Jaya Bachchan completed 50 glorious years in Bollywood on Saturday and on this special occasion, her son Abhishek Bachchan shared a post on his Instagram profile.

The actor shared some film stills from Jaya Bachchan’s movies over the years and he wrote a caption along with it, which read, “I’m so grateful to be her son and to see her complete 50 years in the film industry is a moment of pride. Happy 50 years of cinema Ma, I love you.” In the comments section, Jaya Bachchan’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda wrote: “She is love.” Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Chitrangda Singh, and other actors dropped heart emojis in the comments section of the post.

Abhishek’s parents and Bollywood veterans Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan got married in June 1973 and they have featured together in films such as Zanjeer, Sholay, Abhimaan, Mili, Chupke Chukpe and Silsila, among many others. Jaya Bachchan appeared only in a handful of films after the birth of Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Abhishek Bachchan. In more recent years, Big B and Jaya appeared together in movies like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and the 2016 film Ki And Ka.
