My
favorite and world's greatest star Amitabh Bachchan is the prodigious son
of the great Hindi poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Amitabh was born on 11th
October, 1942 at Allahabad in India. He is married to Jaya Bhaduri, a
talented actress herself . It was love at first sight for Amitabh as
Jaya became his spouse and the famous Guddi girl transformed into Mrs.
Bachchan.
One of their children Abhishek has
recently followed the footsteps of his parents and entered the film
industry. Only time will tell whether he will measure up to his father's
success.
Amitabh,
the six feet tall man from the Indian state of
Uttar Pradesh heralded the trend of the angry young man in country's film
industry. Director K. A. Abbas launched him in the film 'Saat Hindustani' which went unnoticed.
But luckily for him Prakash Mehra signed him for 'Zanjeer'
which worked out extraordinarily well for the young star and he never looked
back. Big B has worked almost with all successful directors right from Hrishikesh
Mukherjee to Yash Chopra to Mehul Kumar.
The
versatile actor fits into every mould of acting be it a comic role or a serious
one. He has also done the playback in many of his films. He is a
house-hold name in the country, the people simply adore him. When Amitabh met with
a serious accident on the sets of 'Coolie' the entire nation
united in prayers for his speedy recovery. The prayers turned into a blessing
for the superhero, as he returned to the scene with double the impact.
The
actor's stint at politics was albeit a mix of failures and disappointments
but with his characteristic bright, Amitabh was quick to recoil and return
to his rightful arena.
With
an excellent career and great family life, Big B launched his company ABCL
which is known as Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited which released many films like Mani Ratnam's
'Bombay' and Shekhar
Kapoor's 'Bandit Queen' and commercial film's like Joy
Augustine's 'Tere Mere Sapne' and Sachin's 'Naam Kya Hai'
which was produced under the same banner. Amitabh also utilized his singing
skills in his albums 'Eer Bhir Phatte' and 'Kabhi Kabhi'.
Off late, Amitabh was busy
in the of shooting of his immensely popular tele-quiz-show 'Kaun Banega
Crorepati' which also ensured success in his come-back to movies and also in
reviving ABCL which is slated to come-up soon with film-projects.
Before reappearing
in the second stint of KBC or may be an entirely new Game-show, hopefully in Aug-Sept 2002 Amitabh will surely try to display his sparkle in few movies (see list on your right).
