Why should I mind Amitabh, Rekha working together?'
In her first exclusive interview to People magazine after the political controversy following her 'pro-Hindi' remarks during the music launch of Drona, Jaya Bachchan opens up on the emotional upheavals in her life and how she has emerged stronger after every one of them.
In an in-depth conversation, the veteran actress spoke on every issue that has dogged her and her family: Husband, superstar Amitabh Bachchan's supposed romantic relationship with former co-star Rekha, the estrangement between the Bachchans and the Gandhis, the break-up of Abhishek and Karisma Kapoor's engagement, her connection with reigning superstar Shah Rukh Khan (and her disappointment over his alleged remarks about daughter-in-law Aishwarya during the infamous SRK-Salman spat) and the effect that Raj Thackeray's invectives have had on her.
Excerpts from the interview:
On marriage to Amitabh -- and his alleged romance with Rekha
Marriages seem to be falling apart these days. How have you managed to keep it going for so many years? How can you keep a man faithful to you for so long, that too such a desirable man?
By just leaving him alone. You have to have the conviction. I married a good man and a family that believes in commitment. (Thinks) You must not get too possessive, especially in our profession, where you know things aren't going to be easy. You can either drive the artist crazy, or you can help him or her grow. And if he goes, then he was never yours! (Smiles)
But surely all those rumours about affairs must disturb...
(Thinks) You are a human being, you do react. If you react to negativity, you also react to positivity. You are reassured every second by gestures, by looks, by happenings, and that keeps you going. (Thinks more) A human being at a very vulnerable age and time gets carried away either ways, and if you are sad you are sad, and if you are happy you are happy.
Once and for all, is there any truth about the affair with Rekha?
If there was any, he would have been somewhere else, na? People liked them as a couple on screen, and that's fine. The media tried linking him with every one of his heroines. My life would have been hell if I had taken it all seriously. We are made of sterner stuff.
Would you mind if they worked together again?
No, why should I mind? But I feel it will be more like a sensation than actual work. And that's a pity because one will miss the opportunity of seeing them together. Both of them probably realise it will go beyond work.
