Born as Bhanurekha Ganesan, Rekha is a famed actress whose mystique, charisma, and talent have mesmerized audiences for decades. Throughout her more than fifty-year career, Rekha has established herself as one of the most renowned and adaptable actors in Indian cinema, making a lasting impression on Bollywood.

However, her personal life has been as intriguing as her on-screen persona. Her mysterious aura was further enhanced by her supposed relationship with Amitabh Bachchan, which became one of Bollywood’s most talked-about subjects. It is because, at that time, Amitabh Bachchan was already married to Jaya Bachchan.

However, in contrast to many of her fellow celebrities, Rekha has not frequently discussed her personal life in public. It has stoked curiosity and speculation over her relationships, particularly the one that is supposed to exist with Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. However, not many know that Rekha once admitted her love for BigB openly.

Rekha talked about her one-sided feelings for Amitabh Bachchan

The much-discussed relationship between Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan gained attention when Rekha appeared on Kapil Sharma’s Netflix series, The Great Indian Kapil Show. In a golden Kanjeevaram saree and matching jewelry, Rekha looked stunning when she made her appearance on the stage. Speaking with the host, she hinted at her one-sided affection for Amitabh Bachchan. As she recounted a Shayari, she stated:

Ho sakta hai ke apko humse ishqnahi hai, ho sakta hain ahi, hai, na kabhi tha, nah ai aur na hi hoga…kyuki, you know obvious reasons. Story of my life…but, hum jo apke prati pyaar koot koot ke koot koot ke bhare hue hai apne dimaag me, rozaana ked daur se hum mar mar ke jee rahe hain, uska kya? Uska kuch to aadar kijiye, kuch to kadakr kijiye. Kuch to is bindaare mohabbat ka bharam rakhiyega, tub bhi to mujhko manne ke liye.

When Rekha spoke about how Amitabh Bachchan denied their relationship

Despite Rekha’s assertions, Amitabh Bachchan denied their relationship multiple times. However, Rekha once responded in a fiery throwback interview with Filmfare in 1984. The actress said she recognized that he had been lying to preserve his reputation and show care for his family. She stated:

Why should he have not done it? He did it to protect his image, to protect his family, to protect his children. I think it is beautiful, I don’t care what the public thinks of it. Why should the public know of my love for him or his love for me? I love him, he loves me – that’s it! I don’t care what anybody thinks.

During the same interview, Rekha disclosed that Amitabh Bachchan is outdated and will not offend his wife, Jaya Bachchan. She elaborated on the same, saying:

If he’d reacted that way towards me in private, I would have been very disappointed. But has he ever done that? I ask you. So why should I care about what he’s said in public? I know people must be saying bechari Rekha, pagal hai us par, phir bhi dekho. Maybe I deserve that pity. Not that he has 10 rollicking affairs! Mr Bachchan is still old-fashioned. He doesn’t want to hurt anybody, so why hurt his wife?

How did Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan’s relationship start?

The story of Amitabh and Rekha’s affair started in 1976 while filming for a movie, ‘Do Anjaane.’ At that time, Amitabh was married. The couple used to meet in the house owned by Rekha’s friends in the early days of their secret relationship. Nobody knew about it and everything was going well. However, soon something went wrong.

Reportedly, Big B reportedly lost his fury with a co-star who was acting inappropriately around Rekha during the filming of Ganga Ki Saugandh (1978). Following this, their affair gained media attention and forced them into the spotlight. Although the two denied having an affair, it was obvious that they were seeing each other. Yash Chopra, the director of Silsila, acknowledged their relationship in one of the interviews.

The rumor mills began spinning provocative stories about Rekha and Amitabh’s alleged extramarital affair. There were also headlines in numerous newspapers and publications claiming that Rekha and Amitabh had secretly tied the knot.

The rumors of this affair intensified when Rekha, adorned in sindoor and mangalsutra, made a dramatic entrance at the wedding of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh. Everyone during the wedding turned their focus to Rekha and her newlywed appearance. People began speculating about Rekha’s marital status.

In addition, she raised further eyebrows as she approached Amitabh and began speaking to him humbly. Some of the sources shared that it caused Jaya, Amitabh Bachchan’s wife, to cry.

Despite his obvious affection for Rekha, Amitabh Bachchan never publicly acknowledged it. Rekha, on the other hand, came clean about her affection for him. The couple’s final movie together was Silsila, which came out in 1981. Featuring Amitabh Bachchan, his wife Jaya Bachchan, and his girlfriend Rekha, the film was a love triangle. Nevertheless, despite the controversies, Rekha maintained her dignity and rarely commented on her private life, further enhancing her mystique.
