After marriage, he didn't want his wife to work regular hours. Additionally, Amitabh and Jaya had to reschedule their October 1973 wedding since Amitabh's father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, had not permitted them to take a holiday together before the wedding.

Kalki 2898 AD is getting all the hype but it’s not just because of the trailer but everything that came before that. The movie has finally been released and we are here with the box office results.

The actor said on his blog that he had ordered the scared book to be delivered to his home, but upon receiving it, he discovered that Mahabharat should not be kept at home. Big B chose to keep the holy book in his library as a remedy. Amitabh clarified that he purchased the book to gain more information about the script.

Shalini Pandey, widely known for her leading role as Preethi in the Vijay Deverakonda starrer Arjun Reddy, revealed how she was body-shamed after the film. In an interaction with India Today, the actress was asked why she did not receive the same kind of acclaim as Kiara Advani, who played the role in Kabir Singh.
