Jaya Bachchan’s playful accusations against her husband, Amitabh Bachchan, during a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) have charmed fans and sparked discussions about their long-term relationship. The couple, who tied the knot in 1973, displayed their affectionate yet humorous dynamic when Jaya appeared via video call on the show. Her light-hearted jabs included a claim that Amitabh often ignores her calls, saying, “He has 5-7 phones. You call him, and he never answers.” The comment elicited laughter from the audience, as well as agreement from their daughter, Shweta Bachchan, and granddaughter, Navya Nanda.
Jaya further elaborated on her frustration, sharing that when serious issues arise, Amitabh scolds the family for not informing him, despite his inaccessibility. Navya added a personal anecdote, recounting a time when Jaya announced her flight arrival via a group message, and Amitabh took four hours to respond with a simple, “Ok, Jaya, safe land.” This delay was humorously noted, especially since Amitabh was active on social media during that period.
In response, Amitabh defended himself with humor, suggesting he might have been in a no-network area when the messages were sent. Shweta countered by pointing out that during the four hours he was unresponsive, he could have been active on Instagram or working on his blog.
On his blog, Amitabh recently wrote about the ‘neglect’ and ‘avoidance’ in light of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s return to Mumbai. He mentioned dealing with neglected paperwork and responses, and reflected on the use of words like ‘rapidity’ after a period of deliberate avoidance.
This amusing exchange between the Bachchan family not only entertained viewers but also highlighted their enduring affection and playful teasing.
On the professional front, Jaya Bachchan was last seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023), which received positive reviews. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan is currently enjoying success with Kalki 2898 AD, where he plays a significant role as Ashwatthama.
