Bollywood's Most Mysterious Love Affair: Untold Tale of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha
For many years, Bollywood fans have been fascinated by the love tale of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha. The public's fascination with their hidden relationship, steeped in secrecy and scandal, grew. Despite the fact that they never publicly recognized it, their relationship was well-known in the business. Here's the untold love story of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha which is still a long-lost love tale for everyone.
Amitabh Bachchan and his co-star Jaya Bachchan were blissfully married before he got involved with Rekha. On June 3, 1973, immediately following the triumph of "Zanjeer," they were married in a private ceremony, beginning their love affair. At that time, Amitabh and Jaya made the decision to be married since they were excited to travel to London. Amitabh was regarded as the ideal family man, and their parents gave their approval.
Nonetheless, Amitabh Bachchan's life took an unexpected turn a few years into their marriage. He got involved in a romance with Rekha that started on the "Do Anjaane" set in 1976 and eventually evolved into an affair. Amitabh and Rekha met frequently in a house owned by one of Rekha's friends, where they were able to conceal their relationship despite the fact that they were both married. Up until a crucial event, their connection was kept a secret.
As "Ganga Ki Saugandh" was being filmed in 1978, a co-actor allegedly mistreated Rekha, which led to Amitabh losing his cool. The media took notice of the incident since it made their relationship public. It was obvious to the public that there was a problem even if both sides denied having a relationship.
When Rekha made a stunning entrance at Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh's wedding wearing sindoor (vermilion) and a mangalsutra (a symbol of a wedded woman), speculation about their relationship grew. People began to wonder if Rekha had wed Amitabh secretly as a result.
Popular filmmaker Yash Chopra's film 'Silsila' revealed it all about the trio's personal relationship giving the audience a reel experience. Filmmaker Yash Chopra, offered the film "Silsila," a love triangle, with the twist being that Jaya and Rekha would star alongside him. Initially, Jaya hesitated but eventually agreed to be part of the film due to its ending, where the husband returns to his wife. She saw this as an opportunity to send a clear message to everyone that she was the victorious "wife" in the end.
Years later, in an interview, Yash Chopra acknowledged that Rekha and Amitabh were actually dating before "Silsila" had been made, providing light on the truth of their love story.
After the release of "Silsila," Amitabh and Rekha's romance started to wane. Rekha wanted to be Amitabh's wife and did not want to be known as the "other woman" in his life. Amitabh, however, had no plans to separate from his wife, Jaya. Both on- and off-screen, their passionate love story came to an end with this understanding.
A Lasting Fondness
Rekha has continued to make appearances despite the fact that they parted ways, frequently dressed up as a married woman with sindoor on her forehead. Despite the fact that he never publicly acknowledged their relationship, her love and respect for Amitabh Bachchan still shine through.
The secretive and controversial love story between Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha is still one of Bollywood's enduring tales. Although the romantic chapter of their relationship came to an end, the fascination with their unspoken tie lives on in the hearts of their followers and the annals of Bollywood history.
