Well, it be interesting to know the story behind the throwback photograph.
Amitabh and Rekha's relationship
It may be noted that Amitabh and Rekha's relationship was one of the most controversial affairs in Bollywood. While Big B was already married to Jaya Bachchan, the news of his extramarital affair with Rekha made quite a few headlines and became the talk of the town. Reportedly, both the actors were head over heels in love with each other. However, the megastar always denied being in a relationship with Rekha.
In an interview in 1984, the Umrao Jaan actress accepted that they did have something between them. She also spoke about why Amitabh denied it.
"Why should he have not done it? He did it to protect his image, to protect his family, to protect his children. I think it is beautiful, I don't care what the public thinks of it. Why should the public know of my love for him or his love for me? I love him, he loves me - that's it! I don't care what anybody thinks," she said.
Rekha also said she will affirm the rumours every time Amitabh denies it. She said, "My reaction is not a typical reaction, I know that. But there's a total fulfilment. We are human beings who love and accept each other for what we are. There's more happiness in our lives than misery."
