Amitabh Bachchan (अिमताभ बच्चन) (born October 11 1942) is an Indian film-actor.
Biography
Bachchan was born in the city of Allahabad, India. His father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, was a well-known poet. The original last name of the family was "Srivastav"; "Bachchan" was in fact a pen name used by Amitabh's father. However, when Amitabh entered films he did so under his father's pen name. Now he is never known as anything but Amitabh Bachchan. His immediate family has also adopted the Bachchan surname. His mother, Teji Bachchan, is still alive.
In a recent interview with Stardust magazine, Amitabh had this to say about his family background: "We were born in Allahabad. Allahabad is a middle level town but extremely rich in all kinds of activities... My father came from a very Eastern background and my mother was very Western. She'd studied in a convent, she had an English nurse to look after her and she came from a very affluent house. There was a lot of difference in their cultures. My father is a Kayastha from U.P. My mother is from Punjab, Karachi. She's a Sikh. My father's a writer, a poet, man of letters. A stalwart. My mother, strong in her values, in her beliefs. And therefore, fortunately, I got a lovely blend of both the worlds, the east and west."
