Amitabh Bachchan is known for sharing small moments from his life while hosting quiz show “Kaun Banega Crorepati”. His latest revelation entails his wife Jaya Bachchan.
In an upcoming episode, a contestant asks Amitabh if he has ever waited for Jaya while she gets ready for an event. Amitabh claimed it was a very good question and revealed a simple trick he uses to avoid being late, Indian broadcaster NDTV reports.
According to the Big B, if they have to attend a wedding at 6pm, he tells her that the event is at 5pm. This makes Jaya start preparing earlier, which helps them reach the event on time.
Bachchan explained, “If we have to go somewhere, then a time is fixed, like the wedding procession will arrive at 6 in the evening).”
“I tell her that the wedding procession is going to arrive at 5pm. So, her makeup starts from 3:30-4pm and we reach the event on time.”
This was not the first time Bachchan spoke about his wife on “Kaun Banega Crorepati 18”. In a past episode, another contestant asked him if Jaya gets upset when he comes home late.
He explained that he knows Jaya will be upset if he comes home late without informing her. To avoid this, he ensures his family knows about his work schedule in advance. He sends a message to the family group whenever he has a shoot and expects to return late. He also tells them not to wait for him for dinner. This early update helps him avoid any complaints when he reaches home late.
The actor added that if he does not inform them and arrives late, Jaya questions where he was and why he did not inform them. On such days, she does not wait for him to come home and instead eats her dinner and goes to bed.
Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan first met while working on “Guddi” in 1971. They were married two years later, in 1973 and had two children, daughter Shweta Bachchan and son Abhishek Bachchan.
