The off-screen dynamics between Amitabh Bachchan Rekha and Jaya Bachchan continue to make headlines. Big B who was already married to Jaya was rumoured to be smitten by Rekha. However nothing ever happened as the Zanjeer actor once firmly said that he doesnt believe in divorce amid ongoing rumours of marital strain. Famous Biographer Yasser Usman in his book Rekha: The Untold Story documented what Jaya Bachchan reportedly told about her husbands affair rumours. Let the whole world say what they want. He [Amitabh Bachchan] has made a commitment to me and he has to have the courage (to say hes in love with somebody else!) and if he is doing something behind my back its his problem. Not my problem. He has to live with it. And with his conscience Jaya Bachchan said. What did Amitabh Bachchan say on tensions with Jaya amid Rekha controversy? Then Amitabh Bachchan addressed the speculations of growing tension in his marriage. An excerpt from the book read Without taking Rekha’s name Amitabh responded to the reported tensions in his marriage: ‘A divorce will never happen in our case. I don’t believe in divorce because my basic instincts are Indian. I made an absolutely first-class choice when I took Jaya as my wife. In the same book Yaseer Usman revealed This is the closest that Amitabh ever came to even admitting that all was not well in the Bachchan household. But Rekha kept fuelling the media fire. In an interview with Stardust she made a strange claim: that Jaya had invited her over to the Bachchan home one day. Jaya did not mind the relationship as long as she thought her husband was only having a fling. Its when she realised that he was really emotionally involved that is when it began hurting her. She called me for dinner one evening and though we spoke about everything but him before I left that day she made sure to tell me I will never leave Amit whatever happens. In 1981 Yash Chopra cast Amitabh Bachchan Rekha and Jaya Bachchan in a film together named Silsila. Interestingly the films storyline rumoured to mirror personal life tensions of the lead actors.
