There was a time when the stories of Rekha and Amitabh’s love story resonated in the streets of Bollywood. It is also said about both that they had a secret love. There was a time when the pair of Rekha and Amitabh gave blockbuster films one after the other. When Amitabh made his film debut with Rekha, he was married. During the work, the closeness between the two grew. It is believed that the two used to meet at the bungalow of a friend of Rekha. But the closeness between them increased during the film ‘Ganga Ki Saugandh’. During this, a co-star had misbehaved with Rekha, at that time Amitabh became very angry. Even after years, their love remains an unsolved mystery.
At that time, the stories of love between Amitabh and Rekha were on everyone’s tongue. There was also a rumor during that period that Rekha had married Amitabh. Actually something happened that Rekha had reached Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh’s wedding wearing vermilion and mangalsutra. That’s when the rumor spread. However, Rekha later put an end to these rumours. Even today, Rekha reaches any function only by applying vermilion. People say that Rekha puts vermilion on Amitabh’s name.
Even when the news of their affair was spreading like fire, Amitabh was silent. But these news had reached Jaya’s ears. One night, Jaya had invited Rekha to her house for dinner. Then Rekha felt that maybe she would ask him to stay away from Amitabh. When Rekha reached Jaya’s house, she treated Rekha with great respect. When Rekha was going back, Jaya only said that ‘I will never leave Amit’. Jaya had made it clear that Rekha would never be of Amitabh.
Amitabh and Rekha last did the film ‘Silsila’ together. After that the two were never seen together. People also say that the film ‘Silsila’ is the real life story of Amitabh, Rekha and Jaya. After this film, distance came between Amitabh and Rekha. Even today, whenever they are seen together, they keep stealing their eyes from each other. The love story of both may not have been completed but Rekha still wants Amitabh in her heart.
