    Trivia

    Teji Bachchan
    • Teji Bachchan was suffering from liver problems and also dementia, a disorder which leads to gradual memory loss. It is said that in her last few months she was unable to recognise even her family members. The Bachchans decided to get her admitted to the hospital to ensure she could get top-class medical attention round-the-clock.

    • Sadly, the warm relationship between the Gandhis and Bachchans soured after Rajiv Gandhi became prime minister upon Indira's death. To her credit, Teji Bachchan consistently maintained a dignified silence over the Rajiv-Amitabh controversy. Even the Bachchans have chosen never to comment about it.

    • When the Rajiv-Sonia marriage was finally fixed in 1969, Sonia and her family had nowhere to stay in New Delhi. As per Hindu customs, a betrothed girl cannot enter her in-laws' house before marriage. Once again, Teji Bachchan came to the family's help. Sonia and her family moved in briefly and stayed at the Bachchan's New Delhi residence all through the wedding. After the wedding, Indira's elder daughter-in-law moved into the Gandhi household.
