This is my Maruti 800. Often referred to as poor man's car. But this car has been my true companion for most of the bhankanti trips. Its getting old now but the association is still going strong.. I call it Rampyari. Same like Amitabh Bachhan used to call his old car in movie "Akela". :D

Cette figure en pied représente Avalokiteshvara, le bodhisattva de la compassion, l’une des entités les plus vénérées du bouddhisme du mahâyâna. Il est identifiable grâce au petit « Buddha de l’Ouest », Amitâbha, visible dans sa couronne. Son front est paré d’un diadème quelque peu inhabituel qui pourrait relever d’influences étrangères. Par sa position légèrement déhanchée, et son modelé subtil et doux, cette oeuvre est caractéristique de l’art du Phnom Da. Le visage présente un nez long, fin et légèrement aquilin la chevelure est traitée en mèches calamistrées tombant en cascade dans le dos. Le vêtement est une simple dhotî au plissé rayonnant. Le poli soigné de la sculpture, caractéristique de bien des oeuvres au Cambodge, accentue la douceur des transitions entre les masses qui constituent le corps, tout de sobriété et de mesure. Ce traitement raffiné et détaillé des éléments qui composent le visage ainsi que le soin apporté à l’exécution générale pourraient impliquer un patronage royal.
Les étais assurant une meilleure solidité et soutenant chaque bras, se retrouvent dans de nombreuses rondes-bosses de l’époque préangkorienne, encore techniquement hésitante.

I tried my level best to help this heart broken man lying on the pavement at Bandra SV Road .
He was in a very bad shape I posted his video of his helplessness as both his knees have deteriorated he can't walk at all.
He does his natural calls where he sits and the stink is unbearable and yet I saT next to him shot two more videos when nothing happened my friend Raajeev RT my first video link at Twitter tagging Me Devendra Fadnavis Our CM MumbaiPolice Mr Amitabh Bachchan Mr Salman Khan Mr Akshay Kumar Mr Sonu Soon Ms Priyanka Chopra all gravy weights of Mumbai.
The RT got an immediate response I got a call from the Police Commissioners office I gave them the location of the man I also got a call from Bandra Police I gave them the location of the man sitting diagonally opposite Sayba Restaurant Bandra.
The India Now team came to my house took my byte I told them all that he had told me that both his sons Rahim Khan and Zamir Khan are in America and he has been abandoned by them and his wife Parveen from Mumbai.
I don't know the veracity of his story but what matters is that he is a citizen of Bandra he can be rescued sent to an old age home and be rehabilitated till he is reunited with his family.
The India Now team after taking my byte met him and they informed me that the ambulance was coming next morning.
And I tried to follow up his case after DNA newspaper wrote about him.
To my shock two days after the incident he is still sitting there he informed me that the cops had come they wanted him to leave the spot but he told them he could not walk so they left him unattended.
I don't know the vision of the cops so I will give them a benefit of doubt.
The old man is incoherent but he is not a drunkard or a drugaddict.
And here I end his story I was called by Zee News they took his story and we were to meet him and me this morning.. But I got a call a call from their journalist the producers found it an incomplete story so they were dropping it.
I wish Aziz Khan was citizen of Manipur and not of a heartless citizen of mumbai.
He could have been saved reunited with his family.
I as a citizen journalist on social media tried my level best through Facebook Twitter Flickr and You Tube
The magic of Gambhir Singh did not work.
Map Karo Malik
The reply I got from Mumbai people on this case.
What if Aziz Khan was not a Muslim and a local son of the soil would it have helped.
I have no answers as Muslim living in Mumbai I have never been discriminated except during the state engineered Hindu Muslim riots in 93.
So I hope somebody comes forward to help him beyond caste color or creed.
Where is Quint.
Mumbai Aj Tak
Update
he was removed by the cops ,, Ihave not seen him after that ..his sons are in America

Bollywood es el nombre informal para las películas en lengua Hindi realizadas por numerosos estudios fílmicos en la ciudad India de Mumbai. La producción de Bollywood ha tomado fuerza a nivel mundial, y muchas de sus películas son aclamadas por los mejores críticos. En cada película se incluyen cantos y danzas típicas del país, mezcladas con curiosas coreografías del pop occidental. En esas escenas hay siempre un doblaje. Esto es propio de la tradición de esta industria fílmica, en la que primero se graban las escenas y luego se doblan todos los diálogos (es una práctica que facilita, asimismo, la posterior traducción a otras lenguas).
Es mi película preferida de india, muy alegre y triste a la vez, pero con final feliz, yo siempre que la veo lloro muchísimo, pero es buenísima no me canso de verla y aconsejo de ver.

Bodhisattva TARA
La sadhana de Tara Liberación del dolor, que incluye la oración especial de las veintiuna Taras compuesta por Buda, se realiza con regularidad en los centros de budismo kadampa.
Tara es un Buda femenino, una manifestación de la sabiduría última de todos los Budas. Cada una de las veintiuna Taras es una manifestación de Tara Verde, la Tara principal. A esta Deidad se la conoce también como la Madre de todos los Vencedores.
Tara quiere decir ‘Liberadora’, y recibe este nombre porque nos libera de los ocho temores externos (miedo a los leones, a los elefantes, al fuego, a las culebras, a los ladrones, al agua, a la esclavitud y a los espíritus malignos), y de los ocho internos (los miedos que surgen del orgullo, la ignorancia, el odio, los celos, sostener teorías erróneas, el apego, la avaricia y la duda perturbadora).
A nivel temporal, Tara nos salva de los peligros de los tres reinos inferiores, y a nivel último, nos libera de los infortunios del samsara y de la paz solitaria.
Si confiamos en nuestra Madre Tara con sinceridad y fe firme, nos protegerá de todos los obstáculos y cumplirá todos nuestros deseos. Debido a que es un Buda d e la sabiduría y puesto que es una manifestación del elemento aire completamente purificado, Tara es capaz de ayudarnos sin dilación.

One of my favorite hindi film is Deewar (starring Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor) and I can watch it any given day. Amitabh Bachchan plays Vijay in the film and I absolutely love that character. Vijay becomes the man of the house at a very young age and his childhood goes away in struggle for livelihood.
The eyes of this young boy today reminded me of Vijay from Deewar.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abhishek Bachchan (born 5 February 1976) is an Indian film actor, producer and occasional playback singer.
Bachchan made his acting debut in the drama film Refugee (2000). After earning little praise for his roles in a series of commercially unsuccessful films, he starred in the action thriller Dhoom (2004), a box office hit and the first film in the popular Dhoom series.[1] Bachchan received critical acclaim for supporting role in Yuva (2004), and starred in commercially successful films like Bunty Aur Babli (2005), Sarkar (2005), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and Guru (2007).[2] He also starred in Dhoom 2 (2006), Dostana (2008), Paa (2009), Bol Bachchan (2012), Dhoom 3 (2013) and Happy New Year (2014).[2] He produced Paa along with Sunil Manchanda which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.
Married to actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai, Bachchan comes from an illustrious Bollywood family.[3][4] His father Amitabh Bachchan is a leading actor in Hindi cinema and his mother Jaya Bhaduri Bachchan is a former leading actress.[5]
Abhishek Bachchan was born on 5th February, 1976. His grandfather, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, was a poet of Hindi literature and professor at the Allahabad University in Uttar Pradesh. The original surname of his family is Srivastava, Bachchan being the pen name used by his grandfather. However, when Amitabh entered films, he did so under his father's pen name. Bachchan is of Kayastha heritage on his father's side,[6] Bengali from his mother's side[7] and Punjabi from his grandmother's side.[8] Time magazine listed Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai on its list of most influential Indians.[9][10]
Bachchan was dyslexic as a child; this was referred to by Aamir Khan in the film Taare Zameen Par.[11] He attended Jamnabai Narsee School and Bombay Scottish School in Mumbai, Modern School, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi, and Aiglon College in Switzerland.[12] He then attended Boston University, but dropped out.[13][14]
Career[edit]
Film debut and initial struggle (2000-2003)[edit]
In 2000, Bachchan made his film debut playing the male lead in J. P. Dutta's war drama Refugee opposite Kareena Kapoor, who was also making her debut in the film. Although the film did not fare very well at the box office, both Bachchan and Kapoor received positive reviews for their performances. Film critic Taran Adarsh wrote that he "has all it takes to emerge a competent actor in years to come. Even in his debut-making film, Abhishek comes across as a fine actor and lives up to his family name."[15]
After Refugee, Bachchan starred in a series of poorly received films that failed to make a mark at the box office. However, his performance in Sooraj R. Barjatya's romantic dramedy Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003) earned him his first nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor, and he went on to win the award the following year for his performance in Mani Ratnam's political drama Yuva (2004).
Widespread success (2004-2008)[edit]
Bachchan better established himself in Hindi cinema playing a no-nonsense Mumbai police officer in the blockbuster action thriller Dhoom (2004), which also starred Uday Chopra, John Abraham, Esha Deol, and Rimi Sen in pivotal roles. His next two films were Phir Milenge (2004) and Naach (2004), neither of which performed very well at the box office.
Bachchan's first release of 2005 was the crime comedy Bunty Aur Babli, which featured him and Rani Mukerji as the titular con artist duo who perform several successful heists and fall in love along the way. The film emerged as the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2005, and earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. This film also marked his first professional collaboration with his father Amitabh Bachchan, who played a police officer closely following the lead pair.
Bachchan was next seen in Ram Gopal Varma's political drama Sarkar, which was a moderate success at the box office. His performance as the morally upright son of a troubled politician (played by his father) earned him rave reviews from critics as well as his second consecutive Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. His next two releases Dus (2005) and Bluffmaster! (2005) were both moderately successful, but did not earn much critical appreciation.
Bachchan won his third consecutive Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Karan Johar's critically acclaimed romantic drama Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006), which emerged as a moderate commercial success despite the fact that it dealt with the controversial subject of marital infidelity. Bachchan played the role of a man whose wife (Rani Mukerji) is unhappy with their marriage, and so begins an affair with a friend (Shahrukh Khan) who is also unhappy with his marriage to his wife (Preity Zinta).
Bachchan then starred opposite Aishwarya Rai in the period romance Umrao Jaan, a remake of the 1981 film of the same name starring Rekha and Farooq Sheikh in the lead roles. The film failed to earn the same level of appreciation as the original, and was also a commercial failure. He was next seen in Dhoom 2 (2006), which featured him and Uday Chopra reprising their roles from the original Dhoom (2004) joined by new cast members Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai, and Bipasha Basu. The film emerged as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2006, but some critics commented that Bachchan was "reduced to a mere supporting player"[16] to his co-star Roshan.
Bachchan earned much critical acclaim for his performance in Mani Ratnam's Guru (2007), loosely based on the life of business magnate Dhirubhai Ambani. Film critic Raja Sen wrote that “Abhishek Bachchan owns the movie... [He] forces himself under the skin of the character, and from gait to accent, proves constantly credible.”[17] The film starred him alongside Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (making the film their first collaboration after their marriage), R. Madhavan, Mithun Chakraborty, Vidya Balan, and Arya Babbar.
His next release was the dance comedy Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (2007) alongside Preity Zinta, Bobby Deol, and Lara Dutta. Although the film failed at the Indian box office, it was a moderate success overseas. He was then seen playing a minor role in the female-centric drama Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (2007) as the love interest of the film's lead actress Rani Mukerji.
Bachchan's first release of 2008 was Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar Raj, which featured him and his father reprising their roles from Sarkar (2005) while his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan entered the cast as a new addition. This film proved to be a major success at the box office, and earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. His next release was the fantasy adventure film Drona (2008), which was a major failure both critically and commercially.
Bachchan was next seen in Dostana (2008), a romantic comedy about two men (Bachchan and John Abraham) who pretend to be gay in order to be allowed to live with a girl (Priyanka Chopra), but then find that they have both fallen in love with her. John Abraham overshadowed Bachchan in this film with his power packed performance.The film was a major success at the box office, and earned him a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.
Bachchan's first release of 2009 was Delhi-6, which received a lukewarm response from critics. Later that year he was seen in the family dramedy Paa, which he also produced. The film's plot centered on a boy (Amitabh Bachchan) suffering from progeria as well as his relationships with his father (Bachchan) and his mother (Vidya Balan). For his work as a producer on the film, Bachchan earned the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi.
Brief setback and recent success (2010-present)[edit]
Bachchan experienced a brief setback in his career[18] with five films that failed critically and commercially. These films were the thriller Raavan (2010), the social drama Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey (2010), the action thriller Game (2011), the crime drama Dum Maaro Dum (2011), and the heist thriller Players (2012).
Bachchan then played supporting role alongside Ajay Devgan, Asin, and Prachi Desai in Rohit Shetty's comedy Bol Bachchan (2012), which was a major blockbuster at the box office despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. Film critic Anupama Chopra called Bachchan a "good part of the film" and also commented that he "manages to sparkle even in a script that is lazy and determinedly lowbrow".[19]
Bachchan then appeared in Dhoom 3 (2013). Like Dhoom 2 (2006), he and Uday Chopra were the only cast members reprising their roles. In this installment of the series, they were joined by Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif. While the film became a major blockbuster and currently ranks as the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all-time, most critics commented that Bachchan was a good supporting actor in Dhoom 3. Bachchan also starred in Farah Khan's Happy New Year, a musical heist film which featured an ensemble cast of Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah and Jackie Shroff. Shahrukh Khan's stellar performance was hailed by the audience. Bachchan had a double role in the film as Nandu Bhide, a street loafer and Vikki Grover, the son of a business tycoon. Critics praised his comic timings and acting and felt that he was a good supporting actor.
Upcoming projects[edit]
He is filming for the romantic drama All Is Well opposite Asin, which was initially set to release in December 2014 but has now been delayed as cabinet minister Smriti Irani, who plays a vital role in the film has not been able to allocate any dates since the Indian general elections 2014. He has also signed on to star with Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh as the three male leads of Housefull 3, the sequel to Housefull (2010) and Housefull 2 (2012). This installment is to be directed by Sajid-Farhad and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.[20]
Sports ventures[edit]
Abhishek Bachchan bought the Pro Kabaddi League franchise team Jaipur Pink Panthers[21][22] and co-bought the Indian Super League football team Chennaiyin FC.[23] in 2014. Jaipur Pink Panthers won the first ever championships held in 2014.[24]
Other work[edit]
In 2005, he was a part of Tamil director Mani Ratnam's stage show, Netru, Indru, Naalai, an event which sought to raise funds for The Banyan, a voluntary organisation which rehabilitates homeless women with mental illness in Chennai.[25]
In the summer of 2008, Bachchan, his wife, his father, and actors Preity Zinta, Riteish Deshmukh, and Madhuri Dixit starred in the "Unforgettable World Tour" stage production. The first leg covered the USA, Canada, Trinidad, and London. Bachchan is also involved in the functional and administrative operations of his father's company, originally known as ABCL, and renamed as AB Corp. Ltd. That company, along with Wizcraft International Entertainment Pvt. Ltd., developed the Unforgettable production.[26]
In 2011, Bachchan has promoted awareness of drug abuse in India as part of a citizen education campaign. The actor launched the Awareness Day race, which celebrated the silver jubilee of the country's Narcotics Control Bureau.[27][28]
Brand ambassador[edit]
Bachchan has been brand ambassador for products like LG Home appliances,[29] American Express credit cards,[30] Videocon DTH,[31] Motorola mobiles,[32] Ford Fiesta[33] and Idea mobiles.[34]
In 2009, Abhishek Bachchan was announced the winner of the 'Best Brand Ambassador of the Year' award at the NDTV Techlife Awards 2009.[35]
AdEx India,a division of TAM Media Research conducted a study on celebrity brand endorsements for the period of Jan–Dec 2010 in which Abhishek Bachchan eats the pie with a 4.7% share ad volume out of the 41.5% film actors on the endorsement circuit.[36][37]
Abhishek Bachchan became the brand ambassador for TTK Prestige, part of the TTK Group in October 2013 [38] along with his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
In 2014, he became the brand ambassador for the END7 campaign of the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases. The goal of the campaign is to eradicate seven different tropical diseases by 2020.[39]
Personal life[edit]
Bachchan with his wife Aishwarya Rai, 2013.
In October 2002, at his father Amitabh Bachchan's 60th birthday celebration, Abhishek and actress Karisma Kapoor announced their engagement.[40] The engagement was called off in January 2003. Bachchan fell in love with Aishwarya Rai, who is two years older than him, whilst filming for Dhoom 2,[41] though both of them had already appeared together in Dhai Akshar Prem Ke (in which her then longtime boyfriend, Salman Khan, made a brief cameo) and Kuch Naa Kaho. Bachchan and Rai announced their engagement on 14 January 2007 later confirmed by his father, Amitabh Bachchan.[42][43] The couple was married on 20 April 2007, according to traditional Hindu rituals of the Bunt community, to which Rai belongs. The wedding took place in a private ceremony at the Bachchan residence, Prateeksha, in Juhu, Mumbai,[44] but was heavily covered by the entertainment media. The couple appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in September 2009,[45] and were described as more famous than Brangelina.[46] They have been described as a supercouple in the Indian media.[47][48] Rai gave birth to a baby girl on 16 November 2011.[49][50] Her daughter became quite popular by the name of "Beti B" which was named by the fans and the media, since the couple took over four months to name their daughter. The baby girl was finally named as Aaradhya Bachchan in March 2012.[51]

He first gained popularity in the early 1970s as the "angry young man" of Hindi cinema, and has since become one of the most prominent figures in the history of Indian cinema.[1][2]
Bachchan has won numerous major awards in his career, including four National Film Awards, three of which are in the Best Actor category, and fourteen Filmfare Awards. He is the most-nominated performer in any major acting category at Filmfare, with 36 nominations overall. In addition to acting, Bachchan has worked as a playback singer, film producer and television presenter, and was an elected member of the Indian Parliament from 1984 to 1987.
Born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, Amitabh Bachchan hails from a Hindu Kayastha family.[3][4] His father, Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan was a well-known Hindi poet, while his mother, Teji Bachchan was a Sikh-Punjabi from Faisalabad (now in Pakistan).[5] Bachchan was initially named Inquilaab, inspired from the famous phrase Inquilab Zindabad, during the Indian independence struggle. However, at the suggestion of fellow poet Sumitranandan Pant, Harivansh Rai changed the name to Amitabh which means, "the light that would never go off." Though his surname was Shrivastava, his father had adopted the pen-name Bachchan (meaning child-like in colloquial Hindi), under which he published all his works. It is with this last name that Amitabh debuted in films, and, for all public purposes, it has become the surname of all members of his family. Bachchan's father died in 2003, and his mother in 2007.[6]
Amitabh is the eldest of Harivansh Rai Bachchan's two sons, the second being Ajitabh. His mother had a keen interest in theatre and had been offered a role in a film, but preferred her domestic duties. She had some degree of influence in Bachchan's choice of career because she always insisted that he should take the centre stage.[7] He attended Allahabad's Jnana Prabodhini and Boys' High School (BHS), followed by Nainital's Sherwood College, where he majored in the art stream. He later went on to study at Kirori Mal College of the University of Delhi and completed a Bachelor of Science degree. In his twenties, Bachchan gave up a job as freight broker for the shipping firm, Bird and Co., based in Calcutta now known as Kolkata, to pursue a career in acting.
Career
Early work: 1969–1972
Bachchan made his film debut in 1969 as a voice narrator in Mrinal Sen's National Award winning film Bhuvan Shome. Thereafter he got his first acting role as one of the seven protagonists in Saat Hindustani, a film directed by Khwaja Ahmad Abbas and featuring Utpal Dutt, Madhu and Jalal Agha. Though the film was not a financial success, Bachchan won his first National Film Award for Best Newcomer.[8]
Anand (1971) followed, where he starred alongside Rajesh Khanna. Bachchan's role as a doctor with a cynical view of life garned him his first Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award. Amitabh then played his first negative role as an infatuated lover-turned-murderer in Parwaana (1971). This was followed by several films including Reshma Aur Shera (1971). During this time, he made a guest appearance in the film Guddi which starred his future wife Jaya Bhaduri. He narrated part of the film Bawarchi. In 1972, he made an appearance in the road action comedy Bombay to Goa, directed by S. Ramanathan.
Rise to stardom: 1973–1983
Director Prakash Mehra cast him in the leading role for the film Zanjeer (1973) as Inspector Vijay Khanna. The film was a sharp contrast to the romantically themed films that had generally preceded it and established Amitabh in a new persona—the "angry young man" of Bollywood cinema,.[2] He earned a Filmfare Nomination for Best Actor. 1973 was also the year he married Jaya and around this time they appeared in several films together, not only in Zanjeer but in films such as Abhimaan which followed and was released only a month after their marriage. Later, Bachchan played the role of Vikram in the film Namak Haraam, a social drama directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and scripted by Biresh Chatterjee addressing themes of friendship. His supporting role won him his second Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award.
In 1974, Bachchan made several guest appearances in films such as Kunwara Baap and Dost, before playing a supporting role in Roti Kapda Aur Makaan. The film, directed and written by Manoj Kumar, addressed themes of honesty in the face of oppression and financial and emotional hardship. Bachchan then played the leading role in film Majboor, released on 6 December 1974, which was a remake of the Hollywood film Zigzag. The film was only a moderate success at the box office.[9] In 1975, he starred in a variety of film genres from the comedy Chupke Chupke, the crime drama Faraar to the romantic drama Mili. 1975 was the year when he appeared in two films which are regarded as important in Hindi cinematic history. He starred in the Yash Chopra directed film Deewar, opposite Shashi Kapoor, Nirupa Roy, and Neetu Singh, which earned him a Filmfare Nomination for Best Actor. The film became a major hit at the box office in 1975, ranking in at number 4.[10] Indiatimes Movies ranks Deewaar amongst the Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films.[11] Released on 15 August 1975 was Sholay (meaning flames), which became the highest grossing film of all time in India, earning INR 2,36,45,00,000 equivalent to US$ 60 million, after adjusting for inflation.[12] Bachchan played the role of Jaidev. In 1999, BBC India declared it the "Film of the Millennium" and like Deewar, has been cited by Indiatimes movies as amongst the Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films.[11] In that same year, the judges of the 50th annual Filmfare awards awarded it with the special distinction award called Filmfare Best Film of 50 Years.
Bachchan starred in comedies such as Chupke Chupke (1975) and Amar Akbar Anthony (1977) and in films such as Kabhie Kabhie (1976). In 1976, he was once again cast by director Yash Chopra in his second film, Kabhi Kabhie, a romantic tale in which Bachchan starred as a young poet named Amit Malhotra who falls deeply in love with a beautiful young girl named Pooja played by actress Rakhee Gulzar. The film saw him again nominated for the Filmfare Best Actor Award. In 1977, he won his first Filmfare Best Actor Award for his performance in Amar Akbar Anthony where he played the third lead opposite Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor as Anthony Gonsalves. In 1978 he starred in all four of the highest grossing films of India in that year.[13] He once again resumed double roles in films such as Kasme Vaade as Amit and Shankar and Don playing the characters of Don, a leader of an underworld gang and his look alike Vijay. His performance won him his second Filmfare Best Actor Award. He also performed in Trishul and Muqaddar Ka Sikander which both earned him further Filmfare Best Actor nominations. He was billed a "one-man industry" by the French director François Truffaut.[14]
In 1979, for the first time, Amitabh was required to use his singing voice for the film Mr. Natwarlal in which he starred alongside Rekha. His performance in the film saw him nominated for both the Filmfare Best Actor Award and the Filmfare Best Male Playback Awards. In 1979, he also received Best Actor nomination for Kaala Patthar (1979) and then went on to be nominated again in 1980 for the Raj Khosla directed film Dostana, in which he starred opposite Shatrughan Sinha and Zeenat Aman. Dostana proved to be the top grossing film of 1980.[15] In 1981, he starred in Yash Chopra's melodrama film Silsila, where he starred alongside his wife Jaya and rumoured lover Rekha. Other films of this period include Ram Balram (1980), Shaan (1980), Lawaaris (1981), and Shakti (1982) which pitted him against legendary actor Dilip Kumar.[16]
1982 injury while filming Coolie
On 26 July 1982, while filming Coolie in the University Campus in Bangalore, Bachchan suffered a near fatal intestinal injury during the filming of a fight scene with co-actor Puneet Issar.[17] Bachchan was performing his own stunts in the film and one scene required him to fall onto a table and then on the ground. However as he jumped towards the table, the corner of the table struck his abdomen, resulting in a splenic rupture from which he lost a significant amount of blood. He required an emergency splenectomy and remained critically ill in hospital for many months, at times close to death. The public response included prayers in temples and offers to sacrifice limbs to save him, while later, there were long queues of well-wishing fans outside the hospital where he was recuperating.[18] Nevertheless, he spent many months recovering and resumed filming later that year after a long period of recuperation. The film was released in 1983, and partly due to the huge publicity of Bachchan's accident, the film was a box office success.[19]
The director, Manmohan Desai, altered the ending of Coolie after Bachchan's accident. Bachchan's character was originally intended to have been killed off but after the change of script, the character lived in the end. It would have been inappropriate, said Desai, for the man who had just fended off death in real life to be killed on screen. Also, in the released film the footage of the fight scene is frozen at the critical moment, and a caption appears onscreen marking this as the instant of the actor's injury and the ensuing publicity of the accident.[18]
Later, he was diagnosed with Myasthenia gravis. His illness made him feel weak both mentally and physically and he decided to quit films and venture into politics. At this time he became pessimistic, expressing concern with how a new film would be received. Before every release he would negatively state, "Yeh film to flop hogi!" ("This film will flop").[20]
Politics: 1984–87
In 1984, Bachchan took a break from acting and briefly entered politics in support of long-time family friend, Rajiv Gandhi. He contested Allahabad's seat of 8th Lok Sabha against H. N. Bahuguna, former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and won by one of the highest victory margins in general election history (68.2% of the vote).[21] His political career, however, was short-lived: he resigned after three years, calling politics a cesspool. The resignation followed the implication of Bachchan and his brother in the "Bofors scandal" by a newspaper, which he vowed to take to court. Bachchan was eventually found not guilty of involvement in the ordeal.[22]
His old friend, Amar Singh, helped him during a financial crisis due to the failure of his company ABCL. Therefore Bachchan started to support Amar Singh's political party, the Samajwadi party. Jaya Bachchan joined the Samajwadi Party and became a Rajya Sabha member.[23] Bachchan has continued to do favors for the Samajwadi party, including advertisements and political campaigns. These activities have recently gotten him into trouble again in the Indian courts for false claims after a previous incident of submission of legal papers by him, stating that he is a farmer.[24]
A 15 year press ban against Bachchan was imposed during his peak acting years by Stardust and some of the other film magazines. In his own defense, Bachchan claimed to have banned the press from entering his sets until late 1989.[25]
Slump and retirement: 1988–1992
In 1988, Bachchan returned to films, playing the title role in Shahenshah, which was a box office success due to the hype of Bachchan's comeback.[26] After the success of his comeback film however, his star power began to wane as all of his subsequent films failed at the box office. The 1991 hit film, Hum, for which he won his third Filmfare Best Actor Award, looked like it might reverse this trend, but the momentum was short-lived as his string of box office failures continued. Notably, despite the lack of hits, it was during this period that Bachchan won his first National Film Award for Best Actor, for his performance as a Mafia don in the 1990 film Agneepath. These years would be the last he would be seen on screen for some time. After the release of Khuda Gawah in 1992, Bachchan went into semi-retirement for five years. In 1994, one of his delayed films Insaniyat was released but was also a box office failure.[27]
Producer and acting comeback 1996–99
Bachchan turned producer during his temporary retirement period, setting up Amitabh Bachchan Corporation, Ltd. (A.B.C.L.) in 1996, with the vision of becoming a 10 billion rupees (approx 250 million $US) premier entertainment company by the year 2000. ABCL's strategy was to introduce products and services covering the entire section of the India's entertainment industry. Its operations were mainstream commercial film production and distribution, audio cassettes and video discs, production and marketing of television software, celebrity and event management. Soon after the company was launched in 1996, the first film was produced by the company. Tere Mere Sapne failed to do well at the box office but launched the careers of actors such as Arshad Warsi and South films star Simran. ABCL produced a few other films, none of which did well.
In 1997, Bachchan attempted to make his acting comeback with the film Mrityudaata, produced by ABCL. Though Mrityudaata attempted to reprise Bachchan's earlier success as an action hero, the film was a failure both financially and critically. ABCL was the main sponsor of the 1996 Miss World beauty pageant, Bangalore but lost millions. The fiasco and the consequent legal battles surrounding ABCL and various entities after the event, coupled with the fact that ABCL was reported to have overpaid most of its top level managers, eventually led to its financial and operational collapse in 1997. The company went into administration and was later declared a failed company by Indian Industries board. The Bombay high court, in April 1999, restrained Bachchan from selling off his Bombay bungalow 'Prateeksha' and two flats till the pending loan recovery cases of Canara Bank were disposed of. Bachchan had, however, pleaded that he had mortgaged his bungalow to Sahara India Finance for raising funds for his company.[28]
Bachchan attempted to revive his acting career and had average success with Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998),[27] and received positive reviews for Sooryavansham (1999)[29] but other films such as Lal Baadshah (1999) and Hindustan Ki Kasam (1999) were box office failures.
Television career
In the year 2000, Bachchan stepped up to host India's adaptation of the British television game show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? entitled, Kaun Banega Crorepati. As it did in most other countries where it was adopted, the program found immediate success. Canara Bank withdrew its law suit against Bachchan in November 2000. Bachchan hosted KBC till November 2005, and its success set the stage for his return to film popularity. In 2009 Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire in the first question of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? contest "Amitabh Bachchan" was the correct answer to the question "Who was the star of Zanjeer? Feroz Abbas Khan performed as Amitabh Bachchan in a scene in the movie while Anil Kapoor performed as the host of the contest. Bachchan hosted the third season of the reality show Bigg Boss in 2009.[30]
Return to prominence: 2000–present
In 2000, Amitabh Bachchan appeared in Yash Chopra's box-office hit, Mohabbatein, directed by Aditya Chopra. He played a stern, older figure that rivalled the character of Shahrukh Khan. His role won him his third Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award. Other hits followed, with Bachchan appearing as an older family patriarch in Ek Rishtaa: The Bond of Love (2001), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) and Baghban (2003). As an actor, he continued to perform in a range of characters, receiving critical praise for his performances in Aks (2001), Aankhen (2002), Khakee (2004) and Dev (2004). One project that did particularly well for Bachchan was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black (2005). The film starred Bachchan as an aging teacher of a deaf-blind girl and followed their relationship. His performance was unanimously praised by critics and audiences and won him his second National Film Award for Best Actor and fourth Filmfare Best Actor Award. Taking advantage of this resurgence, Amitabh began endorsing a variety of products and services, appearing in many television and billboard advertisements. In 2005 and 2006, he starred with his son Abhishek in the hit films Bunty Aur Babli (2005), the Godfather tribute Sarkar (2005), and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2006). All of them were successful at the box office.[31][32] His later releases in 2006 and early 2007 were Baabul (2006),[33] Eklavya and Nishabd (2007), which failed to do well at the box office but his performances in each of them were praised by critics.[34]
In May 2007, two of his films Cheeni Kum and the multi-starrer Shootout at Lokhandwala were released. Shootout at Lokhandwala did very well at the box office and was declared a hit in India, while Cheeni Kum picked up after a slow start and was declared an overall average hit.[35] A remake of his biggest hit, Sholay (1975), entitled Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, released in August of that same year and proved to be a major commercial failure in addition to its poor critical reception.[35] The year also marked Bachchan's first appearance in an English-language film, Rituparno Ghosh's The Last Lear. The film premiered at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival on 9 September 2007. He received positive reviews from critics who hailed his performance as his best ever since Black.[36] Bachchan was slated to play a supporting role in his first international film, Shantaram, directed by Mira Nair and starring Hollywood actor Johnny Depp in the lead. The film was due to begin filming in February 2008 but due to the writer's strike, was pushed to September 2008.[37] The film is currently "shelved" indefinitely.[38] Vivek Sharma's Bhoothnath, in which he plays the title role as a ghost, was released on 9 May 2008. Sarkar Raj, the sequel of the 2005 film Sarkar, released in June 2008 and received a positive response at the box-office. His latest movie was Paa, which released at the end of 2009. Paa was a highly anticipated project as it saw him playing his own son Abhishek's Progeria-affected 13-year-old son, and it opened to favourable reviews, particularly towards Bachchan's performance. It won him his third National Film Award for Best Actor and fifth Filmfare Best Actor Award. In 2010, he debuted in Malayalam film through Kandahar, directed by Major Ravi and co-starring Mohanlal.[39] The film was based on the hijacking incident of the Indian Airlines Flight 814.[40] Bachchan did not receive any remuneration for this film.[41]
Health
2005 hospitalisation
In November 2005, Amitabh Bachchan was admitted to Lilavati Hospital's ICU once more, to undergo surgery for diverticulitis of the small intestine.[42] This occurred after Bachchan complained of pains in his abdomen some days prior. During the period and that following his recovery, most of his projects were put on hold, including the television show he was in the process of hosting, Kaun Banega Crorepati. Amitabh returned to work in March 2006.[43]
Voice
Bachchan is known for his deep, baritone voice. He has been a narrator, a playback singer and presenter for numerous programmes. Renowned film director Satyajit Ray was so impressed with Bachchan's voice, that he decided to use his voice as commentary in Shatranj Ke Khiladi since he could not find a suitable role for him.[44] In 2005, Bachchan has lent his voice to the Oscar-winning French documentary March of the Penguins, directed by Luc Jacquet.[45]
Controversies and criticism
Barabanki land case
In the runup to the Uttar Pradesh state assembly elections, 2007, Bachchan made a film extolling the virtues of the Mulayam Singh government. His Samajwadi Party was routed, and Mayawati came to power.
On 2 June 2007 a Faizabad court ruled that he had legally acquired agricultural land designated specifically for landless Dalit farmers.[46] It was speculated that he might be investigated on related charges of forgery, as he has allegedly claimed he was a farmer.[47] On 19 July 2007, after the scandal broke out, Bachchan surrendered the land acquired in Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh and Pune. He wrote to the chief minister of Maharashtra, Vilasrao Deshmukh, to donate the lands that were allegedly acquired illegally in Pune.[48] However, the Lucknow Court has put a stay on the land donation and said that the status quo on the land be maintained.
On 12 October 2007, Bachchan abandoned his claim in respect of the land at Daulatpur village in Barabanki district.[49] On 11 December 2007, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court gave a clean chit to Bachchan in a case pertaining to alleged fraudulent allotment of government land to him in Barabanki district. A single Lucknow bench of Justice said there was no finding that the actor "himself committed any fraud or manipulated any surreptitious entry in the revenue records".[50][51]
After receiving a positive verdict in Barabanki case, Amitabh Bachchan intimated to Maharashtra government that he did not wish to surrender his land in Maval tehsil of Pune district.[52]
Apart from National Film Awards, Filmfare Awards and other competitive awards which Bachchan won for his performances throughout the years, he has been awarded several honours for his achievements in the Indian film industry. In 1991, he became the first artist to receive the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award, which was established in the name of Raj Kapoor. Bachchan was crowned as Superstar of the Millennium in 2000 at the Filmfare Awards. The Government of India awarded him with the Padma Shri in 1984 and the Padma Bhushan in 2001. France's highest civilian honour, the Knight of the Legion of Honour, was conferred upon him by the French Government in 2007, for his "exceptional career in the world of cinema and beyond".[62]
In 1999, Bachchan was voted the Greatest Star of stage or screen of the Millennium by BBC online poll where he defeated many Hollywood legends.[63] In 2001, he was honoured with the Actor of the Century award at the Alexandria International Film Festival in Egypt in recognition of his contribution to the world of cinema.[64] Many other honours for his achievements were conferred upon him at several International Film Festivals, including the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 Asian Film Awards.[65]
In June 2000, he became the first living Asian to have been immortalised in wax at London's prestigious Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.[66] Another statue was installed at New York [67] and Hong Kong in 2009.[68]
In 2003, he was conferred with the Honorary Citizenship of the French town of Deauville.[69] He was honoured with an Honorary Doctorate by the Jhansi University in 2004,[70] the Delhi University in 2006,[71] the De Montfort University in Leicester, UK in 2006,[72] the University Brandan Foster by the Leeds Metropolitan University in Yorkshire in 2007.[73] Another an Honorary Doctorate was conferred by the Queensland University of Technology in Australia in 2009. But he turns down the honour as mark of protest to racial attacks on Indian students.[74]
Severals books have been written about Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan: the Legend was published in 1999,[75] To be or not to be: Amitabh Bachchan in 2004,[76] AB: The Legend: (A Photographer's Tribute) in 2006 [77]/, Amitabh Bachchan: Ek Jeevit Kimvadanti in 2006,[78] Amitabh: The Making of a Superstar in 2006,[79] Looking for the Big B: Bollywood, Bachchan and Me in 2007 [80] and Bachchanalia in 2009.[81] Bachchan himself has also written a book in 2002: Soul Curry for you and me – An Empowering Philosophy That Can Enrich Your Life.[82

Le terme général de "terre pure" désigne la sphère pure entourant tous les bouddhas, qui, en vertu de leur compassion et de leur sagesse immenses, créent naturellement un champ ou un espace exempt de souillures. Avant de devenir bouddha, le bodhisattva Amida fit voeu de créer une terre pure de bouddhas où les êtres qui le souhaitaient pourraient renaître afin d'y progresser aisément jusqu'à l'Eveil.

KASHMIR IN CRISIS, CIVILIANS HOSTAGE TO SECURITY FORCES
A Dharna to register protest against killings of Innocent Civilians in
Kashmir at Jantar Mantar was organised by ANHAD. The dharna was two
hour long where representatives from various civil society groups
gathered to demonstrate their solidarity with the people of Kashmir.
Following people expressed their views in protest: Shabnam Hashmi
(ANHAD), Harsh Kapoor (South Asia Citizens Web), Navaid Hamid
(Member,NIC), Prof. Kamal Mitra Chenoy (JNU), Prof. Anuradha Chenoy
(JNU), Tanveer Hussain Khan (ANHAD), Indu Prakash (IGSSS), Madhu
Chandra (North Eastern Helpline), Divya (YWCA), Sanjay Kumar (AAA),
Amitabh Pandey (Free Lancer), Ravi Himadri (The other Media), Prof.
Rizwan Kaisar (Jamia Millia Islamia), Swami Agnivesh, Mansi Sharma
(ANHAD), Seema Duhan (ANHAD). The following statement was released to
the Media.
It is a matter of grave concern and anguish that no sensitive measures
have been taken by the Central Government in response to the ongoing
deaths, injuries and killings in cold-blood of civilians in Srinagar
and Anantnag districts of Jammu and Kashmir, including young girls and
boys, most of them innocent, peaceful protestors, or even just
bystanders. And consequently both North and South regions of the
valley are on flame. To make matters worse, the Army, along with
para-military forces, have been issued orders to shoot at sight to
uphold the almost relentless curfew -- basically to block protests
against the continuing spiral of non-stop and indiscriminate killings
of innocent civilians. The presence of army and security forces
dominates the Valley and reinforces the deep-rooted angst of people.
The reality is that democracy is under severe strain and is almost
absent in many parts in this state, despite an elected government
backed by the Centre holding the reigns of power at Srinagar.
ANHAD and many other concerned civil society groups in India want the
governments in the state and Centre to come out clean -- urgently and
immediately -- and explain if this is indeed a democratic and
constitutional method of handling a manifold and multiplying crisis in
a highly sensitive region. Obviously, the establishment thinks that
branding it as mere law and order problem and repression and killings
would 'calm down' the situation as sensitive and grim as that of Jammu
and Kashmir. This will be like choking tens of thousands of people
into the silence of absolute suffering and blind rage. Will this
violence ever stop, and will we ever find the root causes for a
political solution based on consensus, understanding, mutual harmony
and human rights?
Tuesday began with protests against one death which led to the second
death and then suddenly, Srinagar was back under curfew. The cycle of
violence has spun out of control all over again. Last week witnessed a
similar series of killings taking its toll in Anantnag district where
people were killed in clashes with security forces since they were not
allowed to protest against the killings of civilians. This has become
a tragic and vicious circle of hopelessness.
Instead of issuing any statement of sympathy or concern or wisdom, our
highest offices of governance in the country, are only pushing for an
escalation in the number of deployment of security forces. This
clearly indicates the callous attitude of the governments in Delhi and
Srinagar. Such acts of brutality are in complete violation of the law
of the land and constitutional rights of the people that have resulted
in mass outrage and alienation of large sections of the civilian
population in Kashmir.
These are unarmed, non-violent citizens, who are being treated with
such blatant and indiscriminate use of military force -- why? Is there
no other way to negotiate with civil unrest? And what is the root
cause of this civil unrest if not the brutalities executed by the
police and para military forces? And what about cases of atrocities
committed on people who are not even protesting?
There is no excuse for such cruelty. Despite repeated assurances by
the central and state governments of zero tolerance towards human
rights violations, the fact remains that little has been done to
punish those responsible for such heinous and gross violations. This
organised insensitivity and vacillation to act firmly against such
elements is bound to put a question mark on the credibility of the
State and its track record in terms of human and democratic rights of
the people, as enshrined in the Indian Constitution. Mere rhetoric and
institution of official enquiries is not enough to restore the
shattered and shaken confidence of the people. It is imperative that
the central and state authorities take firm and visible action against
those responsible for unleashing this brutish violence on innocent
people. Any delay will only compound the alienation and anger of the
people -- resulting in irrefutable damage to the peace process in the
Valley and elsewhere in the state.
ANHAD expresses serious concern over the absolute antipathy and lack
of political initiative displayed by the UPA-led central government in
response to the situation in the valley. They should learn some
lessons from history. People cannot be won over or suppressed at gun
point. Certainly, the people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve a more
rational, humane, visionary and sensitive response from the Indian
State.
We demand from the Central and the State governments to:
Take immediate action to prevent further loss of life and property
Put an end to the violence perpetrated by the security forces with
immediate effect.
Immediately appoint an independent and impartial time bound Commission
of Enquiry to look into the killings of peaceful civilians & human
rights violations
Initiate an inquiry into instances of attacks on ambulance services
Ensure security of the journalists both of local and national media
Ensure freedom of expression and press
Immediately start a political dialogue with various stake holders

KASHMIR IN CRISIS, CIVILIANS HOSTAGE TO SECURITY FORCES
A Dharna to register protest against killings of Innocent Civilians in
Kashmir at Jantar Mantar was organised by ANHAD. The dharna was two
hour long where representatives from various civil society groups
gathered to demonstrate their solidarity with the people of Kashmir.
Following people expressed their views in protest: Shabnam Hashmi
(ANHAD), Harsh Kapoor (South Asia Citizens Web), Navaid Hamid
(Member,NIC), Prof. Kamal Mitra Chenoy (JNU), Prof. Anuradha Chenoy
(JNU), Tanveer Hussain Khan (ANHAD), Indu Prakash (IGSSS), Madhu
Chandra (North Eastern Helpline), Divya (YWCA), Sanjay Kumar (AAA),
Amitabh Pandey (Free Lancer), Ravi Himadri (The other Media), Prof.
Rizwan Kaisar (Jamia Millia Islamia), Swami Agnivesh, Mansi Sharma
(ANHAD), Seema Duhan (ANHAD). The following statement was released to
the Media.
It is a matter of grave concern and anguish that no sensitive measures
have been taken by the Central Government in response to the ongoing
deaths, injuries and killings in cold-blood of civilians in Srinagar
and Anantnag districts of Jammu and Kashmir, including young girls and
boys, most of them innocent, peaceful protestors, or even just
bystanders. And consequently both North and South regions of the
valley are on flame. To make matters worse, the Army, along with
para-military forces, have been issued orders to shoot at sight to
uphold the almost relentless curfew -- basically to block protests
against the continuing spiral of non-stop and indiscriminate killings
of innocent civilians. The presence of army and security forces
dominates the Valley and reinforces the deep-rooted angst of people.
The reality is that democracy is under severe strain and is almost
absent in many parts in this state, despite an elected government
backed by the Centre holding the reigns of power at Srinagar.
ANHAD and many other concerned civil society groups in India want the
governments in the state and Centre to come out clean -- urgently and
immediately -- and explain if this is indeed a democratic and
constitutional method of handling a manifold and multiplying crisis in
a highly sensitive region. Obviously, the establishment thinks that
branding it as mere law and order problem and repression and killings
would 'calm down' the situation as sensitive and grim as that of Jammu
and Kashmir. This will be like choking tens of thousands of people
into the silence of absolute suffering and blind rage. Will this
violence ever stop, and will we ever find the root causes for a
political solution based on consensus, understanding, mutual harmony
and human rights?
Tuesday began with protests against one death which led to the second
death and then suddenly, Srinagar was back under curfew. The cycle of
violence has spun out of control all over again. Last week witnessed a
similar series of killings taking its toll in Anantnag district where
people were killed in clashes with security forces since they were not
allowed to protest against the killings of civilians. This has become
a tragic and vicious circle of hopelessness.
Instead of issuing any statement of sympathy or concern or wisdom, our
highest offices of governance in the country, are only pushing for an
escalation in the number of deployment of security forces. This
clearly indicates the callous attitude of the governments in Delhi and
Srinagar. Such acts of brutality are in complete violation of the law
of the land and constitutional rights of the people that have resulted
in mass outrage and alienation of large sections of the civilian
population in Kashmir.
These are unarmed, non-violent citizens, who are being treated with
such blatant and indiscriminate use of military force -- why? Is there
no other way to negotiate with civil unrest? And what is the root
cause of this civil unrest if not the brutalities executed by the
police and para military forces? And what about cases of atrocities
committed on people who are not even protesting?
There is no excuse for such cruelty. Despite repeated assurances by
the central and state governments of zero tolerance towards human
rights violations, the fact remains that little has been done to
punish those responsible for such heinous and gross violations. This
organised insensitivity and vacillation to act firmly against such
elements is bound to put a question mark on the credibility of the
State and its track record in terms of human and democratic rights of
the people, as enshrined in the Indian Constitution. Mere rhetoric and
institution of official enquiries is not enough to restore the
shattered and shaken confidence of the people. It is imperative that
the central and state authorities take firm and visible action against
those responsible for unleashing this brutish violence on innocent
people. Any delay will only compound the alienation and anger of the
people -- resulting in irrefutable damage to the peace process in the
Valley and elsewhere in the state.
ANHAD expresses serious concern over the absolute antipathy and lack
of political initiative displayed by the UPA-led central government in
response to the situation in the valley. They should learn some
lessons from history. People cannot be won over or suppressed at gun
point. Certainly, the people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve a more
rational, humane, visionary and sensitive response from the Indian
State.
We demand from the Central and the State governments to:
Take immediate action to prevent further loss of life and property
Put an end to the violence perpetrated by the security forces with
immediate effect.

of Enquiry to look into the killings of peaceful civilians & human
rights violations
