Rekha and Jaya Bachchan's fiery scene over Amitabh Bachchan in 'Silsila' resurfaces: 'Wo mera pyaar hai...'
Amitabh Bachchan remains one of the brightest stars to ever grace Indian cinema. Over the years, many stories have linked him with his co-stars, but none have fascinated fans quite like the rumours involving him, his wife Jaya Bachchan , and actress Rekha . While much of this chatter has always lived in the realm of gossip, it was the 1981 film ‘ Silsila ’ that brought the trio together on screen a move that continues to intrigue audiences to this day.
The bold casting of ‘Silsila’
Released in 1981, ‘Silsila’ was a daring project by the late filmmaker Yash Chopra . Fresh off the commercial disappointment of his multi-starrer ‘Kaala Patthar’, Chopra wanted to create a comeback with a strong, emotional story. What he ended up doing was even more audacious — he cast Amitabh, Jaya, and Rekha in a film that mirrored the very rumours swirling about them in real life.
In the film, Amit abh played a playwright named Amit who finds himself caught between two women — his loyal wife Shobha, played by Jaya, and his former lover Chandni, played by Rekha. For fans and even casual observers, seeing these three together in such roles added an extra layer of curiosity, almost blurring the lines between cinema and speculation.
A scene that still captures hearts
Recently, a scene from ‘Silsila’ started making the rounds again on Instagram. It features a tense face-off between Rekha and Jaya’s characters, speaking about love, loyalty, and fate. In the scene, Jaya’s Shobha pleads, “Unka daaman chorr dijiye," urging Chandni to leave Amit. Rekha’s Chandni responds with calm intensity, “Ye mere bass mein nahi hai. Aur jo mere bass mein nahi wo main kaise kar sakti hu." Shobha then declares firmly, “Amit mere pati hai wo mera dharm hai," to which Chandni replies, “Wo mera pyaar hai aur mera pyaar meri kismat ban chuka hai."
Over this scene, the viral clip carries the words, “It still blows my mind that Yash Chopra was able to convince the two to do this scene."
Fans say, “When cinema was at its peak”
This old scene has brought a wave of love and comments online. Many people wrote things like, “The time when actors were not acting," and “When cinema was at its peak."
