In 1998, she made her comeback with Ek Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa. During that time, when the veteran actress was asked whether she took Big B’s permission for her comeback, she told Rediff, “He is my husband, not my guardian, for God’s sake.”

In an old interview, Jaya Bachchan had revealed that one of the reasons for her absence from films was she she didn't receive any offers.

Once Jaya Bachchan's father, journalist Taroon Coomar Bhaduri had clarified that Amitabh Bachchan had nothing to do with Jaya's decision of quitting movies after having children. The actress had also strongly reacted once when she was asked about it!

When asked if the actress needed Amitabh Bachchan’s approval before making a comeback, she said, “He is my husband, not my guardian, for God’s sake.” Jaya made this statement in a chat on Rediff in 1997.

The iconic love story of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri, which began over five decades ago, continues to enchant their fans even today. This time, it’s not just their films or on-screen chemistry that is creating a buzz but something far more personal and rare—a wedding invitation that dates back to 1973.
