There have been many star couples in Indian cinema, but few have been discussed quite like Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha. Even today, fans see them as the hero and heroine who were never together in life. Over the years, these gossips have not left the star couple. Meanwhile, neither Rekha nor Bachchan are talking about this anywhere now. Even today, not many people know what went down in this romance that once caused a stir in B-Town.
The actor tried to stay as far away from Amitabh Bachchan’s gossip as possible, paying attention to his family life with Jaya Bachchan. Rekha’s life, on the other hand, progressed with ups and downs. Fans still see Rekha as a symbol of lost love.
Rekha has been open about her relationship with Bachchan. But Bachchan repeatedly said that he did not have such a relationship. At one point, Rekha had to face the question of why she didn’t openly admit her love to the media. Rekha answered this without hesitation.
Rekha asked why Bachchan should openly admit it. She did it to protect her family and his image. I think that’s beautiful. I don’t care how the public takes it. Why our love is known to the outside world. I like him. He has me too. The document said that’s enough.
I would have felt bad if you had said it directly to me. But did she do that? So why are you paying attention to what he said in public? Bachchan remains a traditionalist. He is not interested in bothering anyone. Rekha then asked why he should worry his own wife.
Rekha said this in an interview given to Filmfare in 1984. The mention of Rekha became a big discussion that day. A few years before this interview, there was another working paper that caused quite a stir. Rekha attended the wedding of actor Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor.
Rekha arrived sporting vermilion on her forehead. Crimson-clad bachelorette Rekha caught the attention of the media. This fueled the Bachchan-Rekha gossip. But the explanation they gave at the time was that she had come straight to the wedding after the shooting and had forgotten to remove her vermilion.
Although there was constant gossip at the time, it did not affect Amitabh Bachchan’s marriage to Jaya Bachchan. Jaya Bachchan is not ready to respond to the rumors. Rekha later married a businessman named Mukesh Aggarwal, but this relationship did not last long either. Mukesh Agarwal committed suicide within a few months of getting married. Later, Rekha was not ready for another marriage. Rekha has not been active in the film industry for the past few years. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan continues to make movies.
