It’s yesterday once more?

Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan relived their Abhimaan moment on stage recently. The Bachchans are currently in New York as a part of their Unforgettables Tour.

According to a member present in the audience, just after Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai got done with their performance, the music video of the 1973 hit number ‘Teri bindiya re’ (which is picturised on Amitabh and Jaya) was played.

Abhishek escorted Jaya to the stage while Aishwarya accompanied Amitabh, who called for a special stand for Jaya to match up to his height. Amitabh lovingly slipped a bangle onto his wife’s wrist, while she gifted him a ring.

Then they embraced each other. Getting sentimental in old age, sir? Says Amitabh, “No, no. The entire episode was staged and a part of the act. We used props.”

Yet Amitabh does mention on his blog that the act was definitely special. He writes, “Jaya and I had our additional moment. I could not help but get personally emotional while delivering my dialogue.”
