Rekha and Jaya Bachchan Embrace at Awards

At the 2015 Star Screen Awards, a touching moment unfolded when Rekha unexpectedly embraced Jaya Bachchan after Amitabh Bachchan was announced as Best Actor for his role in 'Piku.' The viral clip of this warm interaction has resurfaced, showcasing a rare display of camaraderie between the two actresses, previously thought to have a strained relationship. As Amitabh walked to the stage to accept his award, both Jaya and Rekha stood, with Rekha rushing to hug Jaya and applauding together. This moment is particularly significant given the historical context of Rekha and Amitabh's past, including their iconic film 'Silsila' in 1981, which was marred by rumors of an off-screen affair. In a 2004 interview, Rekha acknowledged her feelings for Amitabh but maintained that there was never a personal connection. The event has captivated audiences, highlighting the complexities of relationships in Bollywood.
