The Bachchans ring in Jaya's 66th birthday

In a rendezvous with Simili Garewal, star couple Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan opened about their first meeting and love life. On the day of Jaya Bachchan's birthday, we present to you five memorble quotes from their interview.

When Amitabh Bachchan saw Jaya Bhaduri on the cover of a magazine: If you thought it was the silver screen where the country's most celebrated couple met, you're wrong. Amitabh Bachchan first got a good look at Jaya Bhaduri (then) on the cover of a magazine. Amitabh Bachchan always wanted a woman who he thought was a perfect blend of traditionalism and someone with a modern outlook, and he thought Jaya Bachchan came across exactly like that in the picture. He also said the thing which really caught his attention was Jaya Bacchhan's beautiful eyes. It was much later that Hrishikesh Mukherjee came up with the script of 'Guddi' and Amitabh was really excited at the prospect of being cast opposite such a versatile star.
