Jaya Bachchan (born April 9, 1948 in Calcutta - now Kolkata), is an Indian film actress. She is an alumna of the Film and Television Institute of India. After initial success in her native West Bengal, she moved to Mumbai and starred in many Hindi films. In 1973 two films came out which were Zanjeer and Abhimaan. Her co-star in the film was Amitabh Bachchan whom she had fallen in love with. On June 3, 1973, she married him. The marriage produced two children: Shweta Bachchan Nanda (b. 1974) and Abhishek Bachchan (b. 1976). After her son Abhishek was born she retired from films for a few years and focussed on raising her children. However, she came back in 1981 with Silsila and continued after that.
She stars rarely in movies these days, although she does also some stage-shows. Of late, Bachchan became active in politics, notably with the Samaj Wadi party.
A number of movies that both of them have acted together supposedly reflect their real life stories. In Abhimaan, Amitabh portrays a jealous husband of a more successful artist. In Silsila, Amitabh has an extra marital affair with a woman played by Indian actress Rekha (with whom he supposedly also had an affair in real life) while being married to Jaya.
