‘Amitabh Will Always Be Mine’: Jaya Bachchan fought Rekha for her husband, asked Rekha to forget…

Affairs, weddings, and divorces are common in Bollywood. One of the most infamous rumoured affairs was that of Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan. Though the affair was never confirmed, a lot of speculations were made. Both Amitabh and Rekha have worked in several movies. However, do you know that there was a time when, despite knowing the speculation about an affair between Amitabh and Rekha, Jaya Bachchan called Rekha for lunch and opened her heart in front of her?

Author Hanif Zaveri once revealed how Rekha came into Amitabh Bachchan’s life. Though Amitabh tied the knot with Jaya, the speculations of Rekha and Amitabh growing close became stronger. Their chemistry in their films, especially in Silsila, added fuel to the fire, leading many to believe that it was a reflection of their real-life love triangle.

During his conversation, Zaveri said that Amitabh and Rekha’s relationship deepened during the shooting of Do Anjaane. He recalled and said, “This affection, this bonding, was formed during the shooting of the film Do Anjaane. They came very close, and I don’t know how they fell in love with each other. But it was 100% certain that both of them started loving each other.”

Upon seeing the growing closeness, Jaya Bachchan planned to invite Rekha. After a warm lunch, when it was time to leave, Jaya, with her cutting words, said, “Amitabh was, is, and will always be mine.”

However, a turning point came in Amitabh’s life when he featured in Coolie and met with a fatal accident. It was Jaya Bachchan who had put her heart and soul into the recovery of Big B. Upon seeing this, Amitabh started to distance himself from Rekha.
