"Why should he have not done it? He ( Amitabh ) did it to protect his image, protect his family, and protect his children. I think it is beautiful, I don't care what the public thinks of it. Why should the public know of my love for him or his love for me? I love him, he loves me – that's it. I don’t care what anybody thinks," Rekha had said.

According to Bollywoodshaadis.com, Rekha was reportedly said during the interview, "If he'd reacted that way towards me in private, I would have been very disappointed. But has he ever done that? I ask you. So why should I care about what he's said in public? I know people must be saying bechari Rekha, pagal hai us par, phir bhi dekho. Maybe I deserve that pity. Not that he has 10 rollicking affairs! Mr Bachchan is still old-fashioned. He doesn't want to hurt anybody, so why hurt his wife?" Rekha asked, as reported
 

Talking about Amitabh denying the relationship with the actress, Rekha had said, "My reaction is not typical, I know that. But there's a total fulfilment. We are human beings who love and accept each other for what we are. There's more pleasure in our lives than misery."
