The Silsila jodi of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha continue to make headlines even today. Recently when the veteran actress stepped out for Dabboo Ratnaniās 2019 calendar launch the actress grabbed headlines again because of Big B and this despite Mr Bachchan not being present at the do. It so happened that Rekha entered the venue looking every bit like her mysterious self in a black attire. The actress opted for cool shades and posed for the shutterbugs. However, the Muqaddar Ka Sikandar actress got suspicious on seeing the paparazziās excitement and turned around to see which photograph was situated right behind her.
What followed was amusing and entertaining in equal proportions. Rekha saw Amitabh Bachchanās portrait and gave a million-dollar expression that made the day for entertainment journos on a look out for scoop. Knowing Rekha one can never really say whether it was an impromptu reaction or then a well-thought of move. Interestingly, Rekha who didnāt want to be clicked before Bachchan Srās picture earlier chose the same spot to strike a pose with The Dirty Picture actress, Vidya Balan.

Rekha always be herself. You can wear black at any time. You can wear it at any age. You may wear it for almost any occasion; a ālittle black frockā is essential to a womanās wardrobe. #rekha

This is not the first time though that Rekha was in news because of Big B. Here are other instances when the actress and her alleged ex grabbed headlines.
#The Flight Photo-Bomb: Way back in 2013 this picture of Rekha and Amitabh travelling in the same flight broke the internet quite literally. The duo was on the same flight when a gentleman requested Big B for a selfie and he obliged. But one could not miss Rekha in her trademark attire on the backseat trying hard to avoid being in this frame.
#Rekhaās vermillion stole the thunder from Rishi Kapoor ā Neetu Singh wedding: In his book, Rekha ā The Untold Story, Yasser Usman talks about an instance that not only left the film industry shocked, but apparently also left Jaya Bachchan teary-eyed. The Amitabh ā Rekha love story created a storm in the industry and the single actress came donning a vermillion at Neetu Singh- Rishi Kapoorās wedding. As per the book, the actress entered the venue and walked straight up to Amitabh Bachchan and the duo was engrossed in conversation. Guests were shocked to see Jaya Bachchan break down. The episode became the talk of B-town as many wondered if Rekha had tied the knot secretly and were guessing about the man she wore the vermillion for.
#Rekhaās love confession: It was perhaps the first time that Rekha admitted her love for Amitabh Bachchan on camera. On Rendezvous With Simi Garewal, Rekha on being asked about her love for Amitabh Bachchan said, āHe was something I'd never seen before. I've never met anyone like him. How can so many good qualities be bestowed upon one person? I'm not a fool, I'm intelligent or so I'd like to believe. When I see a good thing, I can recognize it. Absolutely. Duh, that's a dumb question. I have yet to come across a single man, woman, child who can help but fall completely, passionately, insanely, desperately, hopelessly in love with him. So why should I be singled out? What do I deny? I am not in love with him? Of course, I am.
Duniya bhar ka love aap le lijiyega and add some more, I feel that for that person. Bottomline.ā
The actress had also said, āThe fact that he was a married man doesn't make any kind of a difference. A rose is a rose is a rose. A human being is interesting, period. I want to have the honour of being associated with this person so what is stopping me? I'm not here to 'break' his home so to speak. I'm here to be one of the lesser mortals who can just have a whiff of him and feel happy.ā
#When Big Bās win made Rekha cry: Almost over a decade ago, the Shehanshah of Bollywood was awarded a Lifetime Achievemnt Award. Rekha was seated at a little distance from Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan. However, when the announcement was made and Bachchan went to receive it, Rekha moved right next to Jaya and got emotional too. Pictures of a teary eyed Rekha standing next to Jaya and trying to be a part of Bachchanās special moment just added fuel to rumours of the 80s. The actress hugged Bachchanās wife, but had no interaction whatsoever with Amitabh Bachchan himself. No, she did not even wish him congratulations. Big B of course continues to keep a safe distance from his Silsila co-star.
