Both have aged well. Jaya is ageing naturally like any woman of her age would. She does not go for plastic surgeries, liposuction or botox or even hair color. She is a grandmother of grown kids and looks like any woman of her age looks.
Amitabh never left her because she sacrificed everything for him, took care of her family and his parents also loved her. She manages that entire household and tolerated Amitabh's whims and affairs. It is she who travelled barefoot to temples praying for him when he was almost dying after Coolie accident and took care of his parents and kids when he was bedridden. It is she whose production house made TV serials succeeded on TV and helped AB earn some money when ABCL failed and he was in debt in 90s. It is she who defended him when Rajesh Khanna mocked him, it is she who worked with him when no one else was working with him in early 70s. It is she who took him to meet producers and her contacts at FTII when he came to Bombay looking for work as an actor.
Anyway Amitabh is into astrology and astrologers told him Jaya was far luckier for him and that his fatal accident on Coolie sets or financial crisis, films flopping was due to Rekha's influence in his life as she had a bad horoscope and was unlucky for any men she associated with. His parents also never wanted him to leave Jaya for anyone else. So due to his parents and astrologers he stayed with Jaya.
A man needs much more than just looks or fancy saree clad woman in a wife. Jaya could have left Amitabh given how he treated her, cheated on her, took her for granted and did not honour her sacrifices and care for him, his family nor respected her as mother of their kids, but she stayed for sake of her kids and in laws. Helped Amitabh handle ABCL failure, maintain family man image and still keeps in politics to keep those well cultivated links of Bachchan family in politics. Jaya defended him when he was tainted post Bofors as well.
Amitabh should be grateful he has a wife like Jaya. Otherwise he deserved to be dumped the way many other star wives left their abusive, drunkard, philandering, negligent spouses.
If he has a so called family man or respectable traditional Indian family image today it is only due to sacrifices of Jaya Bachchan. Amitabh has no face to regret marrying or staying with Jaya given what all she did for him all life.
