Jaya Bachchan had banned Rekha
Amitabh Bachchan listened to Jaya Bachchan and started moving away from Rekha. He did not work with Rekha in any film after the film ‘Silsila’. Then in 1983, an accident happened with Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of ‘Coolie’ and he was admitted to the hospital. His condition was quite serious then. According to Live Hindustan, Rekha could not bear hearing about Big B’s condition and she went to the hospital to meet him. But Jaya did not allow him to meet Amitabh Bachchan.
Rekha was shocked to see Amitabh’s condition
Amitabh Bachchan’s condition was said to be very serious at that time. Even the country’s former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had reached the hospital to meet him. In such a situation, how could Rekha stop herself? One day, before dawn, Rekha reached the hospital in the dark wearing a cotton saree to see Big B.
