Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has once again won the hearts of millions with his candid and humorous revelations about his personal life on the hit game show Kaun Banega Crorepati 18. During a recent episode, a contestant playfully asked the veteran actor if his wife, veteran actress Jaya Bachchan, scolds him whenever he returns home late after long shoot hours. Responding with his trademark charm, Amitabh offered a delightful glimpse into their domestic dynamic, revealing that he has developed a foolproof strategy to prevent any potential scolding at home. He explained that every morning, he sends a polite message on their family WhatsApp group with a folded-hands ‘Namaskar’ to inform everyone in advance about his late-night schedule so they do not wait for him for dinner. He candidly admitted that if he forgets to inform her beforehand, he faces questions about his whereabouts and arrival times, adding that if he gets too late, Jaya simply eats her dinner and goes to sleep.
Further detailing his contribution to household life, Amitabh revealed that he takes full responsibility for managing chores whenever the domestic staff is absent. The superstar shared that regardless of whether they employ multiple staff members, whenever no help is available at home, he rolls up his sleeves and handles all the cleaning himself to keep the house running smoothly. However, Big B humbly admitted that cooking remains one area where he lacks skills. On days when nobody is available to cook, they either order food from outside or he affectionately turns to his wife with a request, saying, “Deviji, please make something”. He added that Jaya gets very excited by his request, happily whipping up delicious, diverse dishes for him and asking for his feedback.
The legendary couple, who tied the knot in June 1973 after falling in love on the sets of their classic films, have been married for over five decades and continue to share an enviable, loving bond. Amitabh’s witty disclosures about his home routine demonstrate that despite his legendary status in Indian cinema, he remains a grounded partner who values clear communication and active contribution to domestic life. Fans across social media platforms have been thoroughly enjoying these endearing family stories, praising the couple’s playful chemistry and mutual affection that continues to shine after so many years.
