In the 1970s, Bollywood saw the rise of an angry young man who redefined Indian cinema forever — Amitabh Bachchan. Born on October 11, 1942, in Allahabad, he faced rejection early in his career due to his deep voice, which ironically became his most iconic feature later.
Despite setbacks, he persisted. His breakthrough came with the film Zanjeer (1973), and from there, he ruled the industry with hits like Sholay, Deewar, and Don. His performances weren’t just acting; they were lessons in intensity and emotion.
But life wasn’t always a blockbuster for him. In 1982, during the shoot of Coolie, he suffered a near-fatal injury. India held its breath. He recovered miraculously, and the nation rejoiced — a rare moment when cinema and real life merged into one emotional script.
In the 1990s, after a career lull and business failure with ABCL, many wrote him off. But Big B made a historic comeback with Kaun Banega Crorepati and films like Mohabbatein, Black, and Piku, proving legends never fade — they evolve.
Today, Amitabh Bachchan is more than a superstar. He’s a symbol of resilience, voice of authority, and a timeless icon in entertainment. His journey is not just inspiring — it’s a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and reinvention.
