Mumbai, April 8: Some relationships resemble a cinematic tale, beginning with struggles and culminating in a strong and mature bond. Such is the relationship between Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan. During a time when Amitabh was still finding his footing in Hindi cinema, Jaya was emerging as a star in both Bengali and Hindi films. Known for her calm and composed demeanor, we celebrate Jaya Bachchan today as she turns 78 on April 9.
It is often said that everyone salutes the rising sun, but the relationship between Jaya and Amitabh was quite the opposite. While today’s stars contemplate marriage after tasting success, Jaya had already given her heart to Amitabh when he was still an unknown name in the industry, despite her being involved in films from a young age.
Jaya had worked as a child artist in both Bengali and Hindi films. Few know that when she first saw Amitabh at a film studio, she was captivated by his simplicity and personality. She shared her feelings with her friends, but they did not approve of Amitabh, calling him ‘wooden’ and commenting that he only had big eyes. This infuriated Jaya, who confidently asserted that she believed Amitabh would achieve great things in Hindi cinema.
On the other hand, Amitabh realized Jaya’s beauty through a magazine photoshoot. In an interview, he revealed that Jaya embodied both traditional and modern qualities, which he found appealing. Their closeness began on the set of the film “Guddhi,” although at that time, Jaya spent more time shooting with Dharmendra.
Jaya would often discuss Amitabh with Dharmendra. It is said that due to early career setbacks, many actresses refused to work with Amitabh. However, Jaya agreed to star in “Zanjeer,” which became a massive hit. This film transformed the struggling Amitabh Bachchan into an overnight superstar.
