After all, on what did Amitabh bow in front of his father?

Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan got married in 1973 and it has been 51 years since they got married. In these years, they have had a happy and successful married life. But do you know that Amitabh Bachchan married Jaya because of his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan?

Beginning of a love story: Amitabh Bachchan shared his and Jaya Bachchan's love story on Simi Garewal's chat show 'Rendezvous'. Amitabh said that when he first saw Jaya's photo on the cover page of a magazine, he was mesmerized by her eyes. Jaya liked Amitabh in 1970 at Pune Film Institute after being impressed by his personality.

Meeting and love: Amitabh and Jaya first met on the sets of the film 'Guddi'. Both of them worked together in this film and this is where their friendship began. After this, they also worked together in the film 'Ek Nazar', and their love gradually grew. Amitabh often used to secretly go to his friend Chandra Barot's house to meet Jaya.

Plan for foreign tour: After the success of the film 'Zanjeer', the film's director Prakash Mehra decided to take the entire star cast on a foreign tour. But Amitabh's father Harivansh Rai Bachchan did not like this plan. He put a condition that if Amitabh wanted to go abroad with Jaya, then they would have to get married first.

Secret wedding preparations: Following Harivansh Rai Bachchan's condition, Amitabh decided to marry Jaya secretly. They got married in a temple in South Mumbai in the presence of very close relatives and friends. The idea of this secret wedding was also given by Amitabh's friend Chandra Barot.
