The sparks flew between Amitabh and Rekha during the filming of Do Anjaane in 1976, setting the stage for a tumultuous love story that would be whispered about for years.However, it was on the sets of Ganga Ki Saugandh that their chemistry garnered intense media attention, especially after Bachchan reportedly lost his temper over a co-actor’s inappropriate behavior towards Rekha.
Despite their attempts to downplay the rumors, the truth came to light when Yash Chopra, the director of Silsila, confirmed their relationship.
One of the defining moments of this saga was Rekha’s appearance on the iconic chat show ‘Rendezvous With Simi Garewal.’ During the candid conversation, Rekha shed light on her relationship with Jaya Bachchan and addressed the rumours surrounding her alleged affair with Amitabh.

When asked about her feelings for Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha told Simi, “Absolutely. Duh, that’s a dumb question. I have yet to come across a single man, woman, child who can help but fall completely, passionately, insanely, desperately, hopelessly in love with him. So why should I be singled out? What do I deny? Of course I am. Duniya bhar ka love aap le lijiyega and add some more – I feel that for that person. Bottomline.”
During the conversation, Rekha also praised Jaya’s maturity and strength, describing her as a woman of dignity and class. “Didibhai is much more mature, much more together. We were living in the same building, and we had a relationship. She was my Didibhai, she still is – no matter what happens, nobody can take that away,” Rekha stated.
