Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s love story

Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri reportedly met for the first time at the Pune Film Institute. Although Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri had seen each other before, they had never truly had an official meeting until Hrishikesh Mukherjee introduced them on the sets of the film Guddi.?

?As per Herzindagi, in an interview, Jaya Bachchan said that she was captivated by Amitabh Bachchan when she first met him since he was Harivanshrai Bachchan's son.

When they were working on the sets of Ek Nazar, Jaya Bhaduri realized how much she loved Big B. Amitabh Bachchan too fell in love with her later.?

?Afterwards, if Amitabh Bachchan's film Zanjeer did well at the box office, Big and his buddies decided to visit London for a holiday. After the film became a hit, he wanted to bring Jaya Bhaduri along. Amitabh Bachchan's parents, however, disapproved of his plan and stated that he could only do so by getting married to her.?

After deciding to propose to Jaya and take their love to the next level, Amitabh Bachchan and she got married. The two were later blessed with two kids, Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan.
