Had decided if Zanjeer would succeed, we would, along with a few friends, go to London for the first time.. My father asked who are you going with? When I told him who, he said you must marry her before you go.. else you don’t go.. So, I obeyed.” Read his post here:

Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan met on the sets of the 1971 film Guddi and got married almost a month after Zanjeer released in May, 1973. They welcomed their daughter Shweta in 1974 and son Abhishek in 1976.
