Who is the superstar reportedly caught in a Chennai hotel room with Rekha by his wife? Not Amitabh Bachchan

Love has no age, cannot be calculated, and often doesn’t consider whether the other person is already involved with someone else or not. However, when you find out that your partner is already married, most people take a step back. But that wasn’t the case here. A star husband was reportedly dating his co-star and was caught with her in a hotel room by his wife. The actress in question is Rekha. But contrary to what many might assume, this story doesn’t involve Amitabh Bachchan.

Who was actress Rekha reportedly dating?

The actor is Kamal Haasan, who was quite famous for his personal life. Once, Kamal Haasan’s name was also associated with actress Rekha. The news of their affair came to light when both of them worked together in a film. In 1981, Rekha had signed the Tamil film ‘Meendum Kokila’ along with the film ‘Silsila’. Kamal Haasan and Sridevi were also in this film. It is said that during this time, the relationship between Rekha and Kamal Haasan became very deep. Both of them became very close to each other.

What happened when Kamal Haasan’s wife caught them together?

Rumours about Rekha and Kamal Haasan’s relationship spread so widely that they eventually reached Haasan’s home. The actor was married to Vani Ganapathy in 1978. When news of Rekha and Kamal’s alleged relationship reached Vani, it reportedly left her shocked. It is said that she once caught Kamal Haasan with Rekha in a Chennai hotel.

Years later, a journalist writing for Rediff recalled the incident, claiming that Vani Ganapathy allegedly caught Kamal and Rekha together in a Chennai hotel. The journalist wrote, “In late 1979, I was working at the Hotel Chola Sheraton in Chennai. One night, when I reported for work, I found the place in a tizzy. As the girls at reception told the story, Kamal Haasan and Rekha Ganesan were in the latter’s room in the hotel when Kamal’s then-wife, Vani Ganapathy, arrived and gave her husband a public dressing-down,” the journalist claimed.

How did Kamal Haasan’s wife react after seeing him with Rekha in a room?

After Vani Ganapathy caught Kamal and Rekha in a hotel room, Rekha was reportedly dropped from ‘Meendum Kokila’ and replaced by Malayalam actress Deepa (Unni Mary). While no one has ever confirmed or denied the incident publicly. The story became like a rumour. After two years, Vani and Kamal’s marriage also ended. The actor moved on and married actress Sarika. The actor met her on the set of Raja Paarvai and they started dating. It was reported that Sarika became pregnant with Shruti Haasan before her marriage to Kamal, but their marriage also didn’t work as they filed for divorce after a year.
