Amitabh Bachchan, who is currently hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati on Sony TV, recently opened up about the biggest disadvantage of being tall. One of Big B’s most defining features is his height as many associate it with his ‘angry young man’ image. When a young contestant on the show complained about her short height, Amitabh shared an anecdote from his school days.
He said that he would get beaten up because he would compete with his seniors. “Boxing was mandatory in our school and because of my height, I was added to the senior’s list. Bahut maar khata tha main school mein (I used to get beaten up a lot) just because I was tall,” he said.
Amitabh Bachchan recently made an appearance at the opening ceremony of the Kolkata International Film Festival and spoke about censorship in the history of Indian cinema and said, “Even now, I’m sure my colleagues on stage would agree, questions are being raised on civil liberties and freedom of expression.” He added, as reported by PTI, “Since early times there have been many changes in cinema content. From mythological films and socialist cinema to the advent of the angry young man and the current brand of historicals, couched in fictionalised jingoism, along with moral policing, the range has kept audiences reflecting on the politics and social concerns of the times.”
In 2022, Amitabh Bachchan was seen in Uunchai, Goodbye, Brahmastra, Runway 34 and Jhund. He is now looking forward to the release of Project K, in which he stars alongside Deepika Padukone and Prabhas.
