Rekha denies personal connection with Amitabh Bachchan |

Long before Koffee with Karan happened it was Simi Garewal who had celebrities dishing out their secrets and baring their hearts. One such interesting interview took place in 2004 when Rekha graced Rendezvous with Simi Garewal. During this episode, Simi had straight away asked Rekha if she was ever in love with Amitabh Bachchan.
At that time, Rekha cryptically quipped that the love was that of a fan.”Absolutely. Duh, that’s a dumb question. I have yet to come across a single man, woman, child who can help but fall completely, passionately, insanely, desperately, hopelessly in love with him. So why should I be singled out? What do I deny? I’m not in love with him? Of course I am. Duniya bhar ka love aap le lijiyega and add some more – I feel that for that person. Bottomline,” Rekha had stated at that time.
Rekha also denied any personal connection to Big B and added, “There was never a personal connection with him, that’s the truth. Never ever. There was no truth to the controversies and speculation.”
The veteran actress had also hailed Jaya Bachchan and stated, “Didibhai is much more mature, much more together. I’ve yet to come across a woman who is so together. She’s got so much dignity, so much class. She’s got a lot of strength. I admire that woman. We had an association before the so-called rumours and the media messed up the whole image. We were living in the same building and we had a relationship. She was my Didibhai, she still is – no matter what happens nobody can take that away. Thank God she realises that too. Whenever we meet she’s very sweet – she’s not just civil, she’s just herself.”
