Amitabh Bachchan is undeniably one of the biggest stars in the Indian film industry today, known for his incredible performances and massive box office successes. With a luxurious mansion named 'Jalsa' in Mumbai's Juhu area, his life is an inspiration to many who dream of achieving immense success, both professionally and financially. However, his journey to stardom wasn't easy. In a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 16, the megastar opened up about the struggles he faced before he became the superstar he is today.
Amitabh Bachchan, who has given Bollywood some of its most iconic films, revealed that before venturing into the film industry, he was working in Kolkata. During his time there, he shared a small apartment with eight other people. Big B recalled how difficult those days were because the apartment had only two beds, causing roommates to argue over who would sleep on the bed and who on the floor.
In this piece of entertainment news, the Pink actor stated that, despite the challenges, those days were filled with fun and camaraderie. The actor also sometimes slept in bed or on the floor. The Kalki 2898 AD star also revealed that his first job in Kolkata paid him Rs 400 per month. Although the salary was modest, it was a significant step for him as he tried to find his footing in life after completing his studies. Amitabh shared this part of his life when a contestant on Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 revealed that he lives with eight people in Pune. The contestant is a student who has to live in such a situation.
Life changed for Amitabh Bachchan when he moved to Mumbai with dreams of becoming an actor. Big B's journey was filled with struggles, but he never gave up. He made his acting debut in 1969 with the film Saat Hindustani. In just a few years, he captured the hearts of audiences with his roles in films such as Anand and Bombay to Goa. Since then, he has acted in several action movies, which started with Zanjeer, and he got the title of 'Angry Young Man' from the audiences.
It has been over five decades since Big B started his acting journey, and despite being in his 80s, he is unstoppable.
