Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s marriage has stood the test of time, but it hasn’t been without its share of speculation. One of Bollywood’s most talked-about topics remains the alleged romance between Amitabh and Rekha, an affair neither confirmed nor denied but still fuelling curiosity decades later.

For years, Amitabh has chosen to remain silent on the subject, while Rekha has given cryptic hints that kept the rumours alive. However, a recent revelation by author Hanif Zaveri on the Meri Saheli podcast sheds new light on why the affair reportedly ended. According to Zaveri, Amitabh and Rekha were deeply in love, but Jaya made a decisive move to protect her marriage. When Amitabh wasn’t home, she invited Rekha over for a conversation. After serving her food, Jaya reportedly told her, “Amitabh is mine. He was mine and will always be mine.” This direct confrontation led Rekha to step away, both from Amitabh personally and from working with him professionally.

Amitabh and Rekha last appeared together in Silsila (1981), a film that eerily mirrored their rumoured real-life love triangle. Many assumed Jaya was the reason they never collaborated again, but she once clarified in an interview that it wasn’t her decision. She admitted their pairing was sensational on screen but suggested that their personal history made further collaborations unlikely.

“If there was something between them, he wouldn’t be here, right?” she said, dismissing the gossip. Despite maintaining a dignified stance, Yash Chopra, the director of Silsila, later added fuel to the speculation. In a BBC interview, he stated that the emotions in the film reflected reality, making it one of his most nerve-wracking projects.

Even after all these years, the alleged affair between Amitabh and Rekha continues to intrigue fans. Whether it was real or just tabloid fodder, the secrecy and tension surrounding it make it one of Bollywood’s most unforgettable stories. Meanwhile, Jaya and Amitabh have remained together, proving that their bond has endured despite the whispers of the past.

Maulana Razvi has expressed strong disapproval, stating that as a Muslim, Salman Khan should avoid symbols associated with other religions. He referred to the act as “haram” (forbidden) under Islamic law and urged the actor to be mindful of his influence, especially given his large Muslim fan following.

Varalaxmi Sarathkumar reveals she was abused by six people as a child

In a deeply emotional moment on the sets of Zee Tamil’s dance reality show Dance Jodi Dance Reloaded 3, actor Varalaxmi Sarathkumar broke down while recounting her traumatic experience of being sexually abused as a child. The revelation came after contestant Kemy shared her own story of surviving harassment by family members. Moved by Kemy’s words, Varalaxmi revealed that she, too, had suffered similar abuse, with five to six people assaulting her when she was young.

The actor, known for her work in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films, explained that her parents, veteran actor Sarathkumar and Chaya were working at the time, leaving her in the care of others. “Your story is my story,” she told Kemy, hugging her in solidarity. “I don’t have children, but I always tell parents to teach kids about ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch.’ It’s so important.”

The curse of Karan Johar: How Bollywood’s ‘star maker’ keeps failing newcomers

A LOT has been said about Karan Johar being a brilliant mastermind when it comes to launching new talent, including children of famous film stars.

While he deserves some credit for working with newcomers, Johar’s track record with aspiring actors is poor, and for many, it has turned out to be more of a curse than a blessing. A strong first film typically sets up a debutant for a solid career in cinema, but when it fails, the individual is often left swimming against the tide. This is exactly what has happened with Ibrahim Ali Khan, whose recently released disastrous debut movie Nadaaniyan has been a major setback.
