Legendary Bollywood actors Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha, once a beloved on-screen pair, have been making headlines recently due to a previously untold incident from their past. While the nature of their relationship has never been openly discussed, Indian media reports suggest a strong romantic bond between them at one point.
According to sources, during the filming of ‘Lawaaris,’ Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha found themselves caught in a heated argument, resulting in Amitabh slapping Rekha multiple times. This incident occurred while Amitabh Bachchan was engrossed in the film and his name was frequently associated with Rekha, despite his existing marriage to Jaya Bachchan.
During this period, there were also rumors circulating in the media about Amitabh Bachchan’s involvement with an Iranian dancer. In light of her eventful life experiences, Rekha sought clarification from Amitabh Bachchan regarding these speculations.
Regrettably, Amitabh Bachchan was unwilling to address the rumors, leading to increased pressure from Rekha. Eventually, the situation escalated to the point where Amitabh Bachchan not only slapped her once but multiple times. Consequently, Rekha decided to refuse any further collaboration with Amitabh Bachchan, including the film ‘Silsila.’
In an interview, renowned Indian filmmaker Yash Chopra revealed his anxiety upon discovering the real-life parallels between the story of Amitabh Bachchan’s film ‘Silsila’ and the events unfolding in their personal lives.
It is important to note that no official confirmation or denial of this distressing incident has emerged from the Bollywood industry thus far. However, the story continues to circulate as a legendary tale, forever intertwined with Rekha’s eventful life.
