It is said that Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri’s love story started on the sets of ‘Zanjeer’. This couple is considered to be the golden couple of Bollywood. During that time, Jaya was a superstar and Big B was just a struggling actor. Jaya stood by him in every crisis and strongly supported him in his tough times. They both decided to go to London if ‘Zanjeer’ becomes hit. As the film was blockbuster at the box-office, they both planned for the London trip. But Big B’s father Harivansh Rai Bachchan did not approve of this trip unless they were married. So, the ‘already in love’ couple tied the knot in a hurry and left for London the same day. Big B often shares old pictures with his wifey on special occasions like birthdays and wedding anniversary.
