Today is the birthday of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Amitabh is celebrating his 79th birthday today. Amitabh was born in 1942. He has now turned 79 on October 11. Amitabh who gave superhit films took a lot of stumbling in his career. He initially faced constant pressure from flop films, got injured on the sets of the film, went into politics and then stepped back into the industry. In this way, his career was full of ups and downs.

Born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, Amitabh's father, Dr Harivansh Rai Bachchan, was a famous poet, while his mother Teji Bachchan was from Karachi. Amitabh Bachchan once dreamt of becoming an engineer or going to the Air Force but luck brought him to Bollywood. Today, he is the Badshah of the film industry. You will be surprised to know that Amitabh got down from the hearts of the people by giving 12 consecutive flop films after entering the world of acting. He was also rejected from All India Radio because of his loud voice. After that, his film Zanjeer proved to be a milestone in his career.

The film made a splash at the box office and Amitabh never looked back after the film. For Amitabh, who made his acting debut with 'Saat Hindustani,' the directors initially believed that the lean and taller man had no qualities that would make the audience like him on screen. However, it did not happen. In fact, Big B made a special place for himself in the industry due to the acting, discipline and hard work. Amitabh has received the highest honour from Dadasaheb Phalke Award to Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan.

Not only that, Amitabh Bachchan, who won the National Film Award three times and the Filmfare Award 16 times, is not only an actor but also a playback singer and film producer. He also tried his career in politics but could not step. Many books have been written on Amitabh. Amitabh got only Rs 5,000 for his debut film and today he takes crores for a film.
