/> Karan Johar's catch-line from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham---'It's All About Loving One's Family'—is eminently applicable to the Bachchans.

No important event in the life of any member of the family goes unattended by the entire clan. Now when after a long and arduous battle with the government, Jaya is ready to re-enter Rajya Sabha, it's unimaginable that her loved ones won't be there for her.

Unfortunately son Abhishek won't be able to leave Durban where the tightly –packed schedule for the climax Sanjay Gadhvi's Dhoom 2 is being shot.

But the incurable miracle worker that he is, Amitabh Bachchan, who's currently shooting for B.R. Chopra's Baabul in London, is going to make the impossible happen. He flies out of London for barely 48 hours just to share the big moment in his wife's life as a politician.

Says AB, "I left for Mumbai on Sunday, then proceeded to Delhi to attend Jaya's swearing-in ceremony. Then I'm back immediately after on Tuesday in London to resume the shooting of Baabul."

After completing the schedule in London AB returns to Mumbai on 28 July to move on to other pending assignments.

How does he manage it? Says one of AB's keenest admirers and friends. "You must understand work is his God. You cannot take his work away from him. Sure he has had a health setback. But he knows he can't take it easy. To him that would mean a kind of defeat that he can't take."

Adds Gulzar, "Amitji has today out-distanced every legend of show business in the country. He's still comparatively young. And look at the energy level. Look at how he matches steps with Aishwarya Rai and his son in Kajra re."

As usual AB is nonchalant at the observations. "I don't sit and think about how much I've done. There's too much to do. A commitment is a commitment. As long as I'm getting good work I'll continue. Afer this schedule of Baabul I'm again back in London at the end of August. As for Jaya's swearing into the Rajya Sabha, there's no way I'd miss that."
