Rekha has always been candid about her relationship with Amitabh Bachchan. The rumoured love triangle between Amitabh Bachchan Rekha and Jaya Bachchan still intrigues their fans. The trio last starred together in Yash Chopras Silsila (1981) which ignited the rumours of an affair between Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha. The actress candid remarks from an interview where she talked about her bond with the actor are now making waves on social media once again.
Rekha said Amitabh Bachchan is old-fashioned
In a 1984 interview with Filmfare Rekha reportedly discussed Amitabh Bachchans denials regarding their romance and talked about their feelings for each other. She mentioned that he did what he had to save his image and family but also said that they both love each other.

She stated Why should he have not done it? He did it to protect his image to protect his family to protect his children. I think it is beautiful I dont care what the public thinks of it. Why should the public know of my love for him or his love for me? I love him he loves me – thats it! I dont care what anybody thinks.

Rekha elaborated that the audience might pity her for her statements but shes not going to hide her feelings. She said If hed reacted that way towards me in private I would have been very disappointed. But has he ever done that? I ask you. So why should I care about what hes said in public? I know people must be saying bechari Rekha pagal hain uss par phir bhi dekho. Maybe I deserve that pity. Not that he has 10 rollicking affairs! Mr. Bachchan is still old-fashioned. He doesnt want to hurt anybody so why hurt his wife?
Rekha said Amitabh Bachchan is very important to her
To conclude the conversation she said that she cannot identify herself with anyone else and she doesnt care as long as shes with Amitabh Bachchan. She mentioned Nothing else matters. But as long as Im with that person I dont care. I cannot identify myself with anyone else. Dont publish this. For hell deny it. Then Ill affirm it. Then there will be a statement from his camp saying No no. she is nuts like Parveen Babi. Then Ill say No no. Parveen Babi is not here but here I am to issue a statement. Anyway why should I be talking to you about my personal life? I am a very creative person. I have lots of interests. People love talking about my personal life. But I want to keep it to myself. Mr. Bachchan is important to me not to anybody else.

Allegedly the rumoured affair between Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha began on the sets of Dulal Guhas Do Anjaane in 1976 when he was already a married man. However he denied the rumours of the said affair.
