That Time a Nosey Reporter Ruffled Amitabh Bachchan’s Feathers, Asking About His Rumored Fling with Rekha, Leaving Jaya Bachchan Fuming! | Bollywood Gossip Unleashed

Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves! Bollywood Newshound Nisha is back, sprinkling her uncanny wit and sass all over the latest Bollywood buzz. Today, we’re talking about the golden couple of Hindi cinema – Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan. Yeah, you know them – the ones who celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary on June 3rd. The duo who melt hearts on-screen and off-screen, setting couple goals for generations. But, as they say, even the sun has spots, and Bollywood’s “Big B” has had his share of rumors and controversies.

Now, let’s rewind to 1992, when Big B was celebrating his 50th birthday. Journalist Karan Thappar paid a visit to the superstar’s residence, Pratiksha, for an interview. As the conversation proceeded, Thappar, with his characteristic audacity, threw a curveball at Bachchan, “There have been a lot of stories of your alleged love affairs with actresses. After your marriage, have you had an affair with any other woman?”

“Certainly not!” retorted Big B, with a tone as firm and resolute as his performances. But our tenacious Thappar, not one to back down, pressed further, dropping names into the mix – Parveen Babi and Rekha. To both, Amitabh Bachchan denied any romantic involvement, expressing his inability to control the narrative spun by gossip magazines.

Then, as if the tension wasn’t already thick enough, Thappar turned to Jaya Bachchan, who was also present, and asked if she believed her husband. With unwavering confidence, she replied, “I always believe my husband.”

Post-interview, the mood was a bit sour, and it seems that the spicy questions had left a bitter taste. As the Bachchans settled down for lunch, Jaya Bachchan was trying to juggle the delayed rotis and Big B’s hunger. But when she offered him rice, his patience snapped. “Stop it. Just stop it, I’ve said I don’t want rice and I’m happy to wait for the rotis. Can’t you understand that? What’s the matter with you? Why can’t you just listen to what I’m saying?” he retorted.

Thappar, the silent observer to this domestic squabble, inferred that the interview’s probing questions had caused Big B’s outburst towards his wife.

And so, dear Bollywood fans, the moral of the story is – if you’re planning to drop by a superstar’s house for lunch, maybe skip the controversial questions, or else you might be served a heaping plate of drama alongside your meal!
