Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan has dropped glimpses from his recent ad shoot with wife Jaya Bachchan, talking about the “camaraderie” and “ingenuity” the real-life couple share on sets even today.

“And before that the Wife and the Husband together on set… for an Ad., and the camaraderie and ingenuity and the commonest of practices when the lighting and the shot construct is taking place,” the 80-year-old wrote in a 4am blog post after extending his Janamashthami wishes to fans.

Before writing the blog, Bachchan took to Instagram to share a slow-motion video from the ad shoot, captioning it “at work”. In the video, a decked-up Bachchan is seen panning the camera to shift the focus from himself to his wife and back to him. Jaya, 75, wears a smile as she sits beside her husband of 50 years.
