Amitabh Bachchan shares priceless pictures from his wedding day on Instagram

Bollywood’s legendary couple Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan marks their 47th wedding anniversary on June 3.

Amitabh met Jaya Bachchan on the sets of the 1971 film Guddi and got married almost a month after Zanjeer released in May, 1973.

In his post on Instagram, Big B revealed that he wanted to celebrate the success of Zanjeer with Jaya in London, when he faced a query from his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan.

“My Father asked, who are you going with? When I told him who, he said you must marry her before you go.. else you don’t go.. So, I obeyed!”

Amitabh, however, shared a priceless throwback picture from his wedding day:
