He is the original badshah of Bollywood and she is the desi Cleopatra, who has rebelled against time and, even in her 50s, can give any size-zero actress a run for her money. Yes, we are talking about the most talked about affaire de coeur of Hindi...

Can’t just avoid my fascination for real-life love-stories ! More, for the ones who resulted ( so far ) into dead-ends.

Was an affiar of Amitabh and Rekha already ended ? Years ago ? ...Or was that just a Big pause ?

Do they still love each-other !?

...I think, they do :)

God Bless Each of Us.

Ummm...Won’t be very interesting to see what kinds of sparks fly when Bib B meets old Flame Rekha!

Can we give it a break now? The story has been running for ages now, isn’t it?
Let them have some peace.
2 Stars
Well, who is eating their ’peace’ off !??

Here I am giving the ’high regards’ to the love, the feelings, the silent relationship - they have been into.

And yes, the story has been running for ages now... But see, the glamour still persists :)

As long as there are stars in the sky,
As long as the rivers object to run dry;
The silent lovers shall go on to crave,
Though sometimes in open, but mostly shy.

WELL, I don’t really know but I can definitely suggest if it was/had been a true sort of love, you can never deny the ember a chance to go up in flames once more.

Everyone has a love story in the young age. It does not matter wheather he is a celebrity or common man. But media gives emphasis to whatever the celebrities do. Public talk about them, because they are public figure.

We should leave them now. It’s an old story, like any other story.

If such a project does happen (Amitabh-Rekha), the two of them will be doing it for different reasons.

Amitabh is interested in it for the good opening such a flick will get because of the hype around the old romance. The guy is absolutely money-minded.

Rekha will do it for emotional reasons. Rekha still loves ”Amitji” even today. She is a very passionate lady.

Well said Ranaji :)

BINGO !!!

Let’s observe this Image - meticulously.

How delighted Ms.Rekha is. On the prospect of being captured with Amitji. See how generously she is welcoming Camera. See that child’s smile on her face.

It’s very visible, Rekha - has still got the old Emotions retained.

And now let me take a note of Amitji’s gestures. Ummm... Seems the guy is kinda ’reluctant’ !? I can see his conscious attempts of keeping his facial expressions to be ’minimal’. Or rather ’nil’ !? Showing a ’back’ to somebody who loved him for years !?

Not fair Amitji... Sure, you have a family today. But then again, she is an ’old friend’, ain’t she !?

we haven't heard much about the two for more than two decades now. this is fresh news and may have the right ingredients to make the previous generation nostalgic. rekha and amitabh's romance is a blockbuster news event and so every channel is keeping a keen ear out to catch those rumours.

And we can make another Silsila........ Silsila v2.0 like we had Don 2.0. In any case the world silsila means serial. This must not stop, the Amitabh-Rekha saga. The Abhishek-Aiswarya affair was too quick and bland for public taste.

True. I too, believe as if Amitabh-Rekha affiare is still catchy, captive, interesting, attractive !

May be because it didn’t result into ’marriage’ - and hence, failed to loose its ’charm’ !?

This love story is Maha-boring :-P

Hey then why would you even want to come over this page ( this too - repeatedly ), read off something which is ’maha-boring’, and then take an extended trouble giving some comments on !

Oh dear... Don’t bother too much :)

Well, the story seems to have ended too soon. Amitabh Bachchan has told the press that the rumour about his appearing in a flick with Rekha was ”ridiculous.”

That seems final. But I wonder why did Bachchan change his mind so suddenly within two days. Earlier he had said if the script was good, he was not averse. Now he dismisses the possiblity. Is it becasue an alarmed Jaya Bachchan frowned on the happenings?

Ohh.

That’s sad. For me, and I guess for Rekha too.

:D

I have similar feelings for Rekha. Sympathy. Poor thing. She is so passionate that she loved only one man in her whole life and that guy ditched her for a great career (leaving Jaya and marrying Rekha would have tarnished his reputation and his future prospects. It would have left Abhishek and his sister with a complex).

I wonder how flag waving feminists would deal with Rekha’s case? Talk of complexities of the man-woman relationship. Life is full of greys; there is little that is black and white.

”She is so passionate that she loved only one man in her whole life.”

Seriously. Hates off to a woman’s ”emotional commitment”.

And the great thing about her is that despite the fact that she did not ’get’ ”Amitji”, she has not turned bitter about the whole thing. She still blushes (according to media reports) when she sees Bachchan at social gatherings.

This is the stuff hit movies are made of. I wonder why this real life story hasn’t given ideas to Mahesh Bhatt?

Well, I guess Bhatt Camp will seize this opportunity as well.

May be they are waiting for much more spice to arise before they ”shoot” them off !?

Yes, I guess you are right. They are waiting for more dope before they fire. Mahesh Bhatt is usually quick on the draw. He was in the police station as soon as the naval guy (Jerome?) and his girlfriend (Susairaj?) were arrested for murdering Grewal.

In this case, is he scared of the might of the Bachchans? Amitabh has a lot of clout, you know.

Mahesh Bhatt hasn’t got the clue yet since he’s not active here on Instablogs. Well Rana ji, as soon as he senses a chance, he would definitely go for it. A person who can expose himself through his movies, doubtlessly, has enough guts to shake Bachhan saab.

Lolzzz.

Jokes apart - yep, in agreement with both Desh and Balbhadra.

:)

But guys, what if Big B impedes the whole idea !? He seems to have kept ’mum’ about the entire episode. Since ages.

You are right in the sense that Bhatt has the guts (or shamelessness?) to strip himself naked on the road, if he has a chance to make a quick buck out of it.

If his instincts say that there is a lot of money in the Amitabh-Rekha story, he will go hammer and tongs for it. I (like you) sincerely hope Bhatt chances upon Instablogs soon.

That, Vishaka, is because he has not exactly covered himself with glory over his affair with Rekha. Having an affair with another woman when you have a nice wife (and kids) at home and then ditching her is hardly worth an applause.

Amitabh has many skeletons in his cupboard of amour. Parveen Babi, Amrita Singh.... The list is long.

It’s VishakHa, Balbhadra. ”H” is missing. Sounds a little too obsessed for what is ’just a name’ right. Still I would have appreciated had I been spelled ”right”.

I am extremely sorry, Vishakha. My humble apologies. Though Shakespeare might say otherwise, the name is very important for an individual.

Just imagine if Amitabh’s name was Champaklal Bachchan! He has every reason to thank his mother for giving him such a ’heavy’ name.
1 Stars
Lolzzz.

Can’t stop my Laughters. Champaklal Bachchan ? Lolzzz.

Yes, I too would choose to differ from Shakespeare in the thought of ’Naam mein kya rakha hai’. ’Bahot kuchh rakha hai, boss !’ - It’s all about ’you’ in just a single word, it’s something that ’defines’ you.

And well... Apologies granted. Generously.
