Affairs, weddings, and divorces are common in Bollywood. One of the most infamous rumoured affairs was that of Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan. Though the affair was never confirmed, a lot of speculations were made. Both Amitabh and Rekha have worked in several movies. However, do you know that there was a time when, despite knowing the speculation about an affair between Amitabh and Rekha, Jaya Bachchan called Rekha for lunch and opened her heart in front of her?
Author Hanif Zaveri once revealed how Rekha came into Amitabh Bachchan's life. Though Amitabh tied the knot with Jaya, the speculations of Rekha and Amitabh growing close became stronger. Their chemistry in their films, especially in Silsila, added fuel to the fire, leading many to believe that it was a reflection of their real-life love triangle.
During his conversation, Zaveri said that Amitabh and Rekha's relationship deepened during the shooting of Do Anjaane. He recalled and said, 'This affection, this bonding, was formed during the shooting of the film Do Anjaane. They came very close, and I don't know how they fell in love with each other. But it was 100% certain that both of them started loving each other.'
Upon seeing the growing closeness, Jaya Bachchan planned to invite Rekha. After a warm lunch, when it was time to leave, Jaya, with her cutting words, said, 'Amitabh was, is, and will always be mine.'
However, a turning point came in Amitabh's life when he featured in Coolie and met with a fatal accident. It was Jaya Bachchan who had put her heart and soul into the recovery of Big B. Upon seeing this, Amitabh started to distance himself from Rekha.

This actress once dreamt of Amitabh Bachchan's accident, next day Big B got hospitalised due to..., her name was…
Amitabh Bachchan's near-fatal accident during the filming of his blockbuster movie Coolie remains one of the most discussed events in cinematic history. Currently, a fresh narrative regarding Amitabh Bachchan's Coolie mishap is gaining traction. Years back, on the birthday of Late Smita Patil, Amitabh Bachchan remembered how she had a sense of foreboding before his life-threatening accident. Amitabh Bachchan was filming Coolie in Bangalore when Smita Patil unexpectedly rang him at 2 am. When Smita Patil Called Big B The actor recalled and said, 'I was in Bangalore filming for Coolie.' Deep in the night, at approximately 2 am, I got a call in my hotel room. The receptionist told me that Smita Patil was on the phone. I was stunned since I had never conversed or communicated with her during that period. Believing it would be significant, I replied.' Big B further said, 'Smita inquired whether I was okay and in good health.' I replied affirmatively, and she mentioned that she had a troubling dream about me, which was why she called so late at night. 'The following day, I encountered my mishap,' The Incident That Shook the Entire Industry The following day, on July 26, 1982, Amitabh Bachchan suffered significant injuries while filming a combat sequence with actor Puneet Issar. In the scene, Puneet Issar was meant to hit Amitabh Bachchan in the stomach, but as Big B miscalculated his leap, he fell onto a table. As a result of this accident, his condition turned critical. He was promptly taken to Breach Candy Hospital, where he had multiple surgeries. Supporters nationwide offered prayers for his healing. Amitabh Bachchan's injury was so severe that he was pronounced clinically dead for several minutes before being placed on a ventilator. Reports indicate that former Prime Minister Late Rajiv Gandhi called off a visit to the United States to stay with him. At that time, Amitabh Bachchan was given 60 bottles of blood from 200 donors, and one donor tested positive for the Hepatitis B virus. Bachchan healed from the accident but learned in 2000 that the virus had caused cirrhosis of the liver, harming roughly 75% of his liver. Bachchan later shared his experience to promote awareness of the Hepatitis B vaccine. Despite the severe injury, the legendary actor made an impressive recovery and returned to filming on 7 January 1983. More About Smita Patil Smita Patil, often regarded as one of greatest and finest actresses in the history of Indian cinema, appeared in over 80 films in her short career. During this period, she featured with Amitabh Bachchan in notable films like Namak Halaal, Sharaabi, Shakti, Ghulaami and Pet Pyaar Aur Paap. Smita Patil tragically died at 31 due to childbirth complications.
