Bollywood star Jaya Bachchan arrived in the state capital on Wednesday to visit her ailing mother, Indira Bhaduri, who has recently suffered a spinal injury.
Arriving in the city, Jaya, who is married to superstar Amitabh Bachchan, joins her son Abhishek, who has been with his maternal grandmother since Tuesday night.
Bhaduri, widow of journalist Taroon Kumar Bhaduri, lives in the Shyamla Hills area of the city, not far from the residence of her other daughter, Rita Verma.
The Bhaduris have lived in Bhopal since Taroon Kumar Bhaduri arrived here as a correspondent with a national daily. The sisters grew up in the Shahjahanabad area and are alumnae of the prestigious St Joseph's Convent at Idgah Hills.
