When Rekha publicly confessed her love for Amitabh Bachchan, she said- 'I cannot live without him…'

 

 Amitabh Bachchan: There are constant discussions about the relationship between Bollywood diva Rekha and Bollywood Shahenshah Amitabh Bachchan. Some people even believe that Rekha applies sindoor in her maang with Amitabh's name on it. Although Amitabh Bachchan has never given a direct statement about this relationship, but do you know that Rekha had once publicly confessed that she loves Amitabh Bachchan a lot.

Rekha is in love with Amitabh Bachchan

Even though Big B never confessed his love for Rekha, Rekha always loved him from the bottom of her heart, and Rekha revealed this in 2001 itself. Actually, in 2001, Simi Grewal asked Rekha in an interview that why did she ever fall in love with Amitabh Bachchan? Then Rekha first laughed a bit after hearing this question and then she answered this question in straight words and said, 'Absolutely, this is a very stupid question.' During this, Rekha further said, 

“I have not met anyone who does not love Amitabh. Then how can I live without loving him. Of course I love him and you can take all the love in the world and add a little more to it. I love him so much.”

Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan did not have a personal relationship

During this conversation with Simi Grewal, Rekha may have confessed her love for Amitabh Bachchan, but she also said that she never had any personal relationship with Amitabh Bachchan. During this time, she said, 'I never had any personal relationship with Amitabh, and this is the truth. Never had any. There was absolutely no truth in the controversies and speculations that arose many times'. During the same time, she said about Jaya Bachchan, "She was my Didibhai and still is. No matter what happens, no one can take her away". Also, praising Jaya, she said, "Didibhai is very understanding. I have not yet met a woman who is as united as Didibhai"

Jaya got the news of the affair

Rekha, who entered Bollywood as a lead actress in 1969, became popular in the film world very quickly and became the top actress of Bollywood in no time. Rekha, who has worked in many hit films in her career, has worked in many films with Amitabh Bachchan and the audience has loved the pairing of these two. Rekha has worked with Amitabh in many superhit films like Silsila, Mr. Natwarlal, Namak Haram, Alaap, Khoon Pasina, Do Anjaane and Muqaddar Ka Sikandar.

It is said that when the film 'Do Anjaane' was released in 1976, there were rumours that these two were dating each other while Amitabh and Jaya were married in 1973. When the news of this affair reached Jaya, Big B and Rekha had to separate and since then these two have never worked together.
