Throwback: When Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan traveled to London on their honeymoon

When flying was a privilege


YOUR diarist was thrilled to chance upon this delightful throwback picture – Amitabh Bachchan and his travel agent Ashok Rawat, just before the senior actor and his new wife Jaya Bhaduri boarded the flight for their honeymoon in London. It was Bachchan’s first trip abroad, and ‘airport looks’ involved garlands and send-offs then. The couple travelled by BOAC, or British Overseas Airways Corporation, now known as British Airways. Rawat’s daughter Veneeta, who runs the family business now, shared this picture. “Strangely my mum Sunita, then called Yen, was running a salon in Pune, where Jayaji would visit during her Film Institute days. When she moved to Mumbai, she became Saira Banu’s hairdresser and lost touch with Jayaji. Dad knew Mr Bachchan independently,” Veneeta recalls.
