Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s love story began on the sets of Guddi in 1971, where Amitabh was initially considered for the lead role. The spark between Amitabh and Jaya truly ignited during the filming of Ek Nazar in 1972, and their passion for cinema quickly drew them closer.
While fans adore their romantic journey together despite facing numerous challenges in life, it came as a shock to their admirers when Jaya spoke about how ‘unromantic’ Amitabh has been throughout their relationship.
During an episode of the chat show ‘Rendezvous with Simi Garewal’ in 1998, Simi questioned Jaya if Amitabh is romantic in his personal life. Amitabh intervened and quickly responded by saying no and Jaya instantly shot out, “Not with me.”
Then, laughingly, Simi said that she had caused trouble. When Amitabh questioned Simi about what she meant by being romantic, Jaya clarified that it meant surprising their partner with flowers and wine. She continued by stating that her husband is extremely shy and Amitabh said that he has never done such things.
Jaya went on to say that perhaps Amitabh would have done it if he had a girlfriend. Simi then questioned Jaya if Amitabh was romantic during their courtship to which Jaya said, “No, he never spoke”. Amitabh then retorted, “It’s a waste of time.”
Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan got married on June 3, 1973. They later became parents to a daughter named Shweta Bachchan in 1974 and a son Abhishek in 1976. Shweta tied the knot with Nikhil Nanda in 1997 and they have two kids Navya and Agastya Nanda. On the other hand, Abhishek Bachchan got married to Aishwarya Rai in 2007 and the duo became parents to a daughter named Aaradhya in 2011.
