Amitabh Bachchan celebrates 41st wedding anniversary with son

Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan celebrated his 41st wedding anniversary by spending time with his son as his wife Jaya was away overseas, Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.

"Blessings from the elders, family and extended family makes the day delightful and comfortable, even though the wife is out of the country...41 years! It has been a while in the life of an individual," Bachchan posted on his blog on Wednesday.

"I insisted we (son Abhishek and I) chill at home. So, we chatted and exchanged notes and saw two movies back to back. And when that was over back to our pastime - football and watching the run up to the World Cup," he wrote.

Bachchan, 71, married Jaya on June 3, 1973 and have a son and a daughter.

The 'Bhootnath Returns' star said he believes his children are the biggest strength in his marriage.

"Our report card does not deal with numbers and comments...it merely emphasises the reports of our progeny -- Shweta and Abhishek. They are our numbers, standings, rankings, marks...whatever!" he said.
