Not Just Rekha, Amitabh Bachchan Was Rumoured To Be Dating THESE Two Actresses Too

Mumbai: Actor Amitabh Bachchan's name has long drawn attention not just for his towering film career but also for persistent whispers about his personal life. While his alleged relationship with co-star Rekha remains the most talked-about chapter, bollywood's gossip mills have also linked him to other actresses over the years.

Was it just Rekha?

The talk about Amitabh and Rekha goes back decades. The duo met during the sets of the film 'Do Anjaane'. They were one of Hindi cinema's most popular on-screen pairs in the late 1970s and early 1980s, starring in hits like 'Suhaag', 'Mr. Natwarlal' and 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar'. Their final film together, 'Silsila', was a love triangle opposite Amitabh's real-life wife Jaya Bachchan, a casting choice many saw as echoing real life.

Rekha herself once famously responded to questions about their connection with a playful yet heartfelt remark about falling in love with him, though she denied an actual off-screen relationship. Amitabh has always stayed silent on this topic.

Who else was linked with him?

Beyond Rekha, rumours have floated about Amitabh and other actresses from his heyday.

Zeenat Aman, one of the popular face of golden cinema was also linked with Amitabh. The duo featured in several hits like 'Don', 'Laawaris'. Their affair circulated during their prime in the 1970s and 80s, but remained unconfirmed, with both actors maintaining professional ties and never publicly acknowledging a personal relationship beyond on-screen chemistry.

Another leading actress of the 1970s and 1980s, Praveen Babi, was close with Big during their many film collaborations, but nothing was ever confirmed publicly by the actors themselves.  The duo featured in several hits like 'Deewaar', 'Amar Akbar Anthony', 'Kaala Patthar' and 'Namak Halaal'.

There were occasional mentions on social media of other supposed connections, but these remain unverified and rooted more in industry gossip than confirmed reporting.

What do the stars say?

Rekha’s own comments over the years have kept the public guessing. On one talk show, she described her feelings for Amitabh in grand, sweeping terms but still drew a distinction between admiration and a real affair.

Amitabh has consistently chosen not to discuss his romantic life in public, focusing instead on his work and family.

Why does it still matter?

The Amitabh-Rekha narrative lives on partly because it involved two of Bollywood’s most iconic figures at the height of their fame. Their chemistry on screen and the media attention of the time helped the story endure. For many fans today, it’s less about verified facts and more about the legend and the nostalgia linked with that era of Hindi cinema.
