After two years of low-key celebrations, B-town is all geared up for jubilant Diwali celebrations and star-studded parties where actors, directors, producers, and celebrities will show up to add additional sparkle to the festive spirit. Considering the industry has turned a corner after two challenging years, this year’s Diwali celebrations are expected to be even more special than ever before. The fraternity is looking forward to ushering in the hope, abundance, and joy of the festive season on a glittering note.

Shilpa Shetty, Producers Anand Pandit, Ekta Kapoor, and Ramesh Taurani, Taapsee Pannu, Kriti Sanon, Bhumi Pednekar, and designer Manish Malhotra are expected to host lavish Diwali celebrations for their industry friends. Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, whose film ‘Doctor G’ is running successfully in theatres, also recently hosted a star-studded pre-Diwali bash for his friends.
According to the sources among the most eagerly awaited Diwali party, this year is producer Anand Pandit’s annual bash at his residence where apart from megastar Amitabh Bachchan top B-Town celebrities like Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Hrithik Roshan, Jeetendra Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee, Varun Dhawan, Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon, Raj Kumar Rao, and Kapil Sharma, are also expected to be present.

When Rekha Saw Jaya Crying Over Her Romantic Scenes With Amitabh

By LokMarg 10th October 2022

Even though it has been several decades since rumors of the love triangle between Rekha-Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan were rampant, the subject of their romance still has a certain spark.

While Amitabh and Jaya have remained tight-lipped about this alleged affair over the years, this has not been the case with Rekha, who never shied away from talking about it.

Back in 1978, during an interview with Stardust, Rekha spoke about how she saw Jaya getting hurt and being emotional while watching intimate scenes between her and Amitabh in their film ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’.

“Once, I was looking at the whole (Bachchan) family through the projection room when they came to see the trial show of ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’. Jaya was sitting in the front row and he (Amitabh) and his parents were in the row behind her. They couldn’t see her as clearly as I could. And during our love scenes, I could see tears pouring down her face,” she said.

Rekha added, “A week later, everybody in the industry was telling me that he has made it clear to his producers that he was not going to work with me.”

Rumors at the time suggested that after reports about Amitabh and Rekha’s alleged affair had surfaced, these caused a rift between Jaya and Rekha though they had been friends earlier.

‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’, released in 1978, had been the last film starring Amitabh and Rekha until Yash Chopra got them and Jaya to star in his 1981 film ‘Silsila’. (ANI)
