5 Things about Amitabh Bachhan that made him “BIG B” besides his acting…!

Today is the big day of Indian Cinema as today is the Birthday of “Sadi ke Mahanayak” Amitabh Bachhan. We have known him for ages. We have grown up seeing his films. From Deewar’s angry young man to K3G’s strict father, from Satte pe Satta’s doting brother and villain to Piku’s darling dad, we have seen it all. But there are a few things that we rarely talk about him besides his acting. And today is the day, to celebrate everything about BIG B. So let’s see those 5 things that made him what he is today.

We adore these 5 things about Amitabh Bachhan, besides his acting…!

1. His command over languages especially Hindi: Have you seen him reciting “Madhushala” his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan's famous poem? Have you seen him reciting “Jo beet gayi so baat gayi”? If you haven’t please go to Youtube and watch him reciting Hindi poems, or him talking in Hindi. It is music to your ears and a treat to your eyes, watching and listening to him in Hindi as he speaks Hindi fluently and beautifully. I can listen to his Hindi for hours.

 

 

 

 

2. His humbleness and down-to-earth nature: The way he presents himself and conducts himself says a lot about his nature. He always looks so down to earth and humble. That’s why people loved him on KBC. When SRK took over, it did not work because his humbleness, Hindi, and his down-to-earth nature, which used to make people comfortable, were missing. And that’s when people got to see Real Amitabh Bachhan. People who met him personally know that this is a fact.

 

 

 

3. Hard Work: He is 80 years old, and still working successfully. He has achieved so much in life, but still, he never took his success and fame for granted. He has so many health issues, and still, he manages to work with taking care of his health. He still does the shifts and learns and practices his lines. His hard work shows in his every piece of work. His recent movie “Good Bye” is one of such movie, where his hard work is clearly visible. He is an example of “If you do the hard work, you will surely achieve success.” And we must learn this from him.

 

 

 

4. His attitude towards life: We have seen some major events in his life like getting bankrupt and dealing with severe injury. When he spoke about the failure of ABC company and the worst phase of his life when he was dealing with his injury that happened during the movie “Coolie” the way he and his family handled the situation is commendable. When “Sadi ke Mahanayak” Amitabh Bachhan has his lows and worst phase of life, we are normal, common people it can easily happen to us. If he can face financial lows, so can we. He is a motivation for all of us.

 

 

 

5. Love what you do, Do what you love: Hard work is one thing, and loving what you do is another. It is amazing how he loves what he does and that’s why he is still relevant in this industry even at the age of 80. He teaches us that “love what you do, and do what you love.” A lifetime teaching that we can give the next generations as well.

 

 

 

 

Amitabh Bachhan is an amazing actor. He is Angry Young Man, Big B, Sadi ke Mahanayak of the industry. But only acting was not the reason that made him what he is today. It takes a lot to be one. It takes an entire personality and a mixture of nature, hard work, intelligence, and talent to become Amitabh Bachhan. They say, “Har koi bachhan nahi ban sakta” and we realize how true this is.

Happy Birthday, Big B. We adore you and respect you and we will continue doing it always.
