Jaya Bachchan Finally Tells Amitabh Bachchan Proposed Her For Marriage: We Decided To Go On A Trip

Jaya
Bachchan
and
Amitabh
Bachchan
tied
the
knot
in
June
1973.
Since
then,
their
relationship
saw
many
ups
and
downs,
but
they
never
let
anything
get
between
them,
becoming
the
benchmark
for
successful
marriages.
However,
even
after
49
years
of
marriage,
very
few
know
how
did
the
marriage
ball
get
rolling.
Who
proposed
whom?
In
the
latest
episode
of
Navya
Nanda’s
podcast,
Jaya
Bachchan
finally
reveals
the
details.

Navya
Nanda
hosts
the
podcast

What
The
Hell
Navya?
Where
the
three
generations
of
the
Bachchan
family,
namely,
Navya,
Shweta
Nanda,
and
Jaya
Bachchan
get
together
to
talk
about
various
topics.
This
week’s
theme
of
the
discussion
was
‘Modern
Love:
Romance
and
Regrets’.
In
the
podcast,
the
trio
were
discussing
how
the
ways
of
love
have
changed
over
the
years.

One
of
the
biggest
changes
that
occurred
in
romances
today
is
the
way
of
proposal.
Jaya
and
Shweta
quipped
about
the
current
generation’s
‘proposing
game’
and
said
that
nowadays,
people
plan
proposals
just
for
the
sake
of
Instagram,
something
which
never
happened
and
should
never
happen.

Navya
then
asked
how
did
her
grandfather
propose
to
Jaya,
to
which
she
replied
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
her
planned
to
go
on
a
trip
if

Zanjeer
was
a
success.
Earlier,
they
decided
to
marry
in
October
but
Jaya’s
father-in-law,
the
great
poet
Harivanshrai
Bachchan
said
that
he
wouldn’t
allow
the
trip
without
marriage.
Jaya
said,
“So
he(Amitabh)
called
me
up
and
asked.
‘we
were
anyway
getting
married
in
October,
but
do
you
mind
getting
married
earlier?’
It
was
as
simple
as
that.”

Jaya
Bachchan
also
said
that
her
father
didn’t
agree
to
her
marriage
to
Amitabh
as
he
wanted
his
daughters
to
first
make
their
own
individuality
and
careers.
Later,
Bachchan
convinced
him.
Jaya
also
revealed
that
Amitabh
Bachchan
didn’t
want
a
9-5
working
wife.
“He
said,
‘You
please
work,
you
must!
But
I
definitely
don’t
want
a
wife
who
will
work
every
day
from
9-5.
You
choose
good
projects,
work
with
the
right
people.'”
Jaya
added.

When
Navya
asked
Jaya’s
suggestions
on
the
type
of
person
one
should
marry,
Jaya
replied,
“My
suggestion
to
this
generation
would
be,
I
think
you
should
marry
your
best
friend.
It
should
be
like,
‘hey
I
think
we’re
best
friends,
I
want
to
have
a
child
with
you,
hence
let’s
get
married
because
that’s
how
the
society
is.'”
