The Bachchan family is one of the biggest Bollywood households, consisting of some iconic actors including Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. Amitabh and Jaya have ruled the cinema for ages. In 1973, the couple got married and were blessed with two kids — Abhishek Bachchan and Shweta Nanda Bachchan. While Abhishek followed in his father's footsteps to become an actor, Shweta is an Indian columnist and author. Amitabh Bachchan is one of the wealthiest actors in the industry, with an impressive net worth of around Rs 1600 crore. With such wealth, the question that often arises is: who will inherit Big B and Jaya Bachchan's properties? Recently, an old video of Amitabh Bachchan has gone viral where he revealed how he wishes to divide his properties after his death. In a 2011 interview with Rediff, Amitabh Bachchan said, 'I would not differentiate between Abhishek and Shweta. When I die, whatever little I have will be equally divided between my daughter and my son — there is no differentiation. Jaya and I decided on that a long time back. Everybody says that the girl is paraya dhan, she goes to her husband's house, but in my eyes, she is our daughter; she has the same rights Abhishek has.' In 2007, Abhishek Bachchan tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai, and the couple was blessed with a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. On the other hand, Shweta married Nikhil Nanda, the son of Raj Kapoor's daughter Ritu Nanda and Rajan Nanda. The couple has two children — a son, Agastya Nanda, and a daughter, Navya Naveli. Coming to Abhishek Bachchan's work front, the actor will be seen in King alongside Shah Rukh Khan. More details about the film are awaited.
