Key Questions Answered
Amitabh Bachchan revealed that he simply told Jaya one day that they should get married, she agreed, and after she informed her parents, they tied the knot the very next day without elaborate plans or lengthy discussions.
One of the main reasons they rushed into marriage was a planned trip to London; Amitabh's father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, insisted they get married first because he did not allow them to travel together as an unmarried couple.
After marrying Amitabh in 1973, Jaya stepped back from her acting career to focus on raising their children, Shweta and Abhishek, and instilling strong values in them.
