Vintage moment from shoot The viral photo, shared on Reddit, quickly grabbed the attention of film lovers—not just for its vintage appeal, but also because it captures Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha during a period that remains one of Bollywood's most talked-about chapters. Casting that shocked Bollywood Directed by Yash Chopra , Silsila starred Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan , and Rekha in a love triangle that closely resembled real-life rumours. Amitabh played a writer who marries Shobha (Jaya) after a tragedy but continues to have unresolved feelings for his former love, Chandni (Rekha), leading to a deeply emotional and complex situation. What made Silsila particularly bold wasn't just its storyline, but the casting. In a later interview with Shah Rukh Khan , director Yash Chopra admitted that bringing together Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Rekha was one of the most difficult decisions of his career. He called it one of the most daring and memorable casting choices in Indian cinema. An unexpected reunion At the time, reports claimed that Bachchan had allegedly vowed never to work with Rekha again, making Silsila an unexpected and talked-about reunion. For fans, the film blurred the line between real life and fiction, adding to its lasting intrigue. Decades later, this rare photo has reignited curiosity about the trio's off-screen equation. Though neither Amitabh nor Rekha ever confirmed a romantic relationship, the legacy of Silsila and their undeniable on-screen chemistry continue to fascinate audiences even today.
