I am putting \ref* not \ref. Which

No, because \ref* does not create an anchor (see hyperref documentation).

The purpose of this is to have equation tag for a second equation the
same as for the first one but with * and to do it automatically

No, if I wanted this I would put \ref*{B}. I want hyperlink to follow
to page where {B} is. And this construction perfectly works with
equation and align
