Jaya Bachchan On Amitabh-Rekha Rumors
In an interview to the People magazine 2008, Jaya Bachchan addresses the conversation where she revealed how she kept her marriage strong amid the love affair rumors.
“By just leaving him alone. You have to have the conviction. I married a good man and a family that believes in commitment. You must not get too possessive, especially in our profession, where you know things aren’t going to be easy. You can either drive the artist crazy, or you can help him or her grow. And if he goes, then he was never yours.”
