Amitabh and Rekha’s Love Story: Here is the Reason Why the Duo Never Worked Together Again

Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha’s rumored love story has always sparked curiosity in the film industry. While Amitabh never openly discussed it, Rekha’s lack of denial added fuel to the gossip. Despite the rumors, one significant event led to them never working together again.

According to BollywoodShaadis.com, Jaya Bachchan, Amitabh’s wife, eventually became fed up with the constant media attention and rumors surrounding her husband and Rekha. During one of Amitabh’s out-of-town shoots, Jaya invited Rekha over for dinner. In an old interview with Stardust, Rekha shared her experience of this dinner. She admitted expecting some tension, but Jaya greeted her warmly and even gave her a tour of the house. However, as Rekha was about to leave, Jaya reportedly made a statement that changed everything: “I will never leave Amit, no matter what happens.”

Rekha later revealed that Jaya tolerated her husband’s rumored affair as long as she believed it was just a fling. But once Jaya realized Amitabh was emotionally involved, it began to hurt her. This dinner marked a turning point, as the media soon got wind of their private meeting, and when Amitabh found out, he chose to distance himself from Rekha.

Their last film together was *Silsila*, which also starred Jaya. Although the movie didn’t do well at the box office initially, it later became a cult classic.

This personal episode between the three actors remained a much-discussed chapter in Bollywood’s history, with *Silsila* standing as a reminder of the complex emotions behind the scenes.
