The doting son further revealed that when his father took his mother to Allahabad, he received enormous hate as inter-caste marriage was considered a sin back in those days. He said:
“I am getting a little hesitant to say this but she was also a big fan of my babuji (Harivansh Rai Bachchan). My babuji had done an inter-caste marriage. My mataji (Teji Bachchan) was from a sikh family and when we lived in Allahabad, over there getting married in different caste was called a sin during that time.”
