  His first breakthrough came in the casting of Saat Hindustani. He got a break in Bollywood after the introduction letter of the then Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi, as he was a friend of his son Rajiv Gandhi. He then acted in the film Janazir again with Jaya Bhaduri. People liked this film very much. This was the first film of his success.

  He married Jaya Bhaduri, an accomplished actress and had two children, Shweta and Abhishek. Shweta is married, lives a non-film life and has two children.

  Being a friend of Rajiv Gandhi, he got a chance to contest for the Congress seat from Allahabad, but had to leave midterm due to controversies, especially after Rajiv and he was implicated in the infamous "Bofors" case with the Hinduja of Britain .

  After a break of four years, he returned from the film Angel of Death (1997), but the film was a failure. Which the actor wanted to forget. But he later saved his career with the films Big Mr. and Little Mr. (1998). But in 1999 he was seen in All Time Low due to four flops and a debt of over Rs 90 crore from his sinking company ABCL. To make matters worse, after the defeat of the Congress party, Amitabh lost considerable political support, the opposition targeted him and his credit rating deteriorated to such an extent that a leading nationalized bank, Canara Bank, accused him of outstanding loans.

  His son, Abhishek, is also an actor by his own rights. Amitabh and Jaya were interested in Abhishek getting married to Babita and Randhir Kapoor's daughter Karisma, whom he had formally engaged to, but later broke it.

  Former Miss World and Bollywood actresses, Aishwarya Rai, and Abhishek formally engaged on 14 January 2007 at the Bachchan residence in Juhu, Bombay and were married on 20 April 2007 at Bachchan's residence.

On November 16, 2011, he became a grandfather when Aishwarya gave birth to a daughter in a Mumbai hospital. She is already the maternal grandfather of Navya Naveli and Agastya - Shweta's children.

Carrier:

  In the early days, Amitabh Bachchan worked as a business executive in Calcutta (Kolkata) and performed in theatre before embarking on a film career. Bachchan made his big screen debut with the film Saat Hindustani (1969), and received several Filmfare Awards for his performance in the film Anand (1971).

  His first major breakthrough came from the film “Zanjeer” (1973). His films included many action films including Sholay (1975), and Don (1978). Nicknamed "Big B", Bachchan used in Indian films as a new type of action star, who is "angry young" rather than a romantic hero. Amitabh Bachchan was famous for his versatility, and his many roles showed his talent in singing, dancing and comedy.

  By the late 1970s, Bachchan had appeared in more than 35 films. A horrific accident on the set of his film Coolie in 1982 touched the spirit of national prayer for his recovery.

  Amitabh Bachchan entered politics on the encouragement of his friend Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. He was elected to the Parliament of India by an overwhelming majority in 1984, but resigned his seat in 1989, after which the Gandhi government was implicated in the bribery scandal.

  Bachchan made a comeback to the film and won the National Film Award for his role of Mafia Don in Agneepath (1990). He later starred in super hit films such as "Mohabbatein" (2000) and Black (2005). These films also received many awards. Bachchan won another National Film Award for the latter film, and he also received that honour for his performance in the drama Paa (2009), playing the role of a boy who suffers from an aging disease like Progeria.
