Amitabh Bachchan, India's most popular star of Hindi Films was born at Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh and is now residing at Mumbai with his family. A phenomenon by himself, he has been rightly labeled as a 'One man Industry' or 'The Big B'. Named as 'Actor of the Millennium' in a BBC news Poll, Amitabh Bachchan is the highest paid Bollywood actor today. He is the first Asian actor having a wax model of his likeness displayed at Madame Tussaud's museum in London. In 1984, he was honoured by the Indian government with Padma Shri, and in 2001 with Padhmabhushan Award for his outstanding contribution to Indian film Industry. The tall, brooding persona with his deep voice and intense eyes is successful in whatever he does, be it films, music albums or Television shows. At sixty plus Amitabh still reigns supreme amidst the young stars as the King of Bollywood.
