After a long series of duds like ‘ Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswathi’, ‘Jaadugar’, ‘Toofan’, ‘Main Azaad Hoon’, the can they wipe away the pain of 25 years.will they be able to diminish the tainted colour of defamation.!!? ’’ read one of his posts.Īlthough his career had a mini-boost in the form of blockbusters ‘Shahenshah’ (1988), ‘Agneepath’ (1990), ‘Hum’ (1991), and ‘Khuda Gawah’ (1992), many of his movies also got panned by the critics and proved to be no-starters at the BO. When it is disclosed, they ask me for my reaction ! What reaction may I give. “When my family and I were loaded with accusations of the Bofors Scandal, they painted every aspect of our existence with the darkest colours ever…25 years later, the prosecutor on the event, made public the truth – the name of the Bachchans were ‘planted!!’For 25 years you live under the burden of deceit and lies. Nearly 25 years later, when his name got cleared, the ‘Black’ actor expressed his thoughts on his personal blog ‘Bachchan Bol’. Faced by a massive backlash, the actor decided to quit politics. Although the ‘Namak Halaal’ star had a strong start, defeating Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna who was a formidable figure in UP politics by a whopping margin of 187,895 votes, he soon lost all public goodwill when his name got involved in the Bofors scam (a weapons -contract political scandal between India and Sweden) along with Gandhi. In 1984, Rajiv Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India asked him to contest the Lok Sabha polls from his hometown Allahabad.

With a career that spans over six decades, the ‘ Angry Young Man’ has kept himself relevant in each decade and embraced the cultural ethos of each generation.

However, Bachchan who turned 80 on Tuesday, seems to have had the last laugh. One can't help but recall the words of celebrated poet Emily Dickinson “fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate”, in this case. A recent example would be that 2012 tragicomic fan commercial, featuring a yesteryear superstar pointing to the revolving fan above his head and making a wistful self-deprecating joke that nobody could take his ‘fans’ away from him. There have been many leading men who once surrounded by hordes of adoring fans, found themselves as ‘has-beens’, unceremoniously uprooted to make way for the ‘next big thing’. However, no star till date, has enjoyed the longevity that Bachchan has enjoyed. Stars have come and stars have gone but Amitabh Bachchan seems to go on forever.īollywood had seen its fair share of superstars who commanded a legion of fans and sycophant admirers.
