Everyone is aware about how Big B was rejected by All India Radio for his baritone and some filmmaker even had problem with his height. But the actor after years of hard work and dedication towards his work continues to be Shehanshah of Bollywood and feels it was his 'application picture' which got him rejected initially.
Big B shared a picture on his Instagram account with the caption, “My application picture for a job in movies .. 1968.. no wonder I was rejected !!” Haha! We like how Amitabh Bachchan is taking a jibe at himself here.
In an interview to Stardust magazine, Mr Bachchan spoke at lengths about his struggle to make a mark in Bollywood. He said, “Well, there was a lot of rejection because everywhere I went, I failed to get a job. Because I was either not qualified enough or I was too shy or I was too tongue-tied during my interview and there were more qualified people getting it. Terribly frustrating time. And then eventually, I just packed my bags and left for Calcutta."
But those memories are still stuck in his head.He further added, “After a few years, life in Calcutta became stifling. Something was missing. All along there was a lot of interest towards movies. Specially Hindi movies and having real flights of fancy where you, to a very long shot, imagine yourself connected with the world of films. And all your dreams. And then suddenly a desire to actually go and join the industry, but still very shy. How does one get in? And then coming across this talent contest and applying for it and again rejection. Not being accepted. Chucking up the job. Getting really desperate. Moving to Delhi, back to the house to see my parents. Gearing yourself up for the final plunge and then, landing up at Bombay. Starting your struggle. Some days exciting, some days not so exciting. Some rejection, some achievements. But always moving. And then what followed after that everyone knows."
At 76, the superstar's love for cinema and acting shows in every new role on the big screen. On work front, Big B will be seen in '102 Not Out' with Rishi Kapoorm, 'Thugs Of Hindostan' with Aamir Khan, Katrina Kaif and Fatima Sana Sheikh and there is also 'Brahmastra' with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
