The Love Story of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha

The love story between Amitabh Bachchan, known as the "Shahenshah" of Indian cinema, and Rekha is legendary in the film industry. Their first meeting reportedly took place on the set of Do Anjaane. At that time, Amitabh was already married to Jaya Bachchan, which prevented them from being together. Rekha married businessman Mukesh Agarwal in 1990, but their marriage lasted only seven months before his tragic passing. Since then, Rekha has been living her life independently.
