Biography

Amitabh Bachchan is an Indian film actor and television host who grew up in Uttar Pradesh and went to Bombay hoping to become a film star. Casting directors turned him down, preferring lighter-skinned leading men, so his deep voice was put to use in narration and background commentary. A role in Zanjeer brought his breakthrough. A four-year gap in his film work ended with Mrityudaata (1997), a comeback that did not succeed, and his fortunes recovered with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998). On television he presented Kaun Banega Crorepati (2000), an Indian take on the quiz show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. His later hits included Mohabbatein (2000), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001), Baghban (2003) and Khakee (2004). He also sang, appeared in commercials, and was once called Bollywood's Angry Young Man.
