This man made Amitabh Bachchan ‘angry young man’, it’s not Salim Khan, Javed Akhtar or Prakash Mehra

Amitabh Bachchan became labelled a flop actor at one point. His career began with the film ‘Saat Hindustani’, which did now not make an impact. He delivered 12 consecutive flops, earning him the tag of a flop hero early in his career. Nonetheless, his success changed when he became cast inside the 1973 film ‘Zanjeer’. It became a job originally rejected by many top actors resulting from its unconventional portrayal of a hero.

Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Zanjeer’ now not only turn out to be a blockbuster but additionally established him as an ‘angry young man’ which began his stardom. We can say that Zanjeer marked a turning point in his career, transforming him from a struggling actor into a star.

But do Amitabh Bachchan got the tag of ‘angry young man’ in his childhood? Yes, you read it right.

In an upcoming episode of KBC sixteen, where Aamir Khan will appear as a guest along with his son Junaid Khan, Amitabh Bachchan narrated a story from his childhood. Recalling his fond memories with mother Teji Bachchan, the supertar said, “At some point I came home crying and telling my mother that his friends had beaten him. Seeing me in distress, my mother spoke back, ‘Return and are available home only after beating them.” She encouraged Amitabh to recognise his own strength and now not allow anyone to dominate him. Taking her advice, Amitabh returned, fought with the boys and stood up for himself. After narrating this story, Aamir humorously commented, ‘This became the birth of the ‘Angry Young Man,’ which made Amitabh laugh out loud.
