The magic continues

Ever since Amitabh Bachchan donned the mantle of an angry young man four decades ago,he took the silver screen by storm. Today the legendary actor sports a snow-white moustache and beard Amitabh Bachchan celebrates birthday with KBC 4 launch,Screen,Oct 15 but his charisma remains intact. With his debut film Saat Hindustani completing over 40 years,Bachchan must have looked back on his days of struggle and the time when he was a corporate executive in Kolkata. The wild parties,the drive to the airport thereafter,making the rounds of the clients offices during the day,cheering his favourite football team in the Maidan and wading home through waterlogged streets must have been part of his mindset which helped him become Mr. Industry as a overseas journal described him. What is the secret behind his remaining numero uno for so long? Only Bachchan himself can answer it. Hope he keeps good health and continues to delight us in the years to come.
