Amitabh and Rekha… these are two names of Hindi cinema which cannot be taken together even by joining them. Everyone is aware of the love story of these two stars. Everyone knows that the discussion about the story of Rekha and Amitabh is one of the most common things happening in the corridors of Bollywood. But those who talk about Rekha and Amitabh forget that there is a third person between them and that is Jaya Bachchan. At the time when Rekha and Amitabh's love was blossoming, this news had also reached Jaya's ears. Very few people know how Jaya handled this situation.
If reports are to be believed, the love affair between Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha started in the year 1976 from the sets of the film 'Do Anjaane'. However, this relationship came to public attention when Amitabh beat up a co-star for misbehaving with Rekha during the shooting. When the news spread, it reached Jaya also. It is also said that during the shooting of the film 'Silsila', both of Rekha and Amitabh did not act in the scenes but actually loved each other.
When the news of their love reached Jaya's ears, she was surprised. But those who know what Jaya did after this, even today praise Jaya Bachchan's courage and her attitude. As soon as the news of Rekha-Amitabh's affair became headlines, Jaya invited Rekha to her house for dinner. Rekha also knew that Jaya knew everything about her and Amitabh, so it was a bit strange to go for dinner at her house. Rekha thought that Jaya would be very angry when she came home or would say something wrong, although Jaya did not do anything like that.
When Rekha went to Amitabh's house, Jaya welcomed her very nicely. Not only welcomed him but also took him around the house and looked after him very well. Jaya met Rekha very lovingly and sat and fed her together, but before meeting her, Jaya said something to Rekha that she never came back to Amitabh's house nor in his life. Jaya told Rekha, I will never leave Amit.
Due to this statement of Jaya, Rekha understood that even though Amitabh and her name could be associated together on the film screen, they would never be able to be together in real life. That was the day and today is the day… Rekha never stepped into Amitabh's house again nor did she appear in any film with Amitabh. This statement of Jaya Bachchan left the story of both of them as a continuation.
