Big B and Me...and Me!
Brace yourselves as here on the Asian Network we celebrate 40 years of Mr Amitabh Bachchan in the Hindi Film Industry.Ìý You'll be able to hear something throughout the week on almost every show.
From Nikki Bedi talking about a rare interview with the Big B and his wife on the Asian Magazine programme in 1983 (which you can watch online) to our in depth interview we recorded at his home Jannat in Mumbai to be aired on Love Bollywood this weekend (Sat 12th and Sun 13th Dec).
Check out this classic Bachchan interview:
Raj: Where does one begin?ÌýÌýFrom Abhimaan as the jealous star to Jaya Bhadhri's singer on the rise; the dispossessed lover in Muquddar Ka Sikander toÌý the criminal on the run in Faraar.Ìý Who can forgetÌýhim as the betrayed bitter lover in Kabhi Kabhie to the criminal Don to the freedom fighter in Desh Premee andÌý the stern father in K3G.Ìý The list goes on with his role as the betrayed parent in Baghbaan toÌýthe ghost in Bhoothnath and the genie in Aladin to the child in Paa.Ìý The diversity and impact is unmeasurable. What an artiste!Ìý Although everyone loves his pairing with Rekha - I loved his chemistry with Zeenat Aman . Think The Great Gambler, Don, Mahaan, Dostana, Lawaaris and Pukar.Ìý What a jodi!
Pablo: Amar Akbar Anthony is my first memory of Mr. Bachchan, I remember watching the film again and again, thinking who is this rather tall and very funny actor?Ìý He then totally got me again in Naseeb (both films my first purchases on VHS).Ìý Little did I know, a good time later I would be sitting in a cinema dabbing my eyes with a tissue, watching Paa.Ìý I must also admit as a kid I was always jealous he got to play such great roles with Rekha, the pair's chemistry has still not been matched and it would be amazing to see them both on screen today.
