News India Live, Digital Desk: Remember the 90s? When Salman Khan’s films used to come and there was definitely a face of a smiling, idealistic and ‘cultured’ father in them. Be it the loving father of ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’, the sensible father-in-law of ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’ or the head who keeps the entire family together in ‘Hum Saath Saath Hain’, this face belonged to only one actor – Rajeev Verma. Rajeev Verma left such an impression with his characters that he became famous as the ‘Sabse Pyaare Babuji’ of Bollywood. But do you know that this veteran actor, who became Salman Khan’s father on screen, has a very deep and familial relationship with the megastar of the century Amitabh Bachchan in real life? This is such a truth, about which hardly anyone would know. What is Rajiv Verma’s connection with the Bachchan family? You will be surprised to know that Rajiv Verma and Amitabh Bachchan are relatives in real life! Actually, Rajiv Verma is married to Jaya Bachchan’s real sister Rita Bhaduri (Rita Bhaduri, now Rita Verma). In this respect, Rajeev Verma seems to be the brother-in-law of Amitabh Bachchan. Despite this connection being so close, both the families never let it come into the limelight of Bollywood and always maintained respect for each other. Rajiv Verma’s wife Rita Verma has also been a well-known personality herself. Not only has she worked in some films, but she has also been associated with a prestigious institute like FTII (Film and Television Institute of India). Rajiv Verma is not just ‘Babuji’, he is also a seasoned actor. Even though we know him as Salman Khan’s ‘Bapu’, Rajiv Verma’s identity is not only this.
