Indian cinema megastar Amitabh Bachchan has spent several decades in the film industry. He has contributed a lot. Be it a romantic role or an angry young man… he has breathed life into every character. This was a cruel era which sometimes rejected the actor’s voice and sometimes taunted him because of his height. Well, Amitabh Bachchan did not care about these absurd things. No matter how much taunt he received, he worked harder and finally got success.
Everyone knows about his hard work in the film industry. Similarly, his personal life has always been in the news. Be it a love story with Jaya Bachchan or an incomplete story with Rekha… everything has been heard and read a lot. But apart from Rekha and Jaya Bachchan, there was another woman in Amitabh Bachchan’s life.
Yes, a woman with whom Big B was in love. Many things have been said about this unheard story. So today let us introduce you to this chapter of Amitabh Bachchan’s life. The woman whom the actor met in Kolkata.
Amitabh’s story with Jaya Bachchan started with the film Guddi in 1971. Within just three years, their story even reached marriage. Both of them got married in 1973. It’s just that day and today. Both are together.
But when Rekha entered Amitabh Bachchan’s life, both of them worked together a lot. The onscreen pairing of both was a superhit. Apart from this, their closeness had increased significantly off-screen also. But Big B, who was already married, chose family over love and wife. Just like this his story with Rekha remained incomplete.
Once ‘Meri Saheli’ biographer Hanif Zaveri had talked about Amitabh Bachchan’s first love. He had told that Big B’s first love story was not with Jaya Bachchan and Rekha, but with another woman.
Actually Amitabh Bachchan’s journey started from Kolkata. Before Mumbai, he had reached Kolkata to improve his career. Where he used to work for Rs 250-300. During this time, the first woman came into his life. With whom his heart strings were connected.
That woman was Maya. She used to work in British Airways. Their meeting soon turned into love. Not only this, the author also claims that when Amitabh Bachchan shifted from Kolkata to Mumbai for work, Maya often used to come to Mayanagari to meet him.
In the beginning it also seemed that there could be a relationship between Amitabh Bachchan and Maya. But their relationship lasted only for a short time and then broke up. The writer had even said that even Amitabh Bachchan’s career was not on track. He used to be quite shy also. Whereas Maya was the opposite.
Gradually their relationship became tense. Once a close friend of Amitabh Bachchan advised the actor that if this continues then his personal and professional life may face obstacles. Just then, doubts crept in Big B’s heart and mind and the tension increased even more. In the end both of them separated.
