When Amitabh Bachchan allegedly forced a KISS on Amrita Singh at a star party

As Amrita Singh turns a year older today, nostalgia around her bold, unapologetic journey in Hindi cinema has come rushing back. A star who ruled the 1980s and early 1990s on her own terms, Amrita was known not just for her screen presence but also for her fiercely independent spirit. Over the years, many stories from her peak era have resurfaced, but few have sparked as much debate as a controversial party incident involving Amitabh Bachchan that once made headlines.

When a Party Turned Into a Headline

Back in the early 1990s, a popular film magazine carried a report that sent shockwaves through Bollywood circles. According to the article, Amrita Singh attended a high-profile party with friends, while Amitabh Bachchan arrived with actor Danny Denzongpa. The room, buzzing with industry insiders, soon became the setting for what would later be described as an uncomfortable moment.

The report claimed that Amrita struck up a friendly interaction with Danny and even asked him to dance. What seemed like a harmless exchange reportedly didn’t sit well with Amitabh. In what was described as a sudden and unexpected move, he allegedly pulled Amrita towards him and tried to kiss her. The incident, as per the report, left Amrita stunned and upset, leading to a long period of distance between the two actors.

Jealousy, Rumours and Old Sparks

Adding another layer to the story were whispers of Amrita’s closeness to Vinod Khanna around that time. Industry gossip suggested that her equation with Vinod had sparked quiet tension among leading men of the era. Some insiders later speculated that this mix of admiration, rivalry and bruised egos may have played a role in the uncomfortable party moment, though none of this was ever officially confirmed.

What remained consistent, however, was the narrative that Amrita chose silence and distance instead of feeding the controversy.

Where They Stand Today

Decades later, the industry has moved on. Amrita Singh stepped away from films after marrying Saif Ali Khan and later returned in strong character roles. Today, she is a proud mother of Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan, both carving their own paths in Bollywood. Amitabh Bachchan, meanwhile, remains one of Indian cinema’s most enduring icons, still active and celebrated.
