The iconic love story of Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri, which began over five decades ago, continues to enchant their fans even today. This time, it’s not just their films or on-screen chemistry that is creating a buzz but something far more personal and rare—a wedding invitation that dates back to 1973.

Ahead of Amitabh Bachchan’s 82nd birthday, superstar Aamir Khan, who calls himself the veteran actor’s “biggest fan,” surprised Big B with a special gift—the original wedding card from his marriage to Jaya Bhaduri, now known as Jaya Bachchan post wedding.

The heartfelt gesture took place on the set of the popular quiz show, Kaun Banega Crorepati, leaving Big B both emotional and nostalgic.

During the episode, which also featured Aamir’s son Junaid Khan, Aamir brought out the vintage wedding card, recalling one of the most memorable moments in Amitabh Bachchan’s life.Seated in the hot seat, Aamir playfully asked the veteran actor, “Do you remember your wedding date?” With a hint of a smile, Amitabh promptly replied, “June 3, 1973.” To everyone’s surprise, Aamir then presented the cherished wedding invitation, proof of his claim as Big B’s “number one fan.” The gesture made the legendary actor laugh heartily, as the audience erupted in applause. Aamir’s gift and the camaraderie shared between the two actors was a testament to the deep admiration and respect Aamir holds for Bachchan.

The sepia-toned wedding card has since gone viral on social media, capturing the attention of fans and admirers around the world. The elegant beige and gold-colored invitation bears a touching message from Amitabh’s parents, the celebrated poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and his wife, Teji Bachchan.

The message reads: “The marriage of our son Amitabh & Jaya, the daughter of Smt. & Shri Taroon Coomar Bhaduri was solemnized on Sunday, the 3rd June 1973 at Bombay. Your blessings are solicited.” Additionally, the card features a traditional ‘chopai’ from the Ramcharitmanas, which adds a spiritual touch: “Jab te ram byahi ghar aaye, nit nav mangal modh badhaye.”

The invitation has evoked a wave of nostalgia, especially for those who have followed the couple’s journey since the beginning.

Fans couldn’t help but recall the timeless photos of Jaya Bachchan as the perfect Indian bride, donning a stunning red traditional outfit, complete with a ‘mathapatti’ and bindi, while Amitabh appeared regal in a beige sherwani. The images from their wedding day, filled with simplicity and grace, serve as a reminder of their enduring love and companionship.
