Despite both of the stars denying it, the grapevine has persisted that Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha had secretly married. Speculations about their alleged affair continue to captivate fans. It is also said that there's animosity between Jaya Bachchan and Rekha for the same reason, and that is perhaps the reason why one of the most loved onscreen couples of Bollywood hasn't starred together in a long time now.?
In 2008, People magazine had asked Jaya Bachchan if she would be fine with her husband working with the veteran actress again? I response, she said, "Why should I mind". Furthermore, she said that if it ever happens, it will be more like a "sensation" than "actual work". She added, "That's a pity because one will miss the opportunity of seeing them together. Both of them probably realise it will go beyond work."
For the unversed, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan have worked together in some of the iconic movies that include Namak Haraam, Khoon Pasina, Do Anjane, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Suhaag and Mr Natwarlal among others. However, their most talked about film is Silsila, which also starred Jaya Bachchan.?In an interview with Simi Garewal, Rekha admitted that she was in love with Amitabh. However, she denied being in a relationship with him, but at the same time, she admitted that her feelings were "passionate, insane, and desperate."
A couple of days ago, a rare video of Rekha hugging Jaya Bachchan after Amitabh Bachchan won an acting award had gone viral. "Rekha Mam is more happier than Jaya. That's the pure love and sacrifice," one of the users said. Another one said, "Too cute expression on face of Rekha. True love."
