Today marks Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan‘s 40th wedding anniversary, which is “almost a lifetime” of togetherness, as Big B describes it. On his blog, he recalls that 40 years ago on this day, they had a quick, no-fuss wedding at a friend’s place in Malabar Hill – a wedding that took place because they had made a promise that they’d get married if Zanjeer did well.
“Here we are now, two children and three grand children, son in law, daughter in law, relatives and ‘samdhi’s’ in our family fold. God has been very kind!”
Unfortunately, though, Bachchan writes that he’s alone on this day because the family is away tending to other commitments. But then again, as he says, the world has become a small place that distances aren’t so great anymore 🙂 In any case, here’s wishing the Bachchan duo a happy anniversary, and many more years of togetherness!
