An evergreen beauty of Bollywood, Rekha has always mesmerized the audience with her stellar acting skills, glamorous looks and graceful dance moves.
She started her acting career as a child artist in Telugu film in 1966 and quickly became a top actress in Bollywood.
Despite their undeniable on-screen chemistry and persistent rumours, both Rekha and Amitabh have never publicly acknowledged their relationship.
However, during a rare candid moment on Simi Garewal’s popular talk show ‘Rendezvous with Simi Garewal’, Rekha openly confessed her love for Amitabh, leaving fans and critics alike in awe.
When asked if she ever had a crush on Amitabh, Rekha passionately replied, “Absolutely. Ugh, that’s a stupid question. I have yet to come across a single man, woman, child who could help but fall completely, passionately, madly, desperately, hopelessly in love with him.
So why should I be singled out? what am i denying am i not in love with him? Of course I am. Duniya bhar ka i love aap le lijiyega and add more – I feel for the person. Bottom Line.”
This clip of her heartfelt confession is resurfacing on the internet and reigniting discussions about their legendary love story.
After Yash Chopra’s 1981 film Silsila, they were never seen together on screen, and as Rekha admitted in an interview with Simi Garewal, they only met at public events and award functions.
