Abhishek and Jaya were seen entering the SP chief’s ancestral home in Saifai in a news agency-shared video. After getting out of their car amidst a sea of followers who have all gathered there to pay their last respects to the deceased leader, the two were led by police officers.

Since 2004, Jaya has served as a Rajya Sabha member for the SP. The late SP leader Amar Singh, who played a key role in their meeting Mulayam Singh Yadav, was friends with Amitabh and Jaya. In his native hamlet, where the Bachchans were a common sight, Mulayam began the great Saifai Mahotsav when he was the CM of Uttar Pradesh.

Speaking to another agency after the former chief minister’s death, Jaya had called him a family member. Speaking in Hindi, she had said, “I am very sad today. I could speak my mind with him. Such was our bond. He was like an elder in the family to me. He was very nice to my husband and kids as well.”
