The star couple had got married after working together in Prakash Mehra's " Zanjeer". Their wedding was a hush-hush affair with only a few of close industry friends and family members in attendance.

"It began to drizzle as I was preparing to leave for the location of the wedding in Malabar Hill at a dear friend of Jaya's father .. our neighbours came running out and said 'hurry up and depart for the wedding, this rain is a good omen'..."

Their wedding also paved way for two other persons in their families -- Bachchan's late driver Nagesh and Jaya's maid -- to tie the knot.

"Left in my pride of the moment a Pontiac coupe, driven by long serving and dedicated driver Nagesh, who married Jaya's maid soon after we got married ... Nagesh's son Rakesh now works with us at Jalsa... Nagesh passed away some years back...," he added.
