amitabh and jaya::By the third week of may, zanjeer had been proclaimed his first hit, and a week later, amitabh gave us the news that he and jaya were to marry.
The only guests to be invited from our side were the rajans and the gandhis.
I noticed something quite unexpected at beach house: nobody in the family, apart from jaya, showed even the slightest trace of pleasure.
The barat was to consist of the groom himself and the three of us, the five rajans and a party of five baratis : sanjay gandhi, bhagvati charan verma, narendra sharma, krishna kishor srivastava and dr dharmvir bharati.
Amit looked so splendid that his mother prayed to hanuman to protect him from the evil eye.
Then it was time to go out to the three cars that were standing at the ready.
When the neighbours asked what the long decorative strings of light bulbs signified, we explained that amitabh would be shooting a film here the next night.
Nobody had an inkling that a wedding was under way, and the three cars driving off were assumed to be part of the film rehearsals.
The barat was welcomed without fanfare in front of the skylark building; a few people gathered to watch, but there were no crowds.
We went up in the lift, jaya was in her bridal adornment, and for the first time, i saw a bashful shyness on her face and realised what a particular aspect of beauty it is.
She was enough of an actress to be able to simulate shyness, but what i saw now was very natural and real.
A bengali pandit conducted the marriage, whose ceremonial went on late into the night.
The five barati s had dinner and set off home, leaving just the family members to eat alone later when the proceedings were completed.
Then we too took our leave.
Before we left, i embraced the father of my new daughterinlaw and congratulated him on getting a soninlaw like amit, expecting him to say the same in respect of jaya.
