Rekha about the "other woman" (Stardust 1978) - Page 6

Bachchans are epitome of all regressive, chauvinist, patriarchal, superstitious, fatalistic, orthodox values.

I hate how all PMs promote this family.

Their fan following is a reflection of how backward this country is.

They are seen as ideal.

Jaya is so brainwashed that she does not even seem to think she is victim. She probably thinks she fought for her marriage and got to keep her man. And probably thinks wherever AB may go, atleast he always returns to her ultimately at home and she is the one who will always be Mrs Bachchan, Bachchan bahu and mother, grandmother of his official kids and grandkids. And probably takes heart in that alone no matter where AB goes philandering.

Both the women are fools to stick with such an a**hole. Actually the other woman is as much a douchebag as the cheater.

The other woman lives in delusional world most of the times. She just not only ruins life of other woman (wife) but also ruins her own life.

Dimple waa also criticized for not legally divorcing rakesh and looking after him in his last days for his property.She was also accused of being the other woman in sunny's life.

Jaya herself belonged to a famous, rich, well connected Bengali family and her dad wad reportedly a media mogul. She was not on roads who would not survive if not for AB.

That said, she does have stockholm syndrome for AB and her in laws. It is said she was ready to leave AB but her in laws stopped her.

I have NO sympathy for her or Rekha. No matter how one spins their life circumstances.

And I like Dimple for guts to get outta Rajesh's abusive house and do films, start own business.

Dimple is no saint. But why blame only her for not legally divorcing Kaka when the latter also did not legally divorce her and was having affairs and live in relationships with younger girls like Tina Munim?

Dimple is indeed other woman in Sunny's life and it is nothing to be proud of. She has her and her parents to blame for marrying Kaka at minor age and ruining her life so soon and not even completing her education or seeing world properly.

Rekha was in similar boat. No education or exposure. Pushed in acting at minor age. Acting like adult in a tender stage of life and messed up emotionally.

Rajesh was also blamed for many things.one of his gfs was saying that he wanted to marry her,but since dimple was not willing give him divorce, he couldnt marry her he didnt bother to divorce her bcz he was not planning to get married.but in old age when he wanted to get married he wanted divorce 😆.i just said about dimple bcz it was written that dimple deserved respect for leaving rajesh.but he had also lost respect in the eyes of many bcz of all this.means dimple had not left rajesh completely. She also kept in touch with him for the reasons other star wives are sticking onto their cheater husbands.

Rajesh was a weirdo, paedophile who married minor Dimple and abused her in domestic violence and stopped her from working. Took out frustration of own failures on her.

Dimple probably did not divorce him for property reasons. Remember the fight that ensued between his wife, daughters and live in GF for his property after he died?

I only like Dimple for never doing pativrata naari act like Jaya. I am not giving her more credit than that.

Rekha gossip is juicy. I did not like her rumors with Akshay though that was too much esp when he was with Raveena at the time. Plus she said she only liked AB Sr and kept his sindoor( very strange lady)

Amitabh would ask Rekha, Parveen to not work with Rajesh Khanna and did try machinations to get directors to cast him over others. He was also known to get makers to portray stories in such a way that he looked as main hero and others looked like supporting actors in multi starrers. He used his Gandhis connections to ensure DD showed his films on T.V. and documentary on him, over any other star.

That said, it is Vinod and Parveen who alleged he destroyed careers of theirs and Rishi also said he did not give credit to his co stars and Kader Khan also said Amitabh uses and dumps people like hot potato.

Rajesh Khanna did not directly blame AB but Parveen did say AB destroyed career of Rajesh Khanna.

Though I personally believe Rajesh Khanna was an overrated, dheela, one trick pony actor with no personality and he owes his popularity to songs and explicit scenes with one night stands with heroines and showing relations out of wedlock which must have excited hormonal audience of that era. His films are regressive and his dialogue delivery is slow and stretched. He was bound to fizzle out one day. He also let go of his own looks and health and had attitude issues, unprofessional ways due to which other actors began to get preference over him.

Rajesh was bound to have a downfall someday or other given his lack of versatility and taking his fame for granted.

Though most Khanna fans and haters of AB, Salim-Javed keep blaming them for destroying this one trick pony's career.

I just quoted what Parveen said and it is open secret AB ensured Rekha and Parveen refused films opposite Rajesh Khanna.

wow you have so much information. Thanks- it was good reading!👍🏼

I get it that AB played the game ruthlessly. But who doesn't, when the stakes are high. I can point to mny corporate situations and jobs where people compete ruthlessly. I am sure RK must have also played it aggressively. Just because he lost out, we shouldn't go whining about it... even though one were his fans. Also, did Rajesh Khanna really need Parveen Babi or Rekha to act opposite him without whom he didnt have any options? There's a song Humein Aur Jeene Ki that I remember- it has Rekha and RK in it. So i dont even buy into all that boycott allegation.

Dimple was sexier. I believe there was no dearth of men interested in her. That gives a woman a lot of options. Meanwhile, have you looked at Jaya- then or now?😉

seriously, if people started to walk out of relationships any time the other person transgressed, even if in serious ways, there would be no marriage. It's a stupid thing that feminists have come up... and they are the last people one should listen to. They strike me generally as not exactly a happy lot in their own lives. Bunch of hagged spinsters. 😆
