There have always been numerous stories about the love affair between Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan. One such tale suggests that a particular incident on set, where Rekha faced mistreatment, led to Amitabh becoming very upset. This event was allegedly followed by rumors of their affair coming to light. Read on to find more details.

Rekha and Amitabh’s love story, although incomplete started in a special way. Both grew closer during the shooting of a film, and Rekha was reportedly impressed by Amitabh. At that time, Amitabh was already married to Jaya Bachchan, and in 1976 Rekha got the opportunity to work with him in the film Do Anjaane. This film marked the beginning of their bond, and several reports suggest that they secretly met at Rekha’s friend’s house.

According to reports, during the shooting of Ganga Ki Saugandh in 1978, an incident occurred where Rekha’s co-actor misbehaved with her, an act that Amitabh could not tolerate. Witnessing this, Amitabh reportedly lost his temper, and the two had a heated argument. After this, the news of their alleged affair spread like wildfire.

As the news of their relationship became public, rumors also emerged that Rekha and Amitabh had secretly married. Jaya, who had already been suspicious, was heartbroken upon hearing the news. Meanwhile, Rekha was seen attending the wedding of Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor with sindoor (vermilion) in her hair, which shocked everyone. However, Rekha later clarified in an interview that wearing sindoor was not a big deal for her, as it was common in the community she came from.

At one point, Jaya Bachchan invited Rekha to their home for a meal in Amitabh’s absence. After offering her hospitality, Jaya reportedly told Rekha, “Please remember, Rekha ji, that Amitji is my husband and will always be. Don’t forget that he is the son of Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan. We come from a family where family values are of utmost importance.”
