<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nRekha\u2019s old comments about Amitabh Bachchan have returned to attention after a resurfaced interview reminded fans of one of Bollywood\u2019s most discussed relationships. In a 2004 episode of Simi Garewal\u2019s talk show \u2018Rendezvous\u2019, Rekha spoke about her feelings for Amitabh. She admitted she loved him, but also denied ever having a personal relationship with him. Their rumored bond has remained part of Hindi film history for decades, especially after their last film together, \u2018Silsila\u2019.<\/p>\n Rekha made the comments during her appearance on Simi Garewal\u2019s \u2018Rendezvous\u2019 in 2004. When Simi asked if she was ever in love with Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha did not avoid the question.She replied, \u201cAbsolutely. Duh, that\u2019s 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?\u201dRekha then added, \u201cWhat do I deny? I\u2019m not in love with him? Of course I am. Duniya bhar ka love (the whole world\u2019s love) aap le lijiyega (you can take it) and add some more, I feel that for that person. Bottom line.\u201dHer comments became one of the most quoted moments from the interview. Rekha\u2019s words also stood out because she spoke with unusual directness about a subject that had long drawn public attention.<\/p>\n In the same interview, Rekha also addressed the rumors around her and Amitabh. She said there was no personal relationship between them and denied the long-running speculation.Rekha said, \u201cThere was never a personal connection with him; that\u2019s the truth. Never ever. There was no truth to the controversies and speculation.\u201dRekha and Amitabh worked together in several films and became one of Hindi cinema\u2019s most talked-about screen pairs. Their last film together was Yash Chopra\u2019s 1981 drama \u2018Silsila\u2019. The film also starred Jaya Bachchan and drew attention because its story was seen by many as close to the public gossip around the three stars.After \u2018Silsila\u2019, Rekha and Amitabh did not appear together in another film. Their association, however, continued to interest fans because of their screen chemistry, Rekha\u2019s candid comments and years of speculation around their equation.<\/div>\nRekha on loving Amitabh Bachchan<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
