Happy Birthday Jaya Bachchan: 5 Priceless Pictures Of The Guddi Actress Which Will Bring A Smile To Your Face
Way back in the early seventies, Hrishikesh Mukherjee was planning to make a film which revolved around a sparkly-eyed school girl who is blinded by her love for Bollywood star Dharmendra. While Hrishida had already roped in Bollywood's He-man to play the star, he was still in search of an actress who could look like a school girl on the celluloid.
A visit to Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) brought him face to face with Jaya Bachchan (then Jaya Bhaduri), daughter of a well-known journalist, Tarun Kumar Bhaduri. Impressed by her diploma films, Hrishkesh Mukherjee offered her Guddi and the rest is history! The young girl was a whiff of fresh air who soon took the Hindi Film Industry by storm with her acting prowess.
At a time when Hindi cinema was ruled by heroines donning beehive bouffants and exaggerated winged eyeliners, Jaya Bachchan in her cotton sarees, flaunting her giggles, paved her own way into the hearts of the audience. With films like Jawani Diwani, Parichay, Piya Ka Ghar, Zanjeer, Abhimaan, Koshish, Anamika and others, the actress had the audience rooting for her each time she appeared on screen.
On Jaya Bachchan's 73rd birthday (April 9, 2021), we bring you five priceless pictures of the veteran actress which make for a perfect walk down the memory lane.
