So why does Abhishek wear 2 watches on 2 wrists?

As per a 2011 India TV News report attributed to news agency PTI, the actor had revealed the secret behind why the Bachchans wear two watches, and said, “The trend of wearing two watches was started by my mom (Jaya Bachchan). Since I used to stay in boarding in Europe, she used to wear two watches to know the time of both the places. Later on, even dad followed her style to be aware of both the time zones. They used to talk to me according to the time in Europe. And this is the main reason for wearing two watches, but dad also made it a fashion now with the upcoming movie (Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap).”

Amitabh was also quoted as saying, “Yes I used to wear two and sometimes even three watches in my normal life. I used to do it for fun or when I wanted some change, so I would do something amusing like this.”
