The love story of Jaya and Big B is very interesting even today. Many of the TV channels and magazines were after this star couple to give the story from time to time. The star couple Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan had opened about their first meeting and love life.
If you thought it was the silver screen where the country’s most celebrated couple met, you’re wrong! Amitabh Bachchan had taken a good look at Jaya Bhaduri (then) on the cover of a magazine. He always wanted a woman he thought was a perfect blend of traditionalism and a modern outlook, and he thought Jaya came across exactly like that in the picture.
Amitabh also said that the thing which really caught his attention was her beautiful eyes. It was much later that Hrishikesh Mukherjee came up with the script of Guddi, and Amitabh was really excited at the prospect of being cast opposite such a versatile star.
Jaya Bachchan had revealed how frightened she was when she first met Amitabh Bachchan in person. Jaya recalled how she felt that he was the only one who could ever dictate her to do things. And she would do them. She even confessed how she thought she would do anything to please him. Jaya also said that it was not love at first sight for both of them.
The constant offers of the same kind of cinema did not interest Jaya and that was the sole reason of her leaving showbiz, she had said in the interview. The prospect of having a family and spending time with kids came across as a much interesting option, she had said.
Jaya also revealed that she did not even speak once to Amitabh Bachchan about this while taking the decision. She urged that it was totally her decision to leave the industry.
