No celebrations when Jaya Bachchan turns 60

As one of Indian cinema's most formidable actresses reaches a milestone in her life, there will be no celebrations on the occasion. How unlike her husband Amitabh Bachchan's 60th birthday when there was a huge bash with the who's who of Mumbai attending.
Jaya, alas, believes in no celebration. Her 60th birthday on 9 April will be very quiet affair restricted to her immediate family.
Says a source close to the Bachchans, "Firstly, she wouldn't have celebrated even if things were normal. But this time with the family mourning her mother-in-law's death, there's no question of any celebration. When you tell her turning 60 is an event she shrugs and says it's just another day."
Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai have in fact, left for Miami where Abhishek Bachchan is shooting for Karan Johar's Dostana. It's Abhishek-Aishwarya's wedding anniversary on 20 April. While Aishwarya is expected to stay back until the anniversary, Big B and his wife will return after Jaya's birthday.
Says the Big B, "We're just going to be with Abhishek for a few days. It's Jaya's 60th birthday on the 9th. There will be no celebrations because of the death."
