Both the Bollywood stars never talked about this. So, all the rumors related to them kept coming. But in the year 2004, when Rekha spoke openly about this in Simi Grewal’s talk show, everyone was surprised. In this show, Rekha made many revelations on her relationship with Amitabh Bachchan and put to rest all the rumours. Not only with Big B, but Rekha had also responded to the rumors about her relationship with Jaya Bachchan. Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan have done many films together. Mr. Natwarlal, Iman Dharma, Do Anjaane, Ganga Ki Saugandh, Alap, Silsila, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar etc.. and their pairings were considered blockbusters. But after a time, what happened in both the films, they started shying away from coming face to face in real life too.

When Simi Grewal asked Rekha on her show, did she ever fall in love with Amitabh while working together in about ten films? So Rekha said, Absolutely, what a stupid question. This was the first time that Rekha was talking about Amitabh Bachchan so frankly.
Rekha said- “I have not met any such man, woman or child till date who does not fall in love with them completely, to the extent of insanity, and absolutely madly. Then why separate only me. What is done? Why should I deny that I don’t love her? Absolutely is. Take the love of the world.. Add anything else, I love her as much.”
On her relationship with Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha had said- “You want to know the truth? These are headlines, okay? I never had any personal relationship with him. That’s the truth. Never ever. All kinds of speculations and controversies. There was no truth in me.” Rekha clearly said that she was definitely in love with Amitabh but there was never any relation between them.

When Rekha was asked about her and Jaya Bachchan’s relationship, she said that I do not think that being a woman, Jaya is a poor and insecure woman. On Rekha’s reply, Simi said- Yes, a woman feels safe only when her husband makes her feel safe. In response to this, Rekha said – No, it is not necessary.
Talking on Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha further said, “I don’t care what people think. I love him for myself, not for showing anyone. I love him and he tells me that. Poor Rekha is mad at her, but I don’t care who thinks what.”
At the same time, when Amitabh Bachchan was questioned on Rekha in the second episode of the same show, he said that it was all made up by the media. He had said – She was my co-star, my co-star and when we work together we will obviously meet. From a social point of view, there is nothing in common between us. That’s all in all.
