The actor said: "I know what you're going to ask."
The contestant laughed and asked: "Sir, how has your experience with the name Jaya been?", referring to Jaya Bachchan.
To this, the âSholay' actor said: "Well, my experience... (goes speechless)⦠It's Jay-Ju. She's strict and lenient too."
"I'm saved. I have to go home. I don't want to be thrashed. So, when she's strict it's better if you stay in. Stay locked in your room or go out for a while. When she's lenient, it's great. That's how she is towards her kids and everyone else," said the 80-year-old actor.
He further said: "She's stricter with me. Why did you ask me this? When I will watch this show with her, she will scold me."
"It scares me so I don't talk much about my personal life," added Amitabh.
