When Amitabh Bachchan Lost His Cool & Beat Up A Man Who Passed Offensive Comments On Rekha

When Amitabh Bachchan starrer Zanjeer was released in the year 1973, everyone saw Big B’s different avatar and since then he has been given the title, ‘Angry Young Man.’ However, in real life, the Piku star is considered a soft-spoken and calm person, but in 1977 when the megastar was shooting for Ganga Ki Saugand he lost his cool at a man and the reason was Rekha.

The two were considered as the perfect couple of B-Town as they often made headlines over their fondness for each other. However, due to some reason, the two broke up and AB was later married to his Sholay co-star, Jaya Bachchan.

Although Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha never spoke about their alleged relationship, an incident on the sets of Ganga Ki Saugand became the talk of the town. According to Rekha’s biography by Yasser Usman titled Rekha – The Untold Story, “In 1977 Sultan Ahmad’s dacoit flick, Ganga Ki Saugand, was being filmed near Jaipur. During an outdoor shoot, a huge crowd had gathered to catch a glimpse of the stars.”
