Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Rekha's
love
story
has
always
been
one
of
the
most
talked-about
romances
in
the
industry.
The
controversies
surrounding
the
alleged
affair
made
it
more
scandalous.
Neither
of
the
two
confirmed
or
denied
the
rumours,
and
Amitabh's
wife,
Jaya
Bachchan's
reaction,
or
maybe
the
lack
of
one,
to
the
dating
rumours,
has
also
been
a
hot
topic.
However,
according
to
a
report
in
Bollywoodshaddis.com,
when
Jaya
couldn't
take
the
press
reports
and
the
rumours
in
the
industry
any
longer,
she
invited
Rekha
for
a
dinner
at
home
when
Amitabh
Bachchan
had
gone
out
of
Mumbai
for
a
shoot.
In
an
old
interview,
Rekha
herself
had
revealed
to
Stardust,
that
she
was
invited
for
dinner
by
Jaya
Bachchan
and
accepted
the
invite
thinking
there
would
be
an
argument.
Rekha
said
Jaya
Bachchan
had
welcomed
her
with
open
arms,
showed
her
the
entire
house
and
they
spoke
about
everything
under
the
sun
but
Amitabh
Bachchan.
The
portal
quoted
Rekha
saying,
"Jaya
did
not
mind
the
relationship
as
long
as
she
thought
her
husband
was
only
having
a
fling.
It's
when
she
realized
that
he
was
really
emotionally
involved,
that
is
when
it
began
hurting
her.
She
called
me
for
dinner
one
evening
and
though
we
spoke
about
everything
but
him,
before
I
left
that
day,
she
made
sure
to
tell
me,
"I
will
never
leave
Amit
whatever
happens".
Rekha
also
talked
about
being
referred
to
as
the
other
women
and
said
that
no
one
wanted
to
know
her
side
of
the
story.
She
also
praised
Jaya's
conviction
and
added,
"No
one
cares
about
what
I
have
to
say.
I'm
basically
the
other
woman
na?
Parents
are
also
embarrassed.
Which
parents
will
not
be
when
their
son
has
an
affair?
And
image
ki
baat
hain
na.
No
one
looks
inside.
The
other
party
has
this
cute
bechari
image
which
fits
beautifully.
The
impression
is
good
na?
I'm
free.
The
other
person
can't
do
that.
Can't
leave
him
and
go
away.
Mind
you,
this
is
a
very
good
quality.
If
you
can
kill
your
desire
and
stick
to
someone
in
spite
of
knowing
that
this
person
loves
somebody
else,
stay
under
the
same
roof.
It
shows
strength.
I
must
give
her
credit.
It's
a
plus
point
which
I
don't
possess.
I
won't
compromise.
Give
and
take
theek
hain.
But
you
might
finish
off
the
relationship
if
you
compromise."
Even
years
later,
the
Bachchan
family
still
avoids
bumping
into
Rekha
during
public
events
and
parties.
Deccan
Chronicle,
after
the
release
of
102
Not
Out,
reported,
"All
this
affection
towards
the
Bachchan
family
is
very
uncomfortable
for
them.
Abhishek
and
Aishwarya
are
too
polite
not
to
reciprocate.
But,
Jayaji,
who
is
not
known
to
hide
her
feelings,
makes
her
discomfort
at
Rekhaji's
PDA
quite
obvious."
