When Jaya was dating Amitabh much before Zanjeer

Much before the release of veteran Prakash Mehra directorial “Zanjeer”there were reports that Jaya Bachchan was dating Amitabh Bachchan even before he gave his first big hit.

At that point in time, Amitabh was also a voice over artist. In the midst of those days, Jaya Bhaduri was working with Rajesh Khanna in ‘Bawarchi’ and Khanna was the only superstar.

Reports suggest that in 1970s on the sets of
‘Bawarchi’, Rajesh Khanna told Jaya Bhaduri to not waste her time with Bachchan. Rajesh also said that Amitabh did not have a future in the industry. However, Jaya was surprised and angry after hearing his comments. She cursed Khanna that one day he will see where he will be. She said that he would be ruling the industry one day and Khanna would be there to see that.

Eventually, Khanna also worked with Bachchan in ‘Anand’ which turned out to be a huge hit and continues to be remembered. Amitabh attained stardom post the release of
‘Zanjeer’ and then with back to back movies like Muqaddar Ka Sikandar Laawaris Namak Halaal ‘Deewar,
‘Sholay’ and many more, he came to be called ‘The Angry Young Man’. It was in Zanjeer he got the ‘Angry Young Man’ title. Later in Deewaar and others.
