Actor Amitabh Bachchan is the son of very well known poet Harivanshrai Bachchan whose contribution to Hindi literature has been incredible. Bachchan never misses an opportunity to show respect towards his father, sometimes, either by quoting his poems and how inspirational they are. More often than not, he largely misses his father and mother Teji Bachchan and recalls fond memories with them. In a recent episode of 'Kaun Banega Crorepati', Big B opened up on his father's first wife who passed away.
He said, "My father’s first wife passed away. Uske baad wo gambhir sthitti mein chale gaye, bahut depressed state mein the aur jitni bhi kavita unhone likhi, uss zamaane mein, bahut dark thi. Bahut dukh ke saath bhari hui thi. Kuch varsho ke baad, wo kavi samelan karte the thaaki kuch paise mil jaate the (He slipped into a serious, depressive state of mind after his first wife passed away. He wrote many poems that were sad and dark in nature. After a few years, he began participating in poetry gatherings)."
Bachchan then recalled how his father met his mother Teji. "He had a friend in Bareilly and got an invite to meet him. My father went to meet him. During the dinner, he was requested to narrate a poem. But before my father could begin, his friend asked his wife to call in Teji. That’s where he met her," said Big B.
Sharing more details by his father about that meet, Bachchan said that his father described Teji as a beautiful woman and also remembered the clothes she had worn when they met that day for the first time. She quietly listened to his poem as he read, "Kya Karu Samvedna Lekar Tumhari." She was in tears on hearing it and this friend left them alone in the wrote. A while later, this friend came out with a garland and asked Harivanshrai Bachchan to place it on her. Bachchan revealed that was the day he decided that she was his life partner.
