The quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 has often become a medium for Amitabh Bachchan to share glimpses of his personal life. the actor frequently shares light-hearted anecdotes about his family and marriage While interacting with contestants. This time, he opened up about what he does to avoid getting late when he and his wife, veteran actor Jaya Bachchan , have to attend public events.
In a promo for an upcoming episode of KBC 18 on Instagram, a female contestant was seen asking Amitabh Bachchan if he ever had to wait for his wife to get ready for a wedding or other event. Responding to her, the KBC 18 host said that it is a very good question. So if the time for the wedding is 6 pm, I tell her 5 pm, so she starts getting ready by 3:30 – 4 pm and ends up getting ready on time! Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan were formally introduced on the sets of the film Guddi in 1971. Amitabh grew closer to her during the filming of Ek Nazar in 1972 While Jaya fell for him early. After the success of their film Zanjeer in 1973, the couple planned a holiday to London with friends. Amitabh agreed, and the couple had a quick, private wedding ceremony on June 3, 1973, before leaving for London the same day.
He smiled and added, “Let me tell you the trick: whenever we have to go somewhere, a time is decided. So she starts getting ready accordingly, and we end up arriving on time. Then I tell them that I have a shoot somewhere and will be late, so they should not wait for me for dinner. I inform all beforehand, and that saves me. But suppose I didn’t tell her (Jaya Bachchan), then I will be scolded and asked, ‘Where were you? You didn’t inform us. Is this the time to come home? So, if I am very late, she eats her dinner and goes to sleep herself. Jaya was drawn to Amitabh.
He said, “I know what is going to happen, so what I do is, as soon as I wake up, we have all our family members’ names saved in our contacts and have made a group where I send a message saying, ‘Namaskar’ with folded hands. When Amitabh asked his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, for permission, his father reportedly said that if they wanted to go on a trip together, they would first have to get married.
I tell her the time, which is one hour before the actual time.
