Amitabh-Jaya were going to go on a foreign tour together
Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya worked in the film ‘Zanjeer’ which was a blockbuster at the box office. In this joy, the film’s director Prakash Mehra decided to take the star cast of ‘Zanjeer’ on a foreign tour. But Big B’s father Harivansh Rai Bachchan did not like this and he put a condition.
Had to get married due to father’s condition
Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s condition was that if Big B wanted to go on a foreign tour with Jaya, he would first have to get married. In such a situation, Amitabh Bachchan had no other option and he secretly took seven rounds with Jaya in a temple in South Mumbai.
During this time, only his very close relatives and friends attended. The one who gave Amitabh Bachchan the idea of marrying secretly near a foreign tour was none other than his friend Chandra Barot.
