Rekha once kissed Abhishek Bachchan at an award show; Amitabh Bachchan's reaction sitting next to Aishwarya Rai was... Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan's love story with Umraoo Jaan actress Rekha is one of the most-discussed about topics in Bollywood's history. Both of them collaborated in several iconic movies such as Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Do Anjaane and Mr. Natwarlal . But, after Silsila , the two stopped working and were only spotted at award shows or other public occasions. However, there was a time when Rekha surprised everyone when she shared a warm hug with actor Abhishek Bachchan, son of Amitabh Bachchan at an award show. What was Amitabh Bachchan's reaction when Rekha kissed Abhishek? Rekha, known for her affectionate and warm personality, reportedly greeted Abhishek with a kiss, while Amitabh Bachchan was sitting next to her daughter-in-law, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Although Big B's expression was normal, but he did observe the kiss and chose not to react. At the award function, Rekha wore a stunning mustard-yellow sequin saree. She bended over and rested her hand over Abhishek's cheeks, who was seen decked up in a black suit. Aishwarya, who was sitting next to Amitabh, looked ethereal in a black shimmery saree, paired with a sleeveless blouse and middle-parted sleek bun. Big B, on other hand, was twinning with his son, in a formal black suit. Was Rekha truly in love with Amitabh Bachchan? In 2004, Rekha dropped an interesting bomb when she attended Simi Garewal's talk show Rendezvous. When asked Rekha if she was ever in love with Amitabh Bachchan, the veteran actress had admitted, 'Absolutely. Duh, that's 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? What do I deny? I'm not in love with him? Of course I am. Duniya bhar ka love aap le lijiyega and add some more – I feel that for that person. Bottomline.' At the same time, Rekha also denied being in a relationship with him, addressing all the rumours and controversies. 'There was never a personal connection with him, that's truth. Never ever. There was no truth to the controversies and speculation.' She had said.

When Rekha Revealed The ONLY And Biggest Compliment Amitabh Bachchan Paid Her: 'He Gave Me...'
Last Updated: Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha's electrifying on-screen chemistry has long fascinated fans. Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha's electrifying on-screen chemistry, especially in Silsila (1981), has long been a subject of fascination — fueling conversations, headlines and speculation for decades. While Silsila remains their most iconic and talked-about films, the duo shared screen space in several other films that showcased their effortless onscreen rapport. Some of their memorable films together include Muqaddar Ka Sikandar (1978), Mr. Natwarlal (1979), Suhaag (1979), Do Anjaane (1976), and Ram Balram (1980). Their pairing drew attention, sending fans into a tizzy and becoming symbolic of a golden era in Hindi cinema. In a special interview with Rediff, marking her 25 years in the film industry, Rekha had once reflected on her journey and shared some personal insights too. She revealed the best compliment Amitabh Bachchan had ever paid her — one that stayed with her — and also spoke with great respect about him. When Rekha was asked whether traces of Amitabh Bachchan's style can be seen in some of her performances, she responded candidly. She didn't shy away from the observation — in fact, she agreed with it. 'I don't deny it," she said, recalling how a critic once remarked that she had mimicked Bachchan in Madam X. 'I agreed with him." She went on to add, 'Look, when we started working together, we were at a very impressionable stage. Each one left his or her impression on the other. If you saw a crowd in those days from a top angle, you just saw a whole sea of heads with the Amitabh hairstyle. I worked with him in 10 films at an early stage of my career, spanning over so many years. How can I not be influenced?" she added. Opening up on the best compliment the megastar ever paid her, Rekha said that getting to work with him, in itself, is a compliment. She said, 'I think the only compliment he has knowingly or unknowingly paid me was that he gave me an opportunity to work with a great co-star like him. That is the biggest compliment I have ever received." Amitabh Bachchan is married to Jaya Bachchan and have two children – Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan. Rekha was briefly married to industrialist Mukesh Agarwal in 1990, the marriage ended tragically with his death the following year.
