Jaya Bachchan, who has left an indelible print on the silver screen, turned 66 on April 9.
One day before, her husband Amitabh had tweeted that they were ringing in Jaya's birthday with a quiet dinner with family members - son Abhishek, daughter-in-law Aishwarya, daughter Shweta and their grandchildren Navya Naveli, Agastya and Aaradhya.
Amitabh and Jaya have been married for the past 40 years.
However, the Big B was unable to spend more time with his wife as he was due to catch a flight for Dubai for the premiere of his new film 'Bhootnath Returns.
