Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan celebrate their 39th wedding anniversary
‘Ours was a simple Bengali pundit wedding,’ he says
Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan celebrated their 39th marriage anniversary yesterday. Big B says it has brought the memories of their wedding day flooding back.
The couple have two children — son Abhishek and daughter Shweta.
“39 years! And just made it to the blog in time to write. A minute more and all the headers would have had to undergo change. Greetings have been exchanged, family has gathered round with wishes Now time to reminisce, to go back and relive those moments, to remember all that transpired,” the 69-year-old posted on his blog.
“Marriages and weddings entail great amount of ritual and protocol and decorum and priests and pundits and maulvis. They last for days with great fanfare. Ours was a simple Bengali pundit wedding, exchange of flowered garlands, the mangal sutra, the sindoor and it was all over before the women from Jaya’s side could stop their finger in mouth screams of ‘odododooooo’ ... or words to that effect.”
