Amitabh Bachchan, one of the most iconic and beloved figures in Indian cinema, turned 82 on October 11. With a career spanning over five decades, his influence and legacy are unparalleled in the entertainment industry. Known as the “Shahenshah” of Bollywood, Bachchan’s journey from the ‘Angry Young Man’ of the 1970s to a versatile actor, television host, and cultural icon has been nothing short of extraordinary. Even at 82, his passion for his craft remains undiminished, inspiring generations of actors and fans alike. His life is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and the pursuit of excellence.

Amitabh Bachchan’s life is an inspiration. His resilience, humility, and
dedication to his craft are what I admire most. His journey teaches us that
perseverance is key to success. When it comes to my favourite films, Sholay and
Black top the list. Sholay because it’s an absolute classic, and Black for the
raw emotion he brings to the role. But if I had to pick one film I could watch
endlessly, it would be Piku. His portrayal of an eccentric, loving, yet
difficult father is just too relatable and brilliantly done.

From Amit Ji's life, I’ve learned the power of reinvention. He’s
constantly adapted to changing times, taking on diverse roles and staying
relevant in an ever-evolving industry. Even in his 80s, he remains active and
passionate about his work. It’s a testament to the fact that age is just a
number if you’re truly dedicated to your craft. My favourite films of his
include Deewar, Don, and Baghban. Each role shows different shades of his
acting prowess. The one film I can watch repeatedly is Anand. His role as Dr.
Bhaskar has so much depth, and the emotional weight of the movie always leaves
a lasting impact.
Sumit Khetan
Amitabh Bachchan’s life story teaches us that no matter how big the
challenges, persistence, and self-belief can turn any situation around. He faced
health issues and career slumps, but he never gave up. His ability to keep
pushing forward is something I deeply admire. In terms of his films, Agneepath
and Sarkar are my favourites. The intensity with which he played both roles is
remarkable. The film I can watch again and again, though, is Kabhi Khushi
Kabhie Gham. His character, Yashvardhan Raichand, is such a commanding
presence, and the way he portrays familial values mixed with personal conflicts
is just brilliant.
Rushad Rana
Amitabh Bachchan’s success story is a lesson in resilience and humility.
What I admire most is his humility despite being such a megastar. Even after
achieving incredible fame, he remained grounded, and that’s something very few
people manage to do. His passion for learning and evolving as an actor is truly
inspiring. Among my favourite films of his are Don, Sharaabi, and Paa. In Paa,
he played such a unique role as Auro, and it’s incredible how he completely
transformed himself. But if I had to pick one film to watch repeatedly, it
would be Black. His portrayal of a mentor dealing with Alzheimer’s was simply
heart-wrenching and impactful.
Shiwani Chakraborty
Amit Ji's life is a blueprint for overcoming obstacles. His ability to
turn failures into stepping stones for success is something I’ve learned from.
He faced career lows, financial troubles, and even physical challenges, but
none of it stopped him from reaching the top again.I absolutely love Zanjeer
and Piku. Zanjeer because it gave rise to the iconic ‘angry young man’ persona,
and Piku because it’s such a heartwarming film that shows the complexities of
father-daughter relationships. One film I can watch on repeat is Sholay. His
performance as Jai is subtle yet powerful, and the film itself is a timeless
masterpiece.
Saanand Verma
Amitabh Bachchan sir's life journey is one I truly connect with on a
personal level. He’s faced some incredibly tough moments, from financial
difficulties to major health scares, yet he’s always come back stronger. That’s
something I deeply relate to—how life can knock you down, but if you stay
focused and determined, you can rise again. When it comes to his films, Zanjeer
and Sarkar have always stood out to me. His commanding presence in both is
unforgettable. But the one film that truly holds a personal connection is
Anand. The bond of friendship in that film, and the way Amitabh portrayed his
character’s vulnerability, has left a lasting impact on me.
Delnaaz Irani
Amitabh Bachchan’s story feels like a reflection of what many of us
experience in life—ups and downs, moments of doubt, and then finding the
strength to keep going. His ability to stay grounded while facing immense
challenges has always inspired me. He shows that true success is about
resilience, not just fame or wealth. Personally, Anand has a special place in
my heart. Watching him as Dr. Bhaskar, I felt an emotional connection that has
stayed with me ever since. Another favorite is Baghban, which hits home when I
think about the importance of family. If I had to pick one movie to rewatch, it
would be Piku. It’s light-hearted yet meaningful, much like the everyday
moments in life we often take for granted.
