A rare and heartwarming moment unfolded at the 2015 Star Screen Awards, where legendary actors Rekha and Jaya Bachchan shared the spotlight. In a now-viral video, Rekha surprised everyone by rushing to hug Jaya after Amitabh Bachchan was announced as the Best Actor for his role in ‘Piku.’ The atmosphere was charged with excitement.
However, it was Rekha’s spontaneous gesture of running to embrace Jaya that captured the attention of the audience and left many in awe.
When Amitabh Bachchan’s name was announced, both he and Jaya rose from their seats, ready to celebrate the moment. As Amitabh made his way to the stage, Rekha, who was seated at a distance, surprised everyone by rushing over to Jaya and giving her a warm hug. This unexpected display of affection was a powerful image, showcasing a bond that transcended past controversies and rumors.The dynamics between Rekha, Amitabh, and Jaya have long been a subject of public fascination. Rekha and Amitabh shared the screen in several memorable films, including ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar,’ ‘Mr. Natwarlal,’ and ‘Ganga Ki Saugandh.’ Their most notable collaboration, however, was in Yash Chopra’s ‘Silsila‘ (1981), which also featured Jaya. The film, despite its lackluster box office performance, became a cultural phenomenon, largely due to the rumored off-screen romance between Rekha and Amitabh.
In a candid 2004 interview with Simi Garewal, Rekha spoke openly about her feelings for Amitabh, admitting to being “in love” with him. She described her emotions as “passionate, insane, and desperate,” yet clarified that they never had a personal relationship, stating, “There was never a personal connection with him. Never ever.” This duality of admiration and distance has defined their relationship over the years.
Despite the complexities of their past, Rekha and Jaya have maintained a cordial relationship. Rekha has often praised Jaya’s strength and dignity, referring to her as “Didibhai,” a term of endearment that signifies respect and affection. In her interviews, Rekha has expressed admiration for Jaya, stating, “I’ve yet to come across a woman who is so together. She’s got so much dignity, so much class.”
