What was the reason Amitabh Bachchan & Rekha decided not to marry?

 Amitabh and Rekha's love story is one of the most talked-about affairs of Bollywood even till date.

An unsuccessful love story

Their love story began on the sets of film Do Anjaane (1976), when Amitabh was a married man.

During the shoots of Ganga Ki Saugandh (1978), Big B reportedly lost his temper on a co-actor who was misbehaving with Rekha. After this, their affair came in the limelight and grabbed the media attention. The two denied the affair, but it is loud and clear that the two were dating each other. In one of the interviews, Silsila director, Yash Chopra confirmed their relationship!

The gossip mills started churning out stories of Rekha-Amitabh's affair. They even made headlines saying that Rekha and Amitabh have got secretly married. And, these speculations caught more fire when Rekha made a sensational entry at Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh's wedding, wearing sindoor and mangalsutra. The attention of everyone present at the wedding shifted to Rekha and her much-married look! People started whispering that has Rekha tied the knot!

When Jaya came to know about the affair

It was reported that after this incident, Jaya Bachchan invited Rekha home for dinner and told her candidly that she would never leave her husband whatever may happen. And likewise, Jaya kept her promise till the very end. Rekha finally realised that she either want to be Mrs. Bachchan or stay single!

In an interview given to Filmfare magazine in 1984, Rekha spoke about Amitabh’s denial of their relationship. She said, "Why should he have not done it? He did it to protect his image, his family, his children. Why should the public know of my love for him or his love for me? I love him and he loves me- that’s it! If he’d reacted that ways towards me in private, I would have been very disappointed.”

She further added, “Mr. Bachchan is still old-fashioned. He doesn’t want to hurt anybody, so why hurt his wife?”

Rekha wears sindoor for Big B?

Well, even though Rekha and Amitabh went their separate paths afterwards, but it is well-known that Rekha has always seen making appearances supporting a sindoor on her forehead. While most people for long dismissed it to be Rekha's unique style statement, Deepali Issar, actor Puneet Issar's wife believes it to be otherwise. She once revealed, "Rekha wears sindoor for Big B."

Rekha still in love with Amitabh?

Some say that Rekha is still smitten by Big-B. In one of her interviews to Hindustan Times in 2008, when the journalist asked her if she would like people to stop connecting her to Mr. Bachchan, she immediately replied, “Why? I hope not. Mr Bachchan is one of the best things to have happened in my life. The best teacher, the best guru. Well, I’ve chosen to learn as much from his off-camera.. as from his on-camera demeanours.”

What is the story of Jodha Bai? How/why did she get married to Akbar?

 The story of the Mughal Emperor Akbar and Jodha Bai has been turned into a romantic tale by many. As a result of this romanticization of this relationship in the modern world, many people assume Jodha Bai to have been similar to what Mumtaz Mahal was to Shah Jahan. The truth is quite the opposite.

Let’s begin with the name. Her name was actually Mariam-uz-Zamani. Though this was not her birth name. Her real name in lost to us, but she is known by many names. Names such as Harkha Bai or Harkhan Champavati. The Mughal sources refer to her as Mariam-uz-Zamani. One thing to note is that her name was never Jodha Bai. This is a very popular misconception.

Depiction of Mariam-uz-Zamani.

The marriage between Akbar and Mariam-uz-Zamani was never a love affair. It was a political union. Mariam-uz-Zamani was the daughter of Raja Bharmal, the Rajput ruler of Amber. He was in conflict with and being harassed Sharif-ud-din Mirza, the Mughal governor of Mewat and Akbar’s brother in law. Raja Bharmal asked Akbar to intervene in the matter. In return, Raja Bharmal had to submit to Akbar and this was to be solidified via marriage. Mariam-uz-Zamani was to marry Akbar. As it can be seen, the marriage was completely political in nature.

The marriage took place on 6 February 1562 in Sambhar. At the time of marrige, both of them are believed to have been around twenty years of age. This union bound the family of Raja Bharmal into the service of the Mughals. This was not the only marital alliance between the Mughals and Rajput rulers. There were many others as well.

Despite the common misconception, Mariam-uz-Zamani received no special treatment from Akbar. She was just one of the many wives and concubines of the Mughal emperor. She only rose in status after she gave birth to Akbar’s eldest son, Jahangir, in August 1569. She was granted the title Mariam-uz-Zamani, the name used for her by the Mughal sources.

She rose in rank and influence after the death of Akbar. Akbar was succeeded by his son Jahangir, Mariam-uz-Zamani’s son. The reason that she became more well known and influential was because of her status as the mother of the new Mughal Emperor. Not because of any special relationship that she previously had with Akbar.

Why did dream girl Hema Malini marry Dharamenderji in spite of knowing he is already married?

 Take a walk down memory lane and revisit the super charming love story of dashing Dharmendra and timeless beauty, Hema Malini.

She was Indian cinema's 'Dream girl', and he was the original He-Man of Bollywood. What happened when the two met? Nothing less than a sizzling love story is bound to flourish when two people with drop-dead gorgeous looks come together. The yesteryear superstars, Hema Malini and Dharmendra, fell in love with each other in the year 1970, on the sets of Tum Haseen Main Jawan. That time, Dharmendra was already married to Prakash Kaur, and had two sons, Sunny and Bobby. But, that did not stop him from falling in love with Hema and wooing her. At that time, Hema also had turned down several other marriage proposals from actors like Sanjeev Kumar and Jeetendra.

Initially, Hema did not reciprocate to Dharmendra, as at that time she was not keen on getting involved with a married man. Hema Malini's biography says that she got attracted to Dharmendra because he was strong and silent like her mother. The actress finds her husband very romantic. and says he still looks at her the way he did in their first meeting.

In an interview, Hema Malini said that it was the song, Main Jat Yamla Pagla Deewana, wherein she fell for Dharmendra. She also revealed that it was his cute dance moves in the song, which made her fall in love with him immediately. It was rumoured, while shooting a particular scene in Sholay; Dharamendra lured the light boys with money to disturb the lights on the set. The continuous retakes gave him many chances to hold Hema Malini several times.

Neither age nor time has affected their love and affection for each other. They dated for 5 years before marriage happened.

Hema Malini’s father, just like any other father, was strictly opposed to their marriage, as he did not want his daughter to marry an already married man. Going by the media reports, Hema and Dharmendra, were so much in love with each other that they went against the will of their families .

Dharmendra’s first wife, Prakash Kaur, did not want a divorce. So Before marriage, they both converted to Islam and tied the knot in 1980.

Their Nikahnama stated, "Dilawar Khan Kewal Krishn (44 years) accepted Aisha Bi R. Chakravarty (29 years) as his wife on 21 August 1979 at a mehr of Rs 111,000 in the presence of two legal witnesses." The nikah, was kept as a secret, and later the couple also got married in Iyengar style since Hema Malini is an Iyengar.

Thrice love, once engaged and once married, yet Karishma did not find true love..

 

Born in the Kapoor family on June 25, 1974, no one had thought that she would not only give flight to her dreams by rebelling against the family, but would also make them come true. Actually, we are talking about Karishma Kapoor, who captured all the fans in the trap of her beauty from the film Prem Qaidi. Karisma's charisma was undoubtedly visible in the world of cinema, but her personal life was full of turmoil.

• Ajay Devgan first entered Karishma Kapoor's life. It is said that both came very close while shooting for the film Jigar. Even they had started on the path of love, but after some time both of them separated their ways.

The pairing was to be made with Govinda as well

• The pair of Karisma and Govinda appeared in many films. This pair was not only a super hit, but the fans also started liking it. Alam was that the discussion of the affair of both also started. In such a situation, Karisma Kapoor and Govinda distanced themselves from each other.

Salman's name is also included in the list.

It is impossible for Bollywood's Bhaijaan Salman Khan to show his mettle in a film and his name is not associated with the heroine of that movie. Same was the case with Karisma Kapoor. There were speculations about their affair. However, both never said anything on this issue.

Engagement with Abhishek broke

• Abhishek Bachchan also entered Karishma's life. Both were so immersed in each other's love that preparations for their marriage also started. However, this journey could be completed only till the engagement. After this their relationship broke up and Karisma was once again left alone.

The marriage didn't work either

Karisma Kapoor chose businessman Sanjay Kapoor as her life partner after being associated with many stars of the film world. Both were married during the year 2003, after which they had two children (a son and a daughter). However, they got divorced in 2016.

Why didn't Amitabh Bachchan marry Rekha?

 Because, he was married to Jaya and was the father of her kids - Shweta and Abhishek.

Rekha, Amitabh and Jaya in “Silsila”

Amitabh and Jaya’s marriage was not an arranged marriage. Amitabh and Jaya were in love since the time Amitabh saw Jaya on the set of film “Guddi”.

Amitabh at that time was a struggling actor trying to make his mark in the film industry while Jaya was an established star.

No one including Amitabh knew about the future of his movie carrier. Most of the people had written him off as his films flopped one after the other - almost a dozen films performed poorly at the box office before he could find success with iconic “Zanjeer”.

During his struggle phase, Jaya was a huge support for Amitabh. She adored him and loved him. During shooting of the film “Bawarchi”, Rajesh Khanna, who was reining superstar at that time asked his co-star, Jaya Bhaduri - why is she wasting time on a person like Amitabh who seems to have no future in the film industry?

To which Jaya replied angrily - One day, Amitabh will be much more successful and bigger star than you.

Jaya’s words were so prophetic. Amitabh rose in stardom while Rajesh Khanna became a flop star in late 70s.

In Zanjeer (1973), when no established actress was willing to work with Amitabh considering that he was a newcomer, Jaya agreed to work as heroine of Amitabh in the movie. The point is Jaya has done a lot for Amitabh. She is not just a wife but a friend and a support system as well.

Year 1975 brought enormous success to Amitabh as his two movies Sholay and Deewar became box office blockbusters and went on to achieve legendary status in future.

Amitabh had arrived; there was no one who could challenge Amitabh in second half of the seventies.

This was the time when Amitabh met Rekha on the set of movie “Do Anjaane” (1976).

It was mutual love and they started meeting each other in private. This has been confirmed by many of Rekha’s co-stars and directors.

Actor Ranjeet said that Rekha wanted her evenings free while shooting a movie with him as she wanted to spend evening time with Amitabh.

Director Yash Chopra also confirmed in an interview that Amitabh and Rekha were in a relationship before “Silsila”

Rekha herself admitted her love for Amitabh in numerous interviews.

Though Amitabh never accepted the relationship publicly as he was married to Jaya all this while.

Rekha said that he did what he had to do to protect his image and his family.

Also, Amitabh owes a lot to Jaya as she was the one who believed in him in his early years when everyone else was sceptical of Amitabh’s acting prowess.

If we closely observe Amitabh, he has been a very cautious and risk averse person in his entire life. He doesn't go to the extremes. He has this inclination for stability, status quo and settlement.

When Amitabh was threatened by Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray for his alleged involvement in Bofors scam, he went to Matoshree (Thakeray’s abode) for Thackeray’s blessings.

Bal Thackeray and Amitabh Bachchan

When Jaya Bachchan said - Gandhi family betrayed us, Amitabh immediately issued a statement that Gandhis are kings and Bachchans are subjects, how can they be friends.

Amitabh doesn't like confrontation; he always goes for the compromise and tries to resolve the matter then and there itself.

With Rekha, he again chose the same path - path of stability, status quo and continuity of his marriage with Jaya.

He is not a person who will go to extreme length for his political ideology or for his love for that matter.

He will always take a U-turn if going becomes tough.

Same thing he did in politics. The moment his name cropped up in Bofors scandal and he was subjected to media scrutiny, he decided to withdraw from politics for ever. He didn't fight it out while being there in the political system. He chose to exit while his best friend Rajiv Gandhi was the prime minister at that time.

Rajiv Gandhi and Amitabh

With Rekha, he went ahead as he loved her but he didn't want to divorce Jaya and make their children’s life difficult. He wanted to come across as a family man who respected his parents, loved his kids and got along with his wife.

Given the situation and his mental makeup, eventually he didn't marry Rekha.
