Amitabh Bachchan’s Shaadi Ka Ek Hi Condition! Jaya Bachchan Ka Kya Hua?

Picture this: It’s 1973, and the ‘angry young man’ Amitabh Bachchan is about to tie the knot with the talented Jaya Bachchan. But wait, there’s a twist! Before the shaadi, Big B had one big condition. Drumroll, please! 🥁 He didn’t want his biwi to work every day from 9 to 5! Kyun? Scroll karo aur jaan lo! 😜

So, our Jaya was a superstar in her own right, right? Winning accolades left and right, including the prestigious Padma Shri. But Big B was going through a rough patch—flops left, right, and center, and leading ladies refusing to work with him. Enter Mrs. Bachchan in Zanjeer (1973), and voila! A superhit that resurrected his career. 🙌 Post their first child, Shweta, Jaya decided to step back from acting, barring a few exceptions like Sholay, Kal Ho Naa Ho, and the recent Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

On her granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda’s podcast, "What The Hell Navya," Jaya revealed, “I definitely don’t want a wife who will be 9 to 5. Please work, but not every day. You choose your projects and work with the right people.” Wah bhai, kya baat hai! And like a true partner, Jaya agreed and prioritized family over career. 👩‍👧‍👦

Fast forward to 2014, Amitabh Bachchan was all praises for his wife at the India Today Conclave. He said, “One thing I find very admirable about Jaya is that she chose to give preference to home and not films. There was no obstacle from me ever, it was her decision. In marriages, all decisions are taken by the wife.” Arre wah, kya progressive soch hai! 😏

Interestingly, history repeated itself with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who also chose to step back from commercial cinema post her marriage to Abhishek Bachchan. Now, her focus is more on their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. 👩‍👧

But wait, itna hi kaafi nahi hai. There are rumors of trouble in the Bachchan paradise. Word on the street is that Jaya Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai don’t get along, causing rifts in the family. Reports even suggest that Aishwarya and Abhishek might be secretly separated! 😱

Kiran’s Gyan:

Arrey Bollywood ki duniya bhi ajeeb hai! Yahan shaadi ke pehle bhi conditions, aur shaadi ke baad bhi complications. But chalo, at least humare paas gossip toh hai! 😜
