Rajiv Gandhi’s demise proved to be a big shock not only for the Gandhi family but for the entire country. This was a very difficult time for Sonia Gandhi, Rahul and Priyanka. When this incident happened, Priyanka Gandhi was only 17 years old and Rahul was completing his studies in America. When the news of Rahul’s demise reached Rahul, he immediately returned to India. During this time, a superstar, who was also a close friend of her husband Rajiv Gandhi, stood by her. This superstar not only encouraged them in this difficult time, but also stood by them in this hour of grief and fulfilled their responsibilities like a family member. This person is none other than Amitabh Bachchan.

Gandhi and Bachchan had close relations
There was a time when the Bachchan and Gandhi families had very close relations. The deep friendship between Rajiv and Amitabh was not hidden from anyone. Amitabh Bachchan’s family also played an important role in Rajiv’s marriage. The friendship between the Bachchan and Gandhi families is said to have started through Sarojini Naidu, who introduced Teji Bachchan and Indira Gandhi. Later, Amitabh and Ajitabh became friends of Rajiv Gandhi and Sanjay, and this friendship lasted for years.
There was a deep friendship between Amitabh and Rajiv. Sonia Gandhi is said to have stayed with the Bachchan family for some time before her marriage to understand and learn Indian customs. After the death of Indira Gandhi, Amitabh Bachchan entered politics at the request of Rajiv Gandhi. Even after the death of Indira Gandhi, Amitabh Bachchan stood firmly by Rajiv. There were rumors of bitterness between the two families for some time, but recent videos of Jaya Bachchan and Sonia Gandhi indicate that relations between the two families have improved.
