Amitabh Bachchan may call marriage ‘biggest mistake of life,’ says Jaya: ‘I have been married to the same man for 52 years, can’t love more than this’

Jaya agreed that the legality of marriage doesn’t have to define a relationship. Speaking about the same, she said, “Delhi ka ladoo hai khao toh mushkil na khao toh mushkil. Just enjoy life. You don’t have to make it (signals at a pen and a paper)… we didn’t even sign the register in old times, later on, we got to know that we have to sign the register, and we signed the register after I don’t know how many years of our marriage. That means we were living illegally.”

‘Amitabh might say marriage was the biggest mistake of his life’

When asked if Amitabh Bachchan shares the same views on marriage, Jaya said, “I have not asked him. He might say that ‘biggest mistake of my life’, but I don’t want to hear that.”

Jaya admitted that although her views on marriage are very different now, she fell in love with Big B at first sight. When asked if she remembers the moment she fell in love with Mr Bachchan, she joked, “Do you have to dig into old wounds? I have been married for the last 52 years to the same man. Isse jada pyaar main nahin kar sakti hoon (I can’t love more than this).” She added, “It will sound outdated after me saying that don’t get married… It was love at first sight.”

Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan have been married for 52 years. The two first met on the sets of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Guddi. While it was love at first sight for Jaya, the Don star fell in love with her during the making of Ek Nazar (1972). They tied the knot in 1973 and have two children — Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Bachchan.
