Who does not remember the time when Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha were inseparable? They made for a perfect couple and fans wanted them to get married. However, Big B was already married to Jaya Bachchan. Jaya Bachchan was trying out everything to keep Rekha away from Amitabh. She is known to be someone who has an immense amount of patience when it came to handling husband Amitabh's love affair with Rekha. She never complained or fallen weak in front of the media or her friends regarding this topic. Amitabh Bachchan has never spoken about this anywhere. However, it is rightly said that somewhere there comes a saturation point. Yes, Jaya Bachchan had lost her patience and was completely out of control.
Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha were about to be cast in Ram Balram by producer Tito Tony. Jaya Bachchan was not happy with it and had some good connections in Bollywood. She recommended, Tito Tony, to cast Zeenat Aman for the film. However, Rekha couldn't take it when she came to know about being replaced. She knew producer Tito Tony wouldn't help and hence she went to director Vijay Anand and convinced him. At that time Rekha was the best actress hence when a star like Rekha approaching a director for work Vijay Anand could not refuse. However, he asked her to convince producer Tito Tony. Rekha gave the producer an amazing offer which he couldn't reject. Rekha decided to do the film for free. Hence she was cast and the shooting began. Jaya Bachchan was very angry and she tried convincing Big B so that he would reject the film but that did not happen.
Jaya Bachchan once paid visit on the sets and saw Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan speaking in private. She couldn't control her anger and in the heat of the moment went in front of the two and slapped Rekha. The entire cast and crew of the film was shocked to see this and Amitabh Bachchan didn't wait on the sets for even a moment.
