amitabh & jaya

The Megastar Jodi of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan walked down their memory lane as the couple clocked 46 years of their happy married life, yesterday. The couple married each other on 3rd June 1973 and on Monday they counted 46 years of their togetherness.

In fact, Big B took onto his official blog to pen down a heartfelt note sharing how he married Jaya in 1973.

“I lived on the 7th Road of this society in a rented house. Marriage had been decided among us, nothing to be exaggerated or celebrated with any aplomb…Just the two families and done. Off to London, my first trip ever and hers too,” wrote the cine icon.

Bachchan shared the facts that he along with his friends, including Jaya, planned of going for their vacation to London for celebrating the success of the film “Zanjeer”, but his father — late Harivansh Rai Bachchan cleared him that he could go only go there after they got married.

That was the trigger moment as Amitabh Bachchan recalls, “Then pandit and family informed. Next day all set. Flight at night, marriage to finish before the flight.”

Going back to his wedding day, Bachchan also mentioned that he was dressed up in formal Indian wear, got into his car and wished to drive to Malabar Hill to reach his friends, where the ceremony was to be held.

He further added, “My driver Nagesh pushes me out and insists he would drive me to the wedding… the substitute for the traditional horse.”

As they were all set at Mangal- name of the house on rent, it began drizzling. “The rain is a good omen. Off I went, wedding over in a few hours. Done. Mr and Mrs proclaimed. Over,” wrote Bachchan ji.

The couple have worked together in a number of films including, “Sholay”, “Mili”, “Guddi” and “Silsila” and have two children — Abhishek and Shweta.
