Today, even though the pairing of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan is considered an example in Bollywood, but do you know that before meeting Jaya Bachchan, a young and struggling Amitabh Bachchan’s heart used to beat for a British Airways employee? Yes, this is an unheard story of his life, about which hardly anyone knows.
This story is from the period when Amitabh Bachchan was struggling to make his place in films and used to work in a shipping firm in Kolkata.
Who was that girl who stole Big B’s heart?
She was not a Bollywood actress, but an employee working at British Airways in Kolkata. At that time, Amitabh Bachchan often used to visit the famous Prince’s Ghat in Kolkata with his friends. It was there that his eyes fell on this beautiful British girl, and he fell in love with her at the very first sight.
Used to travel miles just to get a glimpse
This one-sided love was so deep that Amitabh Bachchan would often drive to Connaught Place, where the British Airways office used to be, just to get a glimpse of the girl. He would become happy just by seeing her from a distance and would come back.
Amitabh Bachchan himself had shared this story in one of his interviews many years ago. He had told that he could never muster the courage to express his feelings to that girl. It was just an innocent and distant crush, which with time became a beautiful memory.
After some time, Amitabh moved to Mumbai and found his life partner Jaya Bachchan, and the rest is history. But this incident still reminds us of that young Amitabh, who before becoming a star was exactly like us and you, who also had untold things and innocent loves in his heart.
