Jaya Bachchan made her film debut as a teenager in Satyajit Ray's Mahanagar (1963), followed by her first screen role as an adult in the drama Guddi (1971), directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, in their first of several collaborations. She was noted for her performances in films like Uphaar (1971), Koshish (1972) and Kora Kagaz (1974). She starred alongside Amitabh Bachchan in several films, including Zanjeer (1973), Abhimaan (1973), Chupke Chupke (1975), Mili (1975) and the cult film Sholay (1975), which saw her playing the much-lauded role of a young widow. She won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for Abhimaan, Kora Kagaz and Nauker (1979).
Following her marriage to actor Amitabh Bachchan and the birth of their children, she restricted her work in films, notably starring in Yash Chopra's musical romantic drama Silsila (1981). After a 17-year sabbatical, she returned to acting with Govind Nihalani's independent drama Hazaar Chaurasi Ki Maa (1998). Bachchan won three Filmfare Awards for Best Supporting Actress for playing emotionally-troubled mothers in the commercially successful dramas Fiza (2000), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001) and Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003). After another hiatus, she made her comeback with Karan Johar's romantic comedy family-drama Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023).
Early life
Jaya Bhaduri was born in a Bengali family on 9 April 1948 in Jabalpur, Central Provinces and Berar, Dominion of India.{{cite web |title=Interesting facts about Jaya Bachchan and photos from her younger days |url=https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/photo/jaya-bachchan-birthday-trivia-did-you-know-that-she-was-a-gold-medallist-from-ftii-5074/1 |website=Mid Day |date=9 April 2022 |access-date=28 September 2022}} She is the daughter of Tarun Kumar Bhaduri, a journalist, author, and poet and his wife, Indira.

She studied at St Joseph's Convent School, Bhopal and graduated from Film and Television Institute of India in Pune.{{cite web |title=Smt.

Acting career
Bachchan first starred in Satyajit Ray's Bengali film, Mahanagar (1963) at the age of 14, with Anil Chatterjee and Madhabi Mukherjee. She then appeared in two more Bengali films: a 13-minute short Suman,{{cite news |title=Excerpt: When Jaya Bhaduri Won Over Acting Guru Roshan Taneja |url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/celebrities/book-excerpt-roshan-taneja-memoir-moments-of-truth-my-life-with-acting |access-date=16 November 2020 |work=TheQuint |date=10 November 2017 |language=en}} and the comedy Dhanyee Meye (1971), where she played the role of Uttam Kumar's sister-in-law.Dawar, p. 56
Inspired by her experience with Ray, she joined the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune and graduated with a gold medal.Gulzar, p. 526 Hrishikesh Mukherjee cast her in Guddi (1971), to play the eponymous role of a petite school-girl obsessed with film star Dharmendra.Banerjee, p. 93 Guddi was a commercial success, and created the girl-next-door image for her, which she was often associated with through the rest of her career. While she did venture out to play glamorous roles as in Jawani Diwani, (1972) and a semi-negative character of an amnesia-faking heroine in Anamika (1973), she was most recognised for her roles epitomising middle-class sensibility, which she played amiably in films of "middle-cinema" directors such as Gulzar, Basu Chatterjee and Mukherjee.Gulzar, p. 91 These films include Uphaar (1971), Piya Ka Ghar (1972), Parichay (1972), Koshish (1972) and Bawarchi (1972).Gulzar, p. 396 They also made her a superstar.
In Gulzar's Koshish, Bhaduri and Sanjeev Kumar played a deaf couple who struggle through their difficulties as disabled people. She described the film as "a learning experience" which motivated her to do social work in future.{{cite news |date=23 August 1998 |newspaper=The Tribune |title=I will not allow anyone to dictate terms to me |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/1998/98aug23/sunday/head.htm |access-date=19 September 2011 |author=Maheshwari, Belu}}
She first acted with Amitabh Bachchan in Bansi Birju (1972), followed by B. R. Ishara's Ek Nazar also in the same year. When Amitabh had faced a string of flops and most lead heroines refused to work with him in the Salim–Javed scripted Zanjeer (1973), she agreed to step in. The film turned out to be a big hit creating Bachchan's angry-young-man image.{{cite news |url=http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070422/asp/7days/story_7680318.asp |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121024095912/http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070422/asp/7days/story_7680318.asp |url-status=dead |archive-date=24 October 2012 |title=Another time, another wedding |date=22 April 2007 |work=The Telegraph}} All their successive films as a pair were huge hits – Abhimaan (1973), Chupke Chupke (1975), Mili (1975) and Sholay (1975).
Her daughter Shweta was born around the time Jaya and Amitabh were working on Sholay. Following this, she retired from films and focused on raising her children, making an exception for Yash Chopra's Silsila (1981), once again opposite her husband. During the late 1980s, she wrote the story for Shahenshah (1988), which starred her husband in the lead.

Bachchan's speech during the musical launch of Drona in 2008 was criticised by some sections of politicians in Maharashtra. In response to the film's director, Goldie Behl, making his introductory speech in English, she said in Hindi, "Hum UP ke log hain, isliye Hindi mein baat karenge, Maharashtra ke log maaf kijiye". (Translation: "We are people from UP, so we will speak in Hindi. People of Maharashtra, please forgive us.") Subsequently, she encouraged actress Priyanka Chopra to speak in Hindi.{{cite web |date=8 September 2008 |title=Jaya Bachchan's controversial clip |url=http://specials.rediff.com/movies/2008/sep/08video1.htm |access-date=28 July 2010 |publisher=Rediff}}
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray commented that she had no business referring to all the people of Maharashtra in her statement. He threatened to ban all of her films unless she apologised in a public forum for hurting the sentiments of Maharashtrians. MNS workers began to attack theatres screening The Last Lear, which starred her husband. Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut also criticised her statement, "After making all your success and fortune in Mumbai, if you feel like saying that we are from UP, it's very unfortunate". Amitabh tendered an apology for her statement on her behalf.{{cite web |date=11 September 2008 |title=Raj Thackeray: I accept Amitabh's apology |url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2008/sep/11raj.htm |access-date=11 September 2008 |publisher=Rediff}}{{clear}}
