In the several occassions, rekha spotted wearing a Sindoor on her head. Some people think that it is her style statement but for are suspicious if she wears sindoor for Big B.

Here is the story of failed love affair of Bollywood legends:

1. Amitabh and Rekha fell in love on the sets of the movie "Do Anjaane," 1976.

2. This romantic couple used to date in a bungalow that belonged to Rekha's friend.

3. Big B got angry on a co-actor who was misbehaving with Rekha during the shoot of "Ganga Ki Saugandh", which was the U turn in their story and nothing remain secret after this incident.

4. And dating rumors got more in the news when Rekha was seen wearing Sindoor and Mangal Sutra at the wedding of Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh.

5. After such a incident, jaya bachchan invited Rekha at her home and told her that "she would never leave her husband at any cost".

6. In 1984, in an interview with filmfare magazine Rekha talk about her relationship with Big B.

She said, "Why should he have not done it? He did it to protect his image, his family and his children. Why should the public know of my love for him or his love for me? I love him and he loves me- that's it! If he'd reacted that way towards me in private, I would have been very disappointed. Mr. Bachchan is still old-fashioned. He doesn't want to hurt anybody so why to hurt his wife?"

7. Amitabh Bachchan never expressed her love for Rekha in public.

Yash Chopra said in an interview "I was always on tenterhooks and scared (during Silsila) because it was real life coming into reel life. Jaya is his wife, and Rekha is his girlfriend, and the same story is going on (in real life). Anything could have happened because they are working together."

As a couple their last movie was 'Silsila'.

8. They broke up after movie 'Silsila' and instead of settling down with the tag of 'other woman' in Big B's life, Rekha preferred to end their passionate love story.
