Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan’s 1973 wedding was shrouded in secrecy, as revealed by Jaya’s father, Taroon Coomar Bhadhuri. Despite rumors and caste concerns, Bhadhuri described their union as a bold and determined choice, rather than a mere celebrity stunt. According to him, Amitabh’s success in “Zanjeer” was unrelated to their marriage decision. The ceremony was quietly arranged at a family friend’s flat in Malabar Hill, with the couple’s families kept in the dark until the last moment. This understated affair was a testament to their personal and private commitment.
