Rekha & Amitabh Bachchan: Bollywood’s Most Mysterious Romance

Even decades later, fans can’t stop whispering about the rumored love story between Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan. The chemistry, the controversies, the secrets… it’s a Bollywood mystery that refuses to die.

Sparks on the Silver Screen

In the 70s–80s, Rekha and Amitabh lit up the screen together in hits like:

• Do Anjaane
• Muqaddar Ka Sikandar
• Silsila

Every scene oozed electricity. Every glance hinted at something more.
The media was relentless:
"Is this reel-life romance actually real?"

Yet, neither Amitabh nor Rekha ever confirmed a thing.

Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978) — The Film That Fueled Emotions

In Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Amitabh and Rekha had some of their most intense on‑screen romantic moments. Fans loved their chemistry, but behind the scenes, something different was happening.

According to stories shared later, during a trial screening of the film:

• Jaya Bachchan was reportedly watching the movie with the Bachchan family.
• Rekha later said she saw Jaya crying during the romantic scenes between her and Amitabh.
• A few days after that preview, industry whispers said Amitabh "chose not to work with Rekha again for some time."

This moment, a real‑life reaction to reel‑life romance, sent media into a frenzy, and the story of their “off‑screen tension” grew even stronger.

Silsila – The Film That Shook Bollywood

1981’s Silsila was no ordinary love story.
It featured a love triangle so intense, it blurred the lines between reel and real:
