Ram Gopal Verma Pens Quirky Note For A Magazine Which Declared Amitabh Bachchan's Career 'Finished'

Amitabh Bachchan is an actor in the Indian film industry who never ceases to amaze audiences with his top-notch performances on screen. At 81, he still stands tall and has the ability to give the younger generation of actors a run for their money. In a career spanning over five decades, Amitabh has starred in innumerable blockbuster hit films. However, his 1990 film, Agneepath was unsuccessful at the box office.

Amitabh Bachchan's professional front

After rising to meteoric fame as the 'Angry Young Man' of India in the 1970s, Amitabh Bachchan's career declined in the 1980s, and he had a series of box office failures. The decline followed the next decade as well. However, his career was resurrected when he started hosting the quiz-based show, Kaun Banega Crorepati.

More recently, the 81-year-old was seen in the sci-fi film, Kalki 2898 AD, co-starring Prabhas, Kamal Haasan, Deepika Padukone, and others. The Nag Ashwin film has grossed over Rs. 1000 crore at the box office. Moreover, Amitabh Bachchan, who is now busy with the 16th season of Kaun Banega Crorepati, will be next seen in Section 84 and Vettaiyan.

Amitabh Bachchan's personal life

Apart from his professional front, Amitabh Bachchan has been married to Jaya Bachchan for over five decades now. The couple has two children, Abhishek and Shweta, who are well-settled in their respective lives. However, there have been reports for quite some time now stating that Amitabh and his family's tie with their bahu, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, have not been well. There have been rumours for quite some time that Abhishek and Aishwarya had been facing serious troubles in their marriage, with the latter even moving out of her sasural with their daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.
