Amitabh Bachchan Shares Story of Jaya Bachchan's Nickname and Father's Intervention
During a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Amitabh Bachchan shared that his wife, Jaya Bachchan, affectionately called him 'Lambu ji' (Mr. Tall) for many years after their marriage. However, his father, poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan, asked her to stop using the nickname and instead address him by his name. The conversation also included Ranbir Kapoor discussing imagined height dynamics between himself, Amitabh, Alia Bhatt, and Jaya Bachchan, adding a lighthearted touch to the discussion.
