Whatever the offscreen shenanigans might be, there is no denying that Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan had great onscreen chemistry, perhaps one of the best in Indian cinema. From Khoon Pasina to Mr Natwarlal to Muqaddar Ka Sikandar to Silsila, their jodi was quite the superhit in those days, but whatever transpired in their real lives, made sure that Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha never worked together as an onscreen couple again. But that has not stopped Bollywood from doing a sneak attack and bringing them in a few movies together, though you may not have realised it at the time.
