it is deja vu time for the Bachchan family. Almost 34 years ago, Amitabh Bachchan’s “Zanjeer” became a super-hit and the “jinx” became a top star.
AB did not waste time. He got engaged to long-standing “steady” girlfriend Jaya Bhaduri, a top star already, and silenced any views that a struggling actor, like many before him, was using a top actress to get both publicity and success.
This time, his son Abhishek, who has just delivered his career-best performance in “Guru,” which has opened to great reviews and an increase rather than decrease in collections since its Friday opening, has announced his engagement to not-so-long standing beau Aishwarya Rai on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti Jan. 14.
