Amitabh Bachchan turns 70 Hyderabad: Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan completes 69 years and has entered into 70s on Tuesday. The birthday boy wrote in his blog, about his busy schedule at KBC.
Beginning at he wrote about his birth in the most crowded place of Allahabad. 'I was born today! The 11th of October 1942 in Allahabad in a small private maternity outfit run by a missionary Dr Brar, in the most crowded market area of the city, Katra.
I was brought home by my parents in the best possible transport machinery that they could afford ' a tonga ! Wrapped in a 'gudari' I still refer to many that I am a 'gudari ka lal' ' a human that is affiliated with the cheapest form of clothing.'
'I have noticed on many occasions that the life and the style of those that live in such conditions, are closest to me in temperament. There is a certain sense of attachment every time I come in close contact with people and circumstances that narrate to me stories of the time.
That is my most alluring possession. I have complete ease and identify myself with those that inhabit those lands,' he further noted.
That is the reason why the present edition of KBC has a special feature of bringing in the underprivileged people to the hot seat to help them with the little money that spells a fortune to them. Every week you have one such participant, besides a celebrity playing for charity on the last day of the week.
