Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan once described marriage as the “biggest mistake” of his life, according to his wife Jaya Bachchan—who revealed the remark with her trademark candour and warmth.
Speaking about her decades-long relationship, Jaya said, “I have been married to the same man for 52 years. I can’t love anyone more than this.” Her words reflected pride, humour, and affection toward a bond that has lasted over half a century.
Jaya, a veteran actor and independent political voice in her own right, shared the anecdote lightly, hinting that such dramatic statements were part of her husband’s larger-than-life personality. “He can say dialogue like this,” she noted with a smile, suggesting the line sounded more poetic than literal.
The Bachchans married in 1973 and have remained one of Indian cinema’s most talked-about partnerships. Their story has weathered fame, scrutiny, evolving careers, and the high-volume spotlight that comes with being an industry power couple.
Jaya’s reflection underlined emotional longevity over idealised perfection, proving love after 50 years isn’t about never calling it a mistake—but choosing the same person anyway, every day.
