Amitabh Bachchan’s popularity is not only the result of his blockbuster movies, but also his dashing looks. The legendary actor was known to be one of the best-looking stars back in his days. He often captivated audiences, especially female fan followers, with his intense expressions and chiselled looks. With tall height, dusky look and charismatic aura, Amitabh Bachchan’s personal life naturally attracted a lot of attention. Rumours of him being romantically involved with actress Rekha were all over the tabloids. But no one knew the story about his first love.
Hanif Zaveri, who is a famous celebrity biographer, recently revealed the name of the lucky lady who managed to win over Big B’s heart. During a conversation with the YouTube channel Meri Saheli, Hanif shared that Amitabh Bachchan fell in love with a woman named Maya, back when he used to live in Kolkata for his work, where he earned around Rs 250-300 per month. “She was working at British Airways at the time. Amitabh Bachchan really loved her, and she did too,” the biographer exclaimed.
The biographer further spilled some beans about the couple’s relationship and stated that they could have married each other had Amitabh Bachchan’s career been stable. Talking about the kind of bond Amitabh and Maya shared, Hanif said, “In those days, Amitabh was a very shy man and Maya was quite cunning. Sometimes, she wouldn’t even bother who was sitting with him and would speak with him as she wanted, she would scold him too. Anwar Ali, and all of Amitabh’s other friends didn’t really like this. And Amitabh was also getting nervous about this.”

Hanif then recalled how Anwar Ali once advised Amitabh Bachchan to break up with Maya as he thought she wouldn’t be the right fit for the Bachchan family. Anwar also believed that if Amitabh had to grow as an actor, this relationship might become an obstacle for him. The Piku actor also felt the void in the relationship and started distancing himself from Maya. Eventually, the duo broke up after some time.
