Also, sharing about his love story with his wife Jaya Bachchan, Amitabh said that their decision to get married appeared during the film Zanjeer's shooting. At that time, the production crew decided that they would go to London for a vacation if the film were a big hit. Amitabh’s father asked him who he was going with and when he knew it was Jaya, he told Amitabh that he mustn’t go to London without marrying Jaya. Amitabh then agreed and later the couple got married to each other before they went to London. What a lovely story!

Amitabh is recently busy with his first Telugu film titled Uyarntha Manithan, which also featured Ramya Krishnan and SJ Suryah in the lead roles. He used to work with director Balki for several films such as Shamitabh, Cheeni Kum or Paa and Ki and Ka.
