Seems like Amitabh Bachchan adores Kaun Banega Crorepati as much as he adores his wife Jaya Bachchan. In the recent episode, the curious contestant Sumitra Dinesh Kapade asked Big B if Jaya Bachchan ever complains that she doesn’t get enough time with him due to his continuous KBC shooting schedule.
Amitabh Bachchan chuckled heartily and remarked, “Oho kya bataye? Yeh joh parivarik prashn puch lete hai na log yaha aake..usmei humko bada kasht hota hai.” (What should I say? It gets difficult for me to answer a question related to my family.) Nevertheless, the actor reminisced about the days when he juggled shooting in three different shifts for three different movies.
Big B remembered, “Kayi saal beet gaye aur hum aagaye film udyog mei. Edhar kaam karna shuru kardia. Hamara kaam joh tha woh teen teen shift mei hota tha. Subah 7 baje se leke dupahar 2 baje tak ek film ek shift. 2 baje dupahar se leke 10 baje tak raat ko dusri alag film, dusra shift.”
The Piku actor then went on to share how his third shift was from 10 pm to 6 am, shooting for the third movie. “Phir wapas 7 baje wali shift pe jana hai.” The legendary actor also continued by narrating an incident when he returned home once, and his dad (late Harivansh Rai Bachchan) had answered the door.
He had said, “Bole beta tum kaam bahut karte hoh. Hum bole bauji paisa badi mushkil se milta hai.” (My father told me that I work a lot and I said dad getting money is very difficult.)
It was in the end when Amitabh Bachchan said that his wife Jaya does not say anything. Here was the secret spilled off the success behind the megastar. He has been married to Jaya Bachchan for more than four decades.
