Amitabh and Rekha made a fascinating pair in movies like 'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar', 'Mr. Natwarlal', 'Suhaag', 'Ram Balram', 'Silsila' etc.

Till the rumours of their affair started floating around and they stopped working together and mixing socially completely.

They even have their birthdays close to each other (Rekha on 10TH October and Big B on 11th October) and even though she's 50 plus and he 60 plus, they can still set the screen on fire.

As far as Mrs. B in concerned she has no problems if they were to act together. That's what she has said to People's magazine recently.

She has said, "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." But she's denied once and for all that there was something between them.

She adds, "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. 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!"

After all the opening up the diplomatic way, it doesn't seem this pair is going to get back together soon!
