bollywood breakups have always caught the attention of fans. Star couples like Shahid Kapoor-Kareena and Deepika Padukone-Ranbir Kapoor are examples of this. Discussions about them are dwindling over time. But then and now the Rekha-Bachchan romance is the talk of the town. There are fans who wanted Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha, once a successful couple, to be together in life. But the opposite happened.
Amitabh Bachchan paid attention to his family life with Jaya Bachchan. Rekha’s life took a different turn. It is said that Bachchan fell in love with Rekha while he was married to Jaya. But Bachchan has not once accepted this argument. The incident that occurred during the Bachchan-Rekha romance is being discussed again. The topic is the dispute between Rekha and Bachchan. Bachchan was shooting the movie ‘Lavris’. During filming, Bachchan got close to an Iranian dancer.
This news has been spread widely in the world of cinema. Rekha, who found out about the incident, expressed her dissatisfaction with him. Bachchan was asked about the truth of this. Pressed by Rekha to answer, Bachchan lost his patience. An angry Bachchan slapped Rekha’s face more than once. This is told in the book ‘Rekha The Untold Story’. It is not clear if this incident actually happened. Many references in ‘Rekha The Untold Story’ have been controversial.
Previously, filmmaker Yash Chopra’s words about the Rekha-Bachchan relationship were controversial. Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha and Jaya Bachchan played the lead roles in his film Silsila. Jaya played the role of Bachchan’s wife in the film. Rekha also played the role of the bride. Yash Chopra said that he was scared during filming because the theme of the film was similar to the trio’s real life. His comment added momentum to the Rekha-Bachchan gossip.
In most of Rekha’s interviews at the time, questions about Bachchan also came up. Rekha has also hinted in interviews that she had a crush on Bachchan. Now neither Bachchan nor Rekha react to old gossip. Bachchan is still active in the film industry. But it’s been a long time since Rekha has been seen in the movies.
Bachchan is acting in the movie Project K. Jaya Bachchan, who has been away from the film industry for a long time, has also returned to acting. Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani is Jaya Bachchan’s first comeback film.
Despite staying away from movies, Rekha’s popularity is no less. Several Rekha fan pages are active on social media. All the old interviews of the actress are going viral again. Rekha, 68, remains an immortal hero in the minds of her fans even today.
