Amitabh Bachchan can easily be called the Man for All Seasons. When the legendary actor entered the film industry he broke the myth of the conventionally good looking hero that was prevalent in those days.
He slowly became the face of the angry young man with the kind of cinema he was a part of. He became the brooding hero who tried to fight the system for the poor and needy. His films provided us with aspirational social justice be it in Deewar or Trishul. Bachchan became the voice of the angry youth of those times.
Times changed and the cinema changed too but Bachchan continued to change with the changing cinema and was there at the right place at the right time. He found a place for himself which unfortunately Dilip Kumar couldn't make for himself post his hero days.
Though it was during his tough days, the actor made his debut on television but forged a path to success which he still enjoys with the same show Kaun Banega Crorepati.
Bachchan has always kept up with the times-- his blog and social media activities are added proof of this. In initial days he was a little iffy about what was written about him in the media and did use his blog as retort but he has sobered down over time.
Bachchan has been experimenting with cinema and taking risks that no actor of today would dare to. Right from Pa, 102 Not Out, Pink, and now Gulabo Sitabo. He is also fulfilling the wishes of those who have been wanting to work with him for years. Though some of those who were slightly junior to him during his days as the hero were also intimidated by him. But today's generation finds him a complete Cool Dude on sets.
Bachchan is not just a legendary actor but the most tech-savvy actor in Bollywood as well. His posts could give any millennial a run for their likes!
