Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan celebrated their 52nd anniversary on June 3, and to mark the occasion, the veteran actor shared old photos from their wedding on X (formerly Twitter). He also penned an emotional note, thanking his fans for their well wishes. In the photos shared by Big B, he is seen wearing a simple white kurta-pyjama, while Jaya wore a red saree. The pictures show the couple performing rituals and also speaking to each other during their wedding. Sharing the clicks, Amitabh wrote, 'To all that wish Jaya and me for the Wedding Anniversary June 3, 2025, my gratitude and love.' He also added a quote by his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, 'Anwarat samay ki chakki chalti jaati hai (the wheel of time keeps turning endlessly).' Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh Bachchan worked together in many films such as Zanjeer, Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Mili and more. They first met on the sets of Guddi. Speaking about meeting Amitabh for the first time, Jaya had said in an old interview, 'I was introduced to him on the sets of Guddi. I was impressed by him and somewhat in awe as he was Harivanshrai Bachchan's son. I fell in love with him very soon.' The couple fell in love on the sets of Ek Nazar (1972) and went on to date before tying the knot in 1973. Jaya's father, journalist Taroon Coomar Bhaduri, wrote in an article for the Illustrated Weekly of India in 1989 about how the priest protested against the star couple's inter-caste marriage. He wrote about the couple's wedding day and how Amitabh Bachchan followed all rituals without offending anyone. He wrote, 'A Bengali marriage is usually a long-drawn-out but a highly interesting affair. The Bengali priest (who was located with great difficulty) at first protested against having to preside over a marriage between a Bengali Brahmin (Jaya) and a non-Bengali non-Brahmin (Amit). After a lot of hassles, this was sorted out. Amit went through all the rituals, offending no one, and the ceremony went on until early the next morning. He did with sincerity all he was told to do. The following day, they flew to London. On their return, I held a reception at Bhopal and again Amit did whatever he was told to do.'

In an old interview with People Magazine in 2008, when Jaya Bachchan was asked about rumours of link-up between Bachchan and Rekha, and if there was any truth to it, she had clarified, "If there was any, he would have been somewhere else, na? People liked them as a couple on screen, and that's fine. The media tried linking him with every one of his heroines. My life would have been hell if I had taken it all seriously.

He wrote, 'After their marriage, Jaya was doing a film, and when the posters appeared, her maiden name was billed. Someone, obviously trying to flatter Amitabh, said: 'Why should this be? She should be billed as a Bachchan.' Amit promptly retorted: 'Of course, she is a Bachchan, but you should know that in the industry and professionally, she is more famous as Jaya Bhaduri'." Amitabh was last seen with actor Rajinikanth in Vettaiyan, which hit theatres last year. In the film, Amitabh also shared screen space with Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati.
