When Jaya Bachchan agreed to star in Silsila along with Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan
Yash Chopra’s film, Silsila, was literally the on-screen portrayal of the off-screen love triangle of Rekha, Amitabh, and Jaya. When Yash Chopra shared his idea with Amitabh Bachchan, he immediately agreed to do the film, but Yash had wanted Rekha to play the role of his girlfriend in the love triangle. Despite his promise to Jaya Bachchan that he would never work with Rekha, Amitabh agreed to work in the film.
The casting of Silsila took many years as many leading ladies were approached for the roles opposite Amitabh. Yash wanted to cast Rekha and Jaya together with Amitabh, which was impossible, looking at the history of the trio. It took a lot of effort by Yash Chopra to even make Jaya listen to the script. However, it was the film’s climax, when Amitabh came back to his wife, leaving his girlfriend, which made Jaya accept the role.
