Big B & Rekha

Amitabh Bachchan & Rekha seems to be in news off late for various reasons. Firstly, when Rekha had suddenly turned up at a suburban hotel during Big B’s 60th birthday bash, uninvited. She had stormed into the lobby and quickly ducked out without actually entering the venue. Secondly, there are rumours of the two coming together in Anees Bazmee’s Welcome Back and the recent one being, a photo of the two together in a aircraft which got viral on the internet.

While there is no confirmation about the two working together, the photograph was a real one and was not morphed.

An insider close to Mr. Bachchan revealed, “Amitji was not aware of the other passengers on board. There were many Bollywood personalities travelling to Chennai for a celebration of 100 years of cinema. It is a sheer coincidence that they ended up on the same flight. If someone is trying to suggest a rendezvous here, it is ridiculous. Because if that were the case, they would ensure they weren’t on the same flight.”

Well Rekha’s presence on the same flight was a co-incidence or not is best known to them but the fact is that they never came face-to-face before during or after the flight to Chennai.

However, sources close to Big B are disgusted by reports claiming he and Rekha are coming together for a film. Says an insider, “He is not doing that film. He isn’t aware of who the other actors in the film are.”
