Rekha’s old comments about Amitabh Bachchan have returned to attention after the interview resurfaced and reminded fans of one of the most discussed relationships in Bollywood. In a 2004 episode of Simi Garewal’s talk show ‘Rendezvous’, Rekha spoke about her feelings for Amitabh.
She admitted that she loved him, but also denied having a personal relationship with him. Their famous relationship has remained a part of Indian cinema history for decades, especially after their last film together, ‘Silsila’.
Rekha talks about loving Amitabh Bachchan
Rekha made these comments while appearing on Simi Garewal’s show Rendezvous in 2004. When Simi asked her if she ever loved Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha did not avoid the question.She replied, “Sure. Duh, that’s a stupid question. I’ve yet to meet a single man, woman, or child who can help but fall completely, passionately, madly, desperately, hopelessly in love. So why should I be singled out?”
Rekha then added: “What should I deny? I don’t love him? Of course I do. I don’t love him.”
Duniya bhar ka love (Love of the whole world) aap le lijiyega (You can take it) And add more, I feel that way about that person. Bottom line.Her comments became one of the most quoted moments from the interview. Rekha’s words also stood out because she spoke in an unusually direct manner on a topic that has drawn public attention for a long time.
Rekha denied having a personal relationship
In the same interview, Rekha also addressed the rumors surrounding her and Amitabh. She said that there is no personal relationship between them and denied the long-standing speculation.
“There was never any personal contact with him; that’s the truth. Never. There was no truth to the controversy and speculation,” Rekha said.Rekha and Amitabh have worked together in many films and have become one of the most popular screen duos in Indian cinema. Their last film together was Yash Chopra’s drama Silsila in 1981. The film also starred Jaya Bachchan and attracted attention because its story was seen by many as being close to the general gossip surrounding the three stars.After Silsila, Rekha and Amitabh did not appear together in another film. However, their connection continued to intrigue fans due to their on-screen chemistry, Rekha’s candid comments and years of speculation about their equation.
