Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, one of Bollywood’s most iconic and enduring couples, have shared a marriage that has spanned nearly five decades. Their relationship, marked by mutual respect and support, has been admired by generations of fans.
During a candid conversation with Simi Garewal in 1998, Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan offered some surprising insights into their relationship.
When Simi asked Amitabh if he considered himself a romantic, he immediately denied it. Jaya, sitting beside him, humorously interjected, noting that he wasn’t romantic with her. Her playful comment took Amitabh by surprise, and he gave her a puzzled look, while Jaya chuckled, acknowledging that she might have stirred up some trouble with her remark.
Simi Garewal, curious about Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan’s early days, asked Jaya if Amitabh had ever been romantic when they were dating. Jaya’s response was surprising, as she mentioned that they never spoke during that time. Seeing Simi’s shocked reaction, Jaya clarified that they ‘hardly spoke’. Amitabh, in his usual straightforward style, added that he considered talking to be such a waste of time.
In the same interview, Jaya Bachchan shared her first impression of Amitabh Bachchan, recalling that she felt a sense of ‘danger’ when they first met. She explained that she was frightened because Amitabh was the only person who could influence her in ways that others couldn’t.
Jaya confessed that even if Amitabh made a mild suggestion, she would feel compelled to act on it, driven by a strong desire to please him a feeling that didn’t come naturally to her.
Despite their difference, Amitabh and Jaya’s enduring bond continues to inspire many, making them one of the most respected couples in the Indian film industry.
