Despite being a woman of few words, Jaya Bachchan speaks at length when it comes to talking about things which are close to her heart. From being a doting mother of Abhishek Bachchan to becoming a loving saasu maa to Aishwarya Rai, Jaya knows how to keep her relationships intact. It was in 2007 when the former Miss World, Aishwarya had become Mrs Bachchan after tying the knot with the man of her dreams, Abhishek.
With bated breath, the entire nation was glued to their TV screens to witness one of the biggest weddings in Bollywood. Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan were the happiest to welcome the gorgeous actress as their bahu.

Even Shweta interrupted and asked, “Don’t do that mom. It’s scary and intimidating,” to which Jaya had replied, “What rubbish.” Moreover, Shweta added, “Slowly ease her into it,” while her mom agreed that it's the Bachchan way of life and it's “not hard.”

Abhishek and Aishwarya’s royal wedding was incredibly intimate, and very selective people were invited to the ceremony. In 2010, Abhishek Bachchan had graced the cult show, Koffee With Karan and explained the reason behind his private wedding. Recalling how his ailing grandmother was in the hospital and how it had made them feel upset, the actor had said:
“People are forgetting a major reason why our family wanted to keep it intimate. I had an ailing grandmother in hospital and my father said, ‘You know, we do not feel good about going out there and having a good celebration’. Did I want to invite? Did her family want to invite the whole world? Yes. Our parents, altogether, sent out a card seeking the blessings of everybody.”
