Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan exchanged wedding vows on June 3, 1973. The couple will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in 2023.
The seasoned Bollywood performer Jaya Bachchan recently disclosed that her well-known husband Amitabh Bachchan had expressed his dislike for her continuing to hold down a regular job after their marriage. In the most recent episode of the What the Hell Navya podcast, which is hosted by her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda, she made this claim. As usual, Shweta Bachchan Nanda was on the show with Jaya and Navya. Modern Love: Romance & Regrets was the topic of the most recent episode. On the podcast, Jaya also talked about how her wedding to Big B had to be moved forward from its initial October date to June because his parents wouldn’t let them go on a trip together.
When Navya inquired about Jaya’s love tale, the actor revealed that Amitabh Bachchan required one thing before accepting to be her husband. “We had planned to get married in October when my workload would have dropped. Work, but not every day, please, he had told me, “I simply don’t want a wife who will work from 9 to 5.” You choose the right initiatives and partners, “Jaya remembered.
Amitabh and Jaya exchanged wedding vows on June 3, 1973. The couple will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in 2023. A simple ceremony for their wedding was held in the Mumbai home of Jaya’s godmother.
Elder Bachchan’s career prospered even after they were married, whilst Jaya put her career on wait to prioritize her family. When talking about this at the India Today Conclave in 2014, Big B said, “One thing I find really interesting in Jaya is that she chose to devote attention to home and not films.” It was entirely up to her; I never placed any barriers in her path. All decisions in marriages are made by the wife.
Navya was informed by Jaya about her relationship with Amitabh Bachchan and the rationale behind their June wedding rather than their original October date. “We had to go on a trip after the popularity of the movie we did together” (Zanjeer). He did, however, call me one day and say, “There is a problem. My parents won’t allow us to go on a vacation; we’ll have to be married instead. I replied that since we had already decided to get married in October, why not do it right away? However, you must get in touch with my folks. My father, who had never wanted me to be married, received the call and was not happy “said Jaya. However, her father agreed, and they were married simply.
