Amitabh Bachchan. Biography, personal life and failures of the most sought-after Bollywood actor

A tall handsome man with a piercing gaze and aristocratic manners Amitabh Harivansh Shrivastav Bachchan is a living legend in Indian cinema. By the mid-1970s, he became the highest-grossing actor, and at the same time a permanent image was born - a fearless knight, ready to help, to defeat evil and give a hand to the weak.

Childhood

"Star number 1" of the current Bollywood - Amitabh Bachchan. His biography began on October 11, 1942 in northern India, in the small town of Allahabad. Amit was very lucky with his family, since his parents were considered not only intellectuals in the city, but they were known throughout the country.

Amitabha's father is a famous poet and professor Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Mother - Teiji Suri, comes from a very influential aristocratic family. And it is not surprising that such an ideal couple gave a wonderful education to their son. Observing noble manners and the way Amitabh behaves in society, it seems that he absorbed these qualities with the mother's milk. It was Teiji who taught his son to persevere in overcoming all life's difficulties.

Of course, as a child born in such a family, he had to get a good education. After graduating from college at the University of Delhi, Amitabh begins to look for work. But with this affair a series of failures awaited him. Wherever he went, he always received refusals. He was a very shy and modest guy and, during the interview, mumbled something, exhausting the employers at the same time.

And then one day he collects things and moves to Calcutta. It is there that after watching the next Indian film at the cinema, he realizes that he wants to become an actor, so that the whole world knows who Amitabh Bachchan is.

Films with his participation

Arriving in Bombay, he begins to upholster the thresholds of film companies, but everywhere he receives refusals. Some refer to his leanness, others to too dark skin. The first role he got thanks to Indira Gandhi. Commercial success of the film, unfortunately, did not receive, but gave the nomination "Best Young Actor". It was the first step to a successful career, which Amitabh Bachchan was waiting for.

Films with his participation were a success due to his male charm. Each picture with his participation was welcome for the Indian people. The songs of Amitabh Bachchan, which sounded in the films, were known by heart to all of India. He sought to play each role believably and vitally, so that the viewer believed and worried about his hero. And it happened. During the shooting of the movie "Cooley" actor Amitabh Bachchan received a serious injury, and the whole country prayed and worried about his idol.

Today he has 244 roles in his account. In 2016, it is planned to release a new picture called Shantaram, where Johnny Depp will be removed together with Bachchan.

In one of the interviews, Amitabh was asked how long he was going to appear in the films. The actor replied that he would do this while his health allows. If the main roles cease to offer, will play a second plan, ready to even go into the crowd, as it is important for him to be present on the site and enjoy the process of filming.

A family

Amitabh Bachchan, whose biography is full of gossip and intrigue, according to his wife, a good father and husband. The wedding ceremony of Amitabh and Jaya took place in 1973, and the following year, on March 17, they became happy parents of the girl, who was called the beautiful name of Sveta. In 2 years, on February 5, there was one more joyful event - the son Abhishek was born.

The son followed in the footsteps of his father and is now one of the most sought-after Bollywood actors. Abhishek is married to Aishwarya Rai, who in 2011 gave him a daughter.

Shveta married the grandson of the famous actor Raja Kapoor - businessman Nikhil Nanda. The couple brings up two children.

The main woman in the life of an Indian actor

In the mid-1970s, the film "Revenge and Law" was published, where the main character was played by Amitabh Bachchan. His biography at that time was full of scandals, because the actor was convicted of treason.

Jaya Bhaduri stayed with her husband. At one time, no one could imagine that such different people would get married. On the part of Bachchan there were treachery and betrayals, but she continued to love and forgive him, and Amitabh himself said that there was no one better than him, and he would never abandon Jaya.

High fee for hobby for diplomacy

"Politics requires abilities and skill," Amitabh Bachchan once admitted in his interview. The biography of a successful actor was associated with the loss of his close friends. With Rajiv Gandhi, they were great friends, and it was the murder of Indira Gandhi that pushed him to the political arena. He did this to become an emotional friend. The black strip overtook Bachchan after winning the election: the murder of Rajiv, the seizure of property, the trial, and then the transfer to New York. For 2.5 years in politics Amitabh paid a high fee - his name was associated with corruption, theft and deception.
