Rekha alluded to Jaya when Simi questioned her about her connection with Amitabh, saying, "Absolutely! In my opinion, she doesn't seem to be so insecure or petty.
Digital Desk: The love affair between Bollywood superstar Rekha
and Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most talked-about relationships ever in
Bollywood and coincidentally, both the superstars' birthdays are on the 10th and
11th of October, respectively. Everyone is still baffled by their
controversial love story because they were never open about it. Their
relationship generated buzz among their followers and made headlines.
Amitabh and Rekha allegedly began dating in 1976 while working on the set of Do Anjaane. When Amitabh lost his temper with a co-star for acting inappropriately toward Rekha on the sets of Ganga Ki Saugandh, their romance came to light. The couple maintained their public denial of their relationship, despite rumours to the contrary. Their relationship was revealed by Yash Chopra, the Director of Silsila.
Rekha was once a guest on the well-liked programme Rendevous With Simi Garewal. In one of the episodes, the Silsila actress opened up about her friendship with Jaya Bachchan. She then suggested to Jaya being "insecure" because of Amitabh and discussed her supposed relationship with Big B.
Rekha alluded to Jaya when Simi questioned her about her connection with Amitabh, saying, "Absolutely! In my opinion, she doesn't seem to be so insecure or petty.
"Yes, and a woman is so safe because the guy has given her security," Simi then retorted. Rekha instantly responded, "Really not."
Rekha commented on Amitabh's denial of their relationship in 1984 and asked, "Why shouldn't he have done it? He did everything to safeguard his reputation, his family, and his kids. Why should the general public be aware of my or his love for me? There is only love between us- it is mutual. I would have been quite dissatisfied if he had treated me that way in private. Bachchan is still a dinosaur. Why would he harm his wife if he doesn't want to harm anyone else?
