Amitabh Bachchan and his wife Jaya Bachchan are marking 48 years of marriage today. While they remain one of Bollywood’s power couples, there is a secret behind their 48-year marriage that just a few people are aware of.
Did you know that Big B and Jaya got married for a trip to London. That’s right, you read that correctly! Amitabh Bachchan’s film ‘Zanjeer’ became a great hit . The pair, who had met on set and fallen in love, had vowed to visit London if the film did well.
When they went to their respective families for permission as it was their first vacation abroad, Big B’s father Harivansh Rai Bachchan enquired if Jaya would be joining him. When the actor said yes, his father told them that if they wanted to go on a vacation together, they needed to get married first.
The couple agreed and married before departing on their first trip to London, which was subsequently designated as their honeymoon tour. Following their vacation, there were some scandalous reports regarding Jaya, who at the time was a larger fame than Big B. The couple had no choice but to publicly proclaim their marriage at that point.
Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan have two children, Shweta and Abhishek Bachchan, and three grandchildren, Aaradhya, Navya, and Agastya Bachchan.
Meanwhile, Jaya has stayed away from the movies in order to focus on her political activity. Amitabh Bachchan, on the other hand, is working on a number of exciting projects.
He’ll next be seen in Rumy Jaafri’s film “Chehre,” which also stars Emraan Hashmi. Due to the pandemic, the film’s release was postponed. He also has Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Mouni Roy in Ayan Mukerji’s “Brahmastra.” He also has Nagraj Manjule’s “Jhund” and Vikas Bahl’s “Goodbye,” both of which star Neena Gupta and Rashmika Mandanna and Pavail Gulati
