While news of breakups and divorces have become common in Bollywood, there is a couple who have been holding each other's hands for the last 51 years.

Amitabh liked Jaya's eyes

It is said that Amitabh Bachchan saw Jaya's picture on the cover page of a magazine and he liked Jaya's eyes very much, so it can also be said that the seed of this love was probably sown here. While Amitabh Bachchan was building his career, Jaya was enjoying her popularity. Amitabh met Jaya for the first time in 1970 during an event at Pune Film Institute.

Zanjeer was the reason Amitabh and Jaya fell in love

After this meeting, Amitabh Bachchan was going to get a chance to work with Jaya Bachchan in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's film 'Guddi', which made Jaya very happy, but unfortunately, due to Amitabh's fame, she had to be removed from the film. Amitabh and Jaya may not have worked together during this period, but their friendship had become good. This friendship turned into love during the shooting of the 1973 film 'Zanjeer'. Amitabh wanted to go to London with his friends to celebrate the success of the film 'Zanjeer'. Jaya was also included in this friend's group. Amitabh's father put a condition that Amitabh can go to London with Jaya only on one condition if she marries him. Although Jaya was the first one to express her love, Amitabh came to Jaya's house with a marriage proposal. 3rd June 1973 was the day when Amitabh and Jaya became each other's forever. This marriage was done in a very intimate manner in which only family and friends were present. Let us tell you that Amitabh and Jaya left for London on the wedding day itself.
