One most talked about rumours was when Rekha arrived at Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor's wedding wearing sindoor and mangalsutra. While many claimed that it was linked with Amitabh, she later said in an interview that it was her costume and she had come straight from a film shoot. But the buzz had already spread like wildfire.

From her sensational role to her strong screen presence, Praveen created magic on screen like no other. But speaking of her personal life, her name was also linked to several actors like Kabir Bedi, Danny Denzongpa, and Mahesh Bhatt. However, what many don't know is that she reportedly dated Amitabh Bachchan, and their sizzling on-screen chemistry in Deewaar, Namak Halaal, and Amar Akbar Anthony was a witness.
Though none of these realtionships were officially confirmed, they remained a topic of conversation and gossip in the industry and among fans.

Bengaluru businessman fined Rs 38 lakh for evading road tax for Rolls-Royce cars linked to Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan
Karnataka transport officials Wednesday fined a Bengaluru businessman over Rs 38 lakh for driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom once owned by Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan and a Rolls-Royce Ghost previously belonging to Aamir Khan without paying the local road tax in the state. The luxury cars were found during an enforcement drive at the house of businessman-politician Yusuf Sharif, also known as KGF Babu. The operation was led by M Shobha, Joint Transport Commissioner, Regional Transport Officer (RTO), along with other officers. Officials found a Rolls-Royce Phantom bearing registration number MH02-BB-0002, registered in the name of actor Amitabh Bachchan, and a Rolls-Royce Ghost with registration number MH11-AX-0001, registered to Hardwyn India Inc, but reportedly originally belonging to actor Aamir Khan. According to RTO officials, both vehicles are now owned and regularly used by Sharif, who purchased them a few years ago from the Bollywood actors but failed to transfer ownership to his name. Transport department officials indicated that the Rolls-Royce Phantom has been in Bengaluru since 2021, and the Ghost since 2023. Officials added that Sharif was using the cars without paying the applicable state road tax in Karnataka. The transport department fined Rs 19.73 lakh for the Ghost, and Rs 18.53 lakh for the Phantom, both for long-term use of out-of-state vehicles in Karnataka without payment of local taxes — a violation under the Karnataka Motor Vehicles Taxation Act. However, officials did not seize the vehicles as the tax had been paid during the enforcement drive. Sharif made national headlines in 2021 when his Rolls-Royce car, worth Rs 2.01 crore (according to an affidavit) and which he bought second-hand from Amitabh Bachchan, was seized by RTO officials for road tax violation. The Income Tax department also conducted a search on his premises over tax evasion of Rs 13.43 crore. Sharif is a controversial figure with a rags-to-riches background. A native of Kolar Gold Fields (KGF), the mining town that inspired the blockbuster Kannada film series KGF, he earned the nickname 'KGF Babu'. From selling scrap in his early years, Sharif rose to become a real estate baron. Some detractors, however, claim Sharif has acquired his riches by stealing gold from KGF using muscle power. Sharuf has denied the allegations, and credits hard work for his wealth. In the 2021 Karnataka Legislative Council elections, he contested from the Bangalore Urban local authorities' constituency, declaring assets worth over Rs 1,744 crore belonging to himself and his family — one of the largest known declarations in the state. Sharif has four criminal cases pending against him, three of which he claims were based on allegations made while developing properties for his real estate business.
