Mini Bio
Son of well known poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan. He has a brother named Ajitabh. He completed his education from Uttar Pradesh and moved to Bombay to find work as a film star, in vain though, as film-makers preferred someone with a fairer skin, and he was not quite fair enough. But they did use one of his other assets, his deep baritone voice, which was used for narration and background commentary. He was successful in being cast in Saat Hindustani. He got his break in Bollywood after a letter of introduction from the then Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi, as he was a friend of her son, Rajiv Gandhi. This is how Amitabh made an entry in Bollywood, starting with Zanjeer, co-starred with his future wife Jaya Bhaduri, and since then there has been no looking back.
He married Jaya Bhaduri, an accomplished actress in her own right, and they had two children, Shweta and Abhishek. Shweta is married, lives a non-filmy life and has two children.
Being friends with Rajiv Gandhi, got him to decide to run for seat in the Congress from his hometown but had to leave midterm because of controversies, particularly after Rajiv and he were implicated in the now infamous "Bofors" case along with the U.K. based Hinduja Brothers.
After a four year break, he was back in the unsuccessful Mrityudaata(1997), a comeback which the actor wanted to forget. Critics written him off but his career was saved with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan(1998). But four flops in 1999 and incurring debt of over 90 Crores rupees of his sinking company ABCL saw him at an all-time low. To make matters worse, after the defeat of the Congress party, Amitabh lost considerable political support, the opposition made him a target, and his credit rating deteriorated to such an extent that a leading nationalized bank, Canara Bank, sued him for outstanding loans. He did bounce back, presenting the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire called Kaun Banega Crorepati?(2000). After a series of hits with Mohabbatein(2000), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham.(2001) and Baghban(2003) and Khakee(2004), this elderly Bachchan is showing no signs of slowing down and proving the critics wrong once again.
His son, Abhishek, is also an actor by his own rights.
Amitabh and Jaya were interested in getting Abhishek married to Karishma, the daughter of Babita and Randhir Kapoor, they went through a formal engagement, but later broke it off.
The former Miss World and Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai, and Abhishek, were formally engaged on Sunday January 14, 2007, at the Bachchan residence in Juhu, Bombay, with the marriage taking place at the Bachchan residence on April 20, 2007.
On November 16, 2011, he became a Dada(Paternal Grandfather) when Aishwarya gave birth to a daughter in Mumbai Hospital. He is already a Nana(maternal grandfather) to Navya Naveli and Agastye - Shweta's children.
He continues to be one of the busiest actors and singers in Bollywood as well as on TV, as can be seen from the commercials that he appears on, especially on Sahara One. Looks like there are no limits for this super-star and once the "Angry Young Man" of Bollywood.
Trademark deep baritone voice, the tall, brooding persona, and intense eyes, Amitabh Bachchan, in 1975-84 the "angry young man" created. He is the son of the late poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan was born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. Sherwood College, Nainital, and Kirori Mal College, Delhi University, he moved to Calcutta from education to work for shipping firm Shaw and Wallace. Later, he moved to Bombay to fight for a few days to get his foot in the door and Hindi film industry. In 1960, the Indian hero, trademark -, lanky dark, brooding and intense personality, who is the director of the wise-cracking, Fair did not go down with the person you were looking for. Start with the low-key Saat Hindustani, a deaf-mute and Bachchan, playing a role in the fight for the voice-over, and in one instance was relegated at the time. His real-life love interest and future wife Jaya Bhaduri in 1973, playing opposite Zanjeer(Chain) broke through. His personality seemed apt for the post of the state of emergency, underemployed youth cult to capture the growing resentment and violence. Bachchan Deewaar, Sholay, Trishul, Don and Shakti as the image of the hero of the hit Hindi film reworked. The former screen idol Dilip Kumar, adaptive behavior, and added his pomp, he fell popular melodrama. He proved that he is the tragic(Deewar, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Shakti) and comedies(Chupke Chupke, Don, Naseeb, Amar Akbar Anthony) was, along with an equal flair. His most memorable performance as a renegade against Deewaar was a harsh society. Amar Akbar Anthony, after which he revealed the role of Cathlolic bootlegger! - Similar to the "masala" role, that action movies, comedy, tragedy, and romance in a character played. The catastrophic consequences of the movie, Amitabh was in disarray with the story rather than the plot-driven shows. Superstar Amitabh Bachchan was dubbed, sharing that title with Rajesh Khanna in the middle of a lot of flops and 1980s.From 1985-1999, he was the man repeatedly criticized for playing the same role in 1975. Breach Candy Hospital in a long line of people prayed for his recovery, his biggest star status underscoring - the height of his popularity, he was injured in an accident while shooting for the film Coolie. The film released in 1985 as a Congress candidate from Allahabad constituency member of parliament, as a favor to her family friend, Rajiv Gandhi - India's new prime minister. Financial irregularities(in which he was completely cleared after) a report on his involvement in the decision to step down as a member of parliament made. His return was lukewarm as the Hindi film industry in 1987 and was moved to a new, younger heroes of Angry Young Man with more conviction essayed. His next role as Bachchan films flicker of emotion that had marked previous attempt in 1970 did not show seemed to have lost its heart. In 1984, the first time since 1976, the film flopped, and in 1989, 3 films can not recover their money(Hindi film industry is a film that flopped a distributor's price, not the producer does not recover its costs). In the 1990s, a series of lackluster films is a long overdue departure, the general pointed to many other stars. A seemingly well-thought-out initiative to start a production company ABCL landed him an immense debt. Surprisingly, she burst back with a double-law: one, the game is a brand that strict patriarch, and in turn, could market itself as some reinventing. He is a Millionaire(Kaun Banegaa Crorepati) by hosting the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a start in the latter.

Rejoice in the third film, which became a hit, and he got the best supporting actor Filmfare Awards. Amitabh was getting the role, but they were not significant. Finally, he is a "Zanjeer'first choice to act in roles for which he has not had the opportunity. The film turned out to be a super-hit. Then the silver screen in a new avatar of an" angry young man "was on the rise. But there was one aspect of his. He is a poet(Kabhi Kabhi), a decent professor(oath Wade), a comedian(Chupke Chupke, Amar Akbar Anthony, Don), a dying lover(Mukaddar Ka Sikander picture) .He has almost all kinds of roles. in 1973, after the release of Zanjeer Amitabh married Jaya Bhaduri. he became a father at the time of the release of Chupke Chupke. 26th July 1982, "porter" he was seriously wounded during the shooting of candy was admitted to the hospital breech. the whole nation prayed for his speedy recovery and a new life in God's grace he was gifted with.

Mrs Gandhi, Amitabh also politics in 1984 after the death of her hand try. He then called Indian politics Chankya, Hemvanti defeated Nandan Bahuguna. But how things went wrong and he fell into the trap of playing dirty politics of anti-Rajiv Gandhi. However, in this period of his classic "The Azad Hoon" and "Agneepath'was released, but was getting old Amitabh. Amitabh decided to take a break in 1992, was the latest release of Khuda Gawah. He is a versatile commercial enterprise, which was launched ABCL . the major failure was unthinkable and he was surrounded by debt. this is how he survived but he proved again that he is an ordinary man who lived and hard to imagine that he will not die. with'Kaun Banega Crorepati' and'Mohabattein " he redefined his position in Indian cinema. Amitabh emerged once again as a winner and critic who declared "finished" slap. even at this age the role was written for him. every film of his / her dream cast him in the film. he millennium BBC Star poll, for example, for the survey at the Stardust and even Madame Tusad figures were announced. this is not merely coincidental! God bless him

I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.
Everyone must accept "that we will age and age is not always flattering".
I wish I had time to learn all the languages of our country, I wish I knew how to play a musical instrument. There are many things that I feel I have missed out on.
(Referring to Abhishek Bachchan) "Like any other father I feel proud to see my son on the silver screen."
The amount of things I have been through and the remarkable ways in which the body has reacted is just phenomenal. No wonder I became religious, because you don't know why something's happening to you and you don't know how you bounced back.
His thoughts on working in Hollywood: "You don't see Indians in Hollywood films around which a story can revolve. As soon as we have a social presence in your society, I am sure there will be many actors from our part of the world that will be acting in Hollywood films. I have always been a great admirer of Marlon Brando, Al Paccinno, Robert De Niro. I would love to walk into the frame, hold their briefcase!"
(2000) Whether it was in sets of Anand or Namak Haram, we never bickered or argued or tried to upstage one another in any manner. On the contrary Kaka does'n know this, but when I was working in Calcutta and keen to join films, the inspiration to join was Mr. Rajesh Khanna. Kaka had succeeded in Filmfare contest and I said "My God, here is an excellent opportunity where somebody is actually auditioned and here this gentleman who has made it and is doing so well." Then wonder of wonders in 2 years Hrishida asked to work with Kaka. It was a dream come true for me.
(1991) It was a dream come true for me because of there was this great admiration for Kaka and his phenomenal success. The hysteria that he evoked was witnessed for first time in Hindi Films. And we were all part of that hysteria that followed Kaka. I got famous purely because I was working with Rajesh Khanna. People came and asked me questions like "How does he look?" So I became very important, thanks to Kaka. I have always maintained that person who is my senior will always remain senior. I have never argued about billings because I don't think they mean anything. And I have had always greatest respect for Kaka.
Rajesh Khanna for me will remain the only superstar in true sense. He appeared in 153 films by 1991 - that is in a span of 25 years which already included 101 solo hero films and did only 21 multi star-cast films. Everyone knows his involvement in music of his films.He was so hardworking that each year he had minimum 3 films releasing and still managed to give 95 jubilee hits! Hats off to him. My achievements are no-where near him. In-fact I did more multi star-cast films and less solo hero films than him. Once I got success in angry young man genre I had to stick to it and whenever I tried to do something different it was a failure so I stayed away from experimenting much. But Khanna never bothered about such things. In-spite of not working much after 1991 he has done 180 films and Am far behind him. I have highest regards for him since the 1965 when I heard about him then my respect only increased when I worked with him and till date I regard him as a greater actor.
