A tall and thin young man who known for his voice entered the city of dreams had to face rejections because of these two qualities of his. Film makers rejected him for being 6 feet 3 inches and had no confidence in him. He auditioned for a voice test at All India Radio but was rejected.But he did not give it up.He got his first break with the movie Saat Hindustani.
After that he gave 11 flops in a row,even then he continued to work till he got Anand and Zanjeer which changed his life.
Amitabh Bachchan is a perfect role model for us all, not only to the ones who want to become movie stars, but also for the rest of us to extrapolate the learnings and wear the same attitude to fight adversities in our own lives.
He became the Top Star after Sholay. He was giving one hit after another but suddenly in 1982 Amitabh had a near death experience, the doctors and his family had lost hopes after he met with an accident on the sets of the movie ‘Coolie’.
He survived and recovered to become the a superstar for the coming years. He stopped working in films for few years but when he returned back in early 1990s his films did not perform well in Box Office.He was diagnosed Myasthenia Gravis, an ailment which struck him after the fatal accident, the disease makes one feel weak and the person keeps dropping his head but he was able to recover as it was in remission state
Then came another huge downfall in his life at the of 57, in the year 2000 when his movies flopped and he faced another major financial crisis in his life where he lost almost everything he had.
It was Amitabh Bachchan who came back once again by signing the TV serial Kaun Banega Crorepati.In such circumstances and after so many downfalls, anyone can lose strength to move on but he came back and made a fresh start.He even went to Yash Chopra's house to get him a role in his next film.He was given a role in Mohabbatein.On his decision for KBC his wife Jaya Bachchan doubted the transition of a silver screen mega star heading to make a TV show. To which he exclaimed “beggars can’t be choosers”.
He accepted his failures and dealt with his health issues and which helped him to keep going,At 75 he is still in demand,he is one of the top earning heroes of Bollywood
