Amitabh Bachchan is the undisputed king of Bollywood, and nobody has ever matched his level of stardom. The superstar married Jaya Bhaduri when the latter was at the peak of her career. Amitabh and Jaya became a rage back then, and their families were also impacted by their popularity. However, Big B was also famous for his alleged affair with Rekha, but he never admitted to dating her.
Jaya Bachchan’s father recalls Satyajit Ray’s warning to him
On March 5, 1989, Jaya Bachchan’s father, Taroon Kumar Bhaduri, who was The Statesman‘s correspondent in Bhopal for many years, wrote an article in the Illustrated Weekly of India. He shared how Satyajit Ray once told him that he would be known as ‘Jaya Bachchan’s father’ rather than his own identity of being a journalist. He added that things worsened when Jaya tied the knot with Amitabh Bachchan and said:
“When Jaya joined films way back in 1970, Satyajit Ray told me, ‘For a year or so, at least in Bengal, she will be known as your daughter. Thereafter, you will be known as her father.’ True enough, this came to pass. And as if this was not enough, suddenly, out of the blue, I had to one day become the father-in-law of one who has been variously described as a ‘superstar’. Their popularity has rubbed off on my wife and me.”
