First off, happy Independence Days to India and Pakistan!
To celebrate, I thought we would look back at our favorite, and most darling, couple of India: Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan.
Sure, their son married Aish in a big pomp and circumstance ceremony, but nothing beats those intimate weddings from the yesteryears.
On June 3rd, 1973, Amitabh and Jaya were wed in a short and small ceremony in Malabar Hill. They are still going strong forty years later!
This photo is a sometime after the wedding (anyone know the year?). But I looooove those 70s shots with Indian men being all masculine and at the same time, pawing like a kitten for attention.
I can’t say if I feel offended by the sexualization of women or amused at the silly style of photography during this period.
