Not shocked at this at all. I don't know how true this is, but I have heard it said when BigB had his accident and was in the hospital, he kept whispering 'Rekha, Rekha' while Jaya was doing the round of temples praying for his life. 😒.
I feel sorry for Rekha too despite her choices, she had a horrible father and a terrible personal life. She is a survivor in every sense for me.
i don't think thats true...Amitabh was literally battling for life when he was hospitalized during the filing of Coolie...he was hardly conscious then..infact even the doctors had given up..yes Rekha had visited him but the sensational part was right after the visit at the hospital she declared to the media that she will donate some big amount of money at the Tirupati temple for Amitabh's recovery and the media had gone bersek with the news!
i don't know how much of the article is true but it has always been Rekha who had kept on hinting on an affair or being very close to amitabh..the bachchan household incl the kids have always maintained silence on the issue...if Jaya was insecure abt Rekha..why then did she agree to work in a movie with both of them that too having the same story of an extra marital affair?.
rekha had a troubled childhood...she always craved for attention..her father the famous gemini ganeshan never acknowledged her as his daughter as he was not married to her mother when she was born...she was raised in abject poverty even though her father was very rich..she was forced to work at the age of 14...and was taken advantage of..add to this her dismal luck in finding love...
in one of her interviews..she mentioned amitabh as someone who helped her in acting and career and someone she looked upto..infact its only when she started doing movies with him her performance really improved...god knows what went on between them..but inspite of jaya's so called insecurity amitabh has continued working with rekha in many movies...so i don't know but i feel this whole thing is just something blown out of proportion by media thanks to Rekha;s indirect hints and innunedos...its like she is feeding her own fantasy of being more imp to amitabh than whatever jaya was to him:)
anyway i like Rekha though..she was a fabulous performer and offscreen too there is something abt her hard not to like:)..
