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.

Green Day hits back at Charli XCX’s ‘headliner’ claim with cheeky Coachella comeback

During the first weekend of Coachella 2025, Charli XCX drew attention beyond the stage when she showed up to an afterparty wearing a sash that said “Miss Should Have Been a Headliner.” The accessory quickly got people talking, with many seeing it as a subtle jab at Green Day, who headlined the Saturday night slot right after her set.

The pop star’s statement quickly caught attention online and fans were divided. Some saw it as a playful flex, others took it as shade aimed at the veteran rock band. Green Day, true to their punk roots, didn’t stay quiet for long. During their Weekend 2 performance, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong acknowledged the moment by donning a green “Brat” cap as a nod to Charli’s latest album of the same name. It was subtle, but unmistakably in on the joke.

Kamal Haasan’s ‘banana’ joke on Trisha sparks backlash, internet split over offensive humour

During a recent event for the upcoming film Thug Life, Kamal Haasan’s casual remark aimed at co-star Trisha Krishnan stirred more than just laughter. What was likely meant as a light-hearted moment has now triggered debate across social media, with opinions split on whether the joke crossed a line.

It happened during a promotional interview when Trisha was asked about her favourite food. She mentioned a boiled banana dish but struggled to recall its original name, ‘pazham pori’ or banana fritters. Kamal jumped in with a quip: “She doesn’t know the name but likes putting it in her mouth,” followed by a pat on her knee. Trisha laughed it off in the moment, but the clip quickly made its way online and not everyone was amused.

While in Doha for work, he stayed at the property and found himself drawn to the overall experience. “It just felt right,” he said.
