Amitabh-Jaya celebrate 42 years of togetherness

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has thanked all his fans, whom he fondly calls extended family (Ef), for wishing him and wife Jaya on their 42nd marriage anniversary. The 72-year-old actor who tied the knot on June 3, 1973 with the actress politician said though Jaya is abroad on the occasion, they still feel very close to each other. "Self wishes are the order of the day. They serve both ways. They convey to you the Ef, of my marriage anniversary. And they inform the wife that she has not been forgotten even though she is not in the country at this moment," Bachchan wrote in his blog. The star couple 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.
