Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan have redefined the meaning of enduring love. Even after five decades of marriage, the legendary couple keeps their relationship fresh and heartfelt, as revealed in a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). The Bollywood icon shared a touching tradition that left fans in awe — he still brings jasmine garlands, or gajras, for his wife, Jaya Bachchan.
The revelation unfolded when a contestant quizzed Amitabh on quirky aspects of his personal life. One of the lighthearted questions asked if he had ever withdrawn money from an ATM. In his signature candid style, Amitabh confessed, “I neither keep cash nor visit ATMs because I don’t understand how they work. Jaya handles all the cash, so I often ask her for money!”
While this playful admission drew laughter, it was what Amitabh shared next that truly melted hearts. He revealed that Jaya has a fondness for jasmine flowers, and he frequently buys gajras from children selling them on the streets. “When I’m traveling, if I see children selling jasmine garlands, I buy them. Sometimes I give them to Jaya, and other times I leave them in the car because I love their fragrance,” Amitabh said, his face lighting up with affection.
This simple yet profound gesture is a testament to their bond — a love nurtured not with grandiose displays but through thoughtful acts that convey deep respect and care. Even after decades together, Amitabh continues to cherish Jaya, showing that the little things matter the most in a relationship.
Fans of the couple were quick to draw inspiration from Amitabh’s thoughtful tradition, praising his ability to keep the romance alive despite the passage of time. It’s not just about the flowers; it’s about the sentiment behind them. For Amitabh, it’s a way of showing that his heart remains as connected to Jaya as it was on the day they first met.
The KBC host’s anecdotes also highlighted the relatable dynamics of their relationship. While Amitabh, the megastar, admits to relying on Jaya for practical matters like money, he balances it with gestures of love that showcase his devotion.
Their story is a beautiful reminder that love is not measured by the scale of gestures but by the consistency of effort. Whether it’s buying a garland of jasmine or sharing a laugh over life’s quirks, Amitabh and Jaya’s relationship continues to be a source of inspiration for couples everywhere.
In a world where fleeting relationships are the norm, the Bachchans prove that love can indeed last a lifetime — one thoughtful gesture at a time.
