Veteran actress Jaya Bachchan does not believe in mincing words and is often seen firmly confronting paparazzi when they crowd her for photos. At a recent event, she spoke about her husband Amitabh Bachchan’s contrasting personality and shared why she married him. She further shared why she does not want her granddaughter, Navya Nand,a to get married.
Speaking with Barkha Dutt at the We The Women event, Jaya Bachchan opened up about Amitabh, saying, “The best thing I like about him is his discipline. I am a big one for discipline. I am a very strict mother.” She further added, “He does not speak. He is not free with his opinion like I am. He keeps it to himself, but he knows how to convey what he wants to at the right time, in the right way… which I don’t! That’s the difference. He is a different personality; maybe that’s why I married him!”
