The actress who has been absent from the big screen since 2014 but still manages to turn heads when she walks down the red carpet during events. One of the most-talked about events of her life has been her relationship with Amitabh Bachchan, it has been many decades ago when the rumour actually took off but the actress has never shied away from expressing her affection for
Amitabh
Bachchan.
Back in 1978, the actress during her conversation with Stardust magazine spoke about how Amitabh Bachchan’s wife
Jaya
was hurt when she saw her and Amitabh's intimate scenes in
Muqqadar Ka Sikandar
. She mentioned that once she was in the projection room for the screening of the film and the entire Bachchan family had come to wait it. She added that while Jaya was sitting in the front row, Amitabh and his entire family were in the second row and during her and Amitabh’s love scenes, she could see tears pouring down Jaya’s face.

Rekha added that a few weeks later, rumours began doing the rounds in the industry that Amitabh has made it clear that he will not be working with her in movies again and his decision has been made available to all the producers. It was being said that Amitabh and Rekha’s alleged relationship has led to discord between Jaya and Amitabh.
The next time Amitabh and Rekha worked together was for Yash Chopra’s Silsila which was three years after Muqqadar Ka Sikandar. Rekha’s last release was Indra Kumar’s Super Nani which was released in 2014.
