The controversial actor and self-proclaimed film critic Kamaal R. Khan, popularly known as KRK, has once again stirred social media with a post that’s rekindling old Bollywood gossip. On his Instagram account, KRK shared that a fan has requested megastar Amitabh Bachchan to post a selfie with veteran actress Rekha.
The post, which appears to be deliberately provocative, has caught attention among Bollywood followers due to the legendary status of both stars and their storied history in Indian cinema. The image accompanying the post shows text stating that a fan had asked Amitabh Bachchan to post a selfie with Rekha, though no further details were provided about when or where this request was made.
For those unfamiliar with Bollywood history, Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha’s rumored relationship has been one of the film industry’s most enduring topics of speculation. The duo worked together in numerous films during the 1970s and early 1980s, including classics like ‘Silsila’, ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’, ‘Mr. Natwarlal’, and ‘Do Anjaane’. Their on-screen chemistry translated into persistent rumors about an off-screen relationship, despite Bachchan being married to actress Jaya Bachchan.
The 1981 film ‘Silsila’, directed by Yash Chopra, is often cited as art imitating life, as it featured Amitabh torn between his wife (played by real-life wife Jaya) and his lover (played by Rekha). The film has since become iconic, partly due to the real-life parallels that audiences perceived.
Over the decades, both stars have maintained dignified silence about the nature of their relationship, neither confirming nor denying the rumors, which has only added to the mystique surrounding their story.
Kamaal R. Khan, who posted this provocative content, is well-known for his controversial social media presence. KRK is an Indian actor, producer, and critic who has appeared in Hindi and Bhojpuri films. He gained notoriety through his participation in the reality show Bigg Boss in 2009 and has since built a reputation for making contentious statements about Bollywood celebrities.
KRK’s post adds rekindles the biggest talking point that rocked the Bollywood at one time. It seems that the controversy has gone mainstream again.
