Jaya Bachchan recalls seeing ‘danger’ in Amitabh during early relationship
Jaya Bachchan has described how her relationship with Amitabh Bachchan began before either became a major star.
They first met when she was a student at the Film and Television Institute of India in Pune, and later met again while working on the film Guddi.
Jaya said she initially found his staring strange and later saw him as someone who could influence her more than other people could.
They spent time together in groups in Mumbai, but neither openly defined the relationship.
Amitabh once drove five hours from Mumbai to Pune to attend her graduation, which deeply moved her.
Their story offers a glimpse of how the couple’s connection developed, despite Amitabh’s reserved manner.
The account does not say what comes next.

When I first met him, I saw danger.
