Agar Bhartiya cinema ki baat ho aur Amitabh Bachchan ka naam na aaye, aisa ho hi nahi sakta. Vo sirf ek abhineta nahi hain, balki ek daur, ek sangharsh ki kahani aur karodon logon ke liye prerna hain. Jis insaan ne asafalta, tangi, bimaari aur giravat sab kuch dekha, vahi aaj “sadi ka mahanayak” kehlata hai.
Shuruaati Jeevan: Ilahabad se Mumbai tak ka safar
Amitabh Bachchan ka janm 11 October 1942 ko Ilahabad (ab Prayagraj) mein hua. Unke pita Harivansh Ray Bachchan Hindi sahitya ke mahan kavi the aur maa Teji Bachchan padhi-likhi aur pragatishil vicharon wali mahila thi. Aise mahol mein pale-bade Amitabh ke bheetar anushasan, bhasha ki samajh aur vicharon ki gehrai bachpan se hi thi.
Bachpan se hi unki awaaz bhari aur alag thi, lekin yahi awaaz aage chal kar unki pehchan banegi, ye kisi ne nahi socha tha. Padhai ke mamle mein bhi vo acche the. Unhone Nainital ke Sherwood college aur fir Delhi University ke Kirorimal college se padhai ki.
Sapnon ki nagri aur pahli asaflataen
College ke baad Amitabh ka man naukri mein nahi laga. Unhone films mein jaane ka sapna dekha.Rekha aur Mumbai aa gaye. Lekin yahaan sapne aasani se poore nahi hote. Unki lambi kad-kaathi aur bhaari aawaz ko us daur mein “hero material” nahi mana gaya.
All India Radio ne to unki aawaz ko hi reject kar diya tha. Kai filmo mein audition diye, lekin rejection hi haath laga. Kuch waqt tak haalat itne kharab the ki jeb mein paise nahi hote the, raatein sadko par kat ti thi.
Pehla break aur pehchaan ki talaash
1971 mein film “Saat Hindustani” se Amitabh ne Bollywood mein kadam rakha. Film zyada nahi chali, lekin Amitabh ki pratibha dikne lagi. Asli pehchaan unhe 1973 mein aayi film “Zanjeer” se mili.
“Zanjeer” ne unhe angry young man bana diya. Us waqt desh mein berozgaari, bhrashtachar aur system se gussa aam tha. Amitabh ka kirdaar seedhe logon ke dil se jud gaya. Iske baad unhone peeche mudkar nahi dekha.
Safalta ka daur: Har ghar ka Amitabh
70 aur 80 ka dashak Amitabh Bachchan ka tha.
Deewaar, Sholay, Trishul, Mukaddar ka Sikandar, Agneepath, Kala Patthar jaisi filmo ne unhe superstar se megastar bana diya.
“Sholay” ka Jai ho ya “Deewaar” ka Vijay – har kirdaar mein vo itne asli lagte the.ki log unhe apna samajhne lage. Unke dialog aaj bhi zubaan par hain –
“Aaj mere paas bangla hai, gaadi hai…”
Niji Jeevan: Jaya se jeevan sangini tak
Filmon ke set par hi Amitabh ki mulaqat Jaya Bhaduri se hui. Dono ne 1973 me shaadi ki. Jaya khud ek behtarin abhinetri thi. Unke do bacche hue – Shweta aur Abhishek.
Parivaar hamesha Amitabh ki taqat bana raha, khaaskar tab jab zindagi ne sabse kathin imtihaan liya.
Durghatna aur maut se mukabla
1982 me film “Coolie” ki shooting ke dauran Amitabh ko gambhir chot lagi. Haalat itni naazuk thi ki poora desh unke liye dua kar raha tha. Kai dino tak zindagi aur maut ki ladai chali.
Lekin Amitabh bache. Shayad isliye kyonki unka safar abhi khatam nahi hua tha.

Giravat, karz aur phir waapsi
90 ke dashak me Amitabh ne filmon se break liya aur business me haath aazmanaya. ABCL naam ki company banai, lekin ye faisla galat saabit hua. Karodon ka karz ho gaya.
Jis insaan ke naam se theater bhar jaate the, wahi karz me doob gaya. Lekin Amitabh ne haar nahi maani. Unhone phir se kaam shuru kiya – chote role, TV, vijnaapan, jo bhi mila.
KBC aur doosri baarida hard work kartey hai jitni pehle kartey they. Social media par active hai, naye kalakaron ke sath kaam kartey hai aur seekhtey rehtey hai.
Unki zindagi hamein sikhati hai ki:
- Asafalta ant nahi hoti
- Umar rukawat nahi hai
- Mehnat aur imandari kabhi bekar nahi jati
- Nishkarsh: Amitabh sirf naam nahi, ek sabak hai
Amitabh Bachchan ki kahani sirf ek abhineta ki kahani nahi hai. Ye us insaan ki kahani hai jisne har bar girkar khud ko uthaya. Jisne halaton se samjhauta nahi kiya.
Shayad isliye aaj bhi jab parde par Amitabh aate hain, to log sirf film nahi dekhte — ek itihas dekhte hai, ek prerana dekhte hai.
