Then in 1983, an accident happened with Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of 'Coolie' and he was admitted to the hospital. His condition was quite serious then. According to Live Hindustan, Rekha could not bear hearing about Big B's condition and she went to the hospital to meet him. But Jaya did not allow him to meet Amitabh Bachchan.
