DHAKA: Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan celebrate their 41st wedding anniversary today.

As much as most of us would like to believe it, marriages aren't made in heaven.

They're made with love, patience and effort, right here on earth, after two individuals decide to spend the rest of their lives in each other's company "for better or for worse."

And if this union happens to be between a Bollywood star/s the greater the stress, be it an insanely hectic lifestyle, constant invasion of one's privacy, relentless media scrutiny or close proximity to co-stars.

At a time when marital splits are widespread, there are still quite a few Bollywood marriages that continue to stay rock solid.

One of them happens to be Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan who celebrate their 41st wedding anniversary today, June 3.

The duo starred opposite each other in cherished films like Zanjeer, Abhimaan, Mili, Sholay and Chupke Chupke and weathered several ups and downs together to become the role model jodi for their kids -- Abhishek and Shweta.

On that bright note, here's a look at film industry's other celebrity couples happily married for over two decades.
