On national television, seasoned actress Rekha once revealed that she was in love with a married man, shocking everyone in the room. The entire country is aware of Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan’s affair. Rekha constantly proclaimed her adoration for the married Amitabh Bachchan and described her love for him as pure, despite the fact that the once-madly-in-love couple faced intense backlash. Rekha is still stirred and cherishing the bliss of unrequited love even though Amitabh Bachchan had moved on from that period of his life.
When Rekha confessed she had fallen in love with a married man on national television
In an old video, Rekha may be seen serving as a judge on the reality competition Indian Idol 12. The tape shows Jay Bhanushali, the show’s host, asking the judges about a woman who has fallen head over heels for a married man. He’d stated: “Rekhaji, Nehu (Neha Kakkar), kabhi aapne dekha hai ki koi aurat itna pagal ho rahi hai kisi aadmi ke liye, woh bhi shaadi shuda aadmi k liye?”
Rekha responded in a moment, “Mujhse Puchiye na.” This left Jay shocked, and he exclaimed, “Huh?” Rekha quipped: “Maine Kuch nahi Kaha.”
Rekha’s relationship with Amitabh Bachchan
Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha’s romance was well-known and much accepted. Rekha acknowledged her affection for him on Simi Garewal’s show. In response to Simi Garewal’s inquiry, “Did Rekha love Amitabh?” To this, Rekha had said, “Absolutely! Duh, that’s a dumb question!” And then she had gone on to generalise that statement, “I’m yet to come across a man, woman, child, who can’t help but fall completely, passionately, insanely, desperately and especially, hopelessly, in love with him. So why should I be singled out?”
When Rekha shared about relationships and mentioned, “Once the relationship is established, it is forever”
For a long period, Rekha stopped doing interviews. Rekha discussed relationships, love, and life in a rare interview with the international magazine Vogue Dubai. Due to her famed romance with the already-married Amitabh Bachchan, the actress refrained from discussing love. However, she now shares her opinions on the subject. According to a quote from the actress:
“When you love someone or something so deeply, does the love disappear? No. Once the relationship is established it is forever. Sometimes we may want more and sometimes it’s just enough. This applies to my craft.”
