Amitabh Bachchan depends on wife for money, gifts Jaya Bachchan 'gajra'!
Millennium Star Amitabh Bachchan boasts a massive net worth. Reportedly, his movable assets are worth over Rs 471 crore and his immovable assets are more than Rs 332. From going bankrupt in the late 90s to becoming the most bankable actor in his late 70s, Big B's life is no less than a classic 'rags to riches' tale with dramatic twists and turns. But, did you know that the veteran actor asks his wife for money and gifts his wife 'gajra' like any other middle-class husband?
The Kalki 2898 AD actor often makes candid revelations on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). During a recent episode of Season 16, he opened up about his life and talked about his bond with his wife Jaya Bachchan. He also disclosed his financial habits. During the episode, he revealed that he has never used an ATM and he depends on his wife for cash.
During an engaging conversation with a contestant from the India Challenger Week, Priyanka, the contestant inquired if he had ever visited an ATM or kept cash handy.
To this the Paa actor confessed, "Na toh hum apne paas cash rakhte hai, na kabhi ATM gaye hai, kyunki hamein samajh nahi aata ke kartein kaise hai. Lekin Jaya ji ke paas hota hai. Main unse paise maangta hoon (I neither keep cash nor visit an ATM because I don’t understand how to use one. But Jaya keeps the cash. I ask her for money)."
During another lighthearted moment, the contestant inquired if his wife had ever requested him to bring something to him. To this, the Kaante actor said, "Bilkul kehti hain. Keh deti hain, ‘Apne aap ko le aana ghar (Yes! She says to bring myself home)!’"
Further, Big B also revealed his wife's fondness for jasmine flower. He said, Jaya Ji ko gajra bahut pasand hai, toh raaste mein jab chhote bacche haar bechne aate hain, toh main unse kharidta hoon aur woh haar kabhi Jaya Ji ko deta hoon ya kabhi gaadi mein rakh leta hoon, kyunki unki mehek acchi lagti hai (Jaya loves jasmine flowers so I often buy some jasmine garlands from the road and either give it to her or keep it in my car because it has a beautiful fragrance, which I like).”
Well, contestant Priyanka being on the hot seat, asked several witty and candid questions to the KBC host related to middle-class families that were quite engaging and funny at the same time.
