Amitabh Bachchan - 100 years of Indian cinema.

The multi-award winning actor of countless classics bagged major share of votes from critics, fans and the film fraternity to be named on top in the survey '100 Greatest Bollywood Stars' published by a British Asian weekly newspaper.
In a career spanning an incredible 40 years, 70-year-old Bachchan blockbusters like "Sholay" and "Deewar". He is also credited with bridging the gap between Bollywood and TV by hosting popular game show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati'.
Referred to as Big B by his fans, Bachchan was also the first Bollywood star to be honoured with a statue at Madame Tussauds and recently represented India as the Olympic torch-bearer at the London 2012 Games.
The survey was compiled via a combination of audience votes through social media, box-office figures, cinematic impact and critical acclaim.
Bachchan's own choice and yesteryears acting legend Dilip Kumar came in second with Shah Rukh Khan coming in a close third.
Madhuri Dixit topped the survey among Bollywood's female actresses and was placed fourth in the overall list.
"I am proud to be a part of that and I am also proud to be a part of the whole movement where cinema is getting better and we are trying to do something different," Madhuri said.
"It's wonderful to be highly placed, but it also comes with a great sense of responsibility on my shoulders where I have to do better every time when I am doing something. So I love it and I love what I do," she added.
The others who made it to the top 10 included names like Raj Kapoor (5), Nargis (6), Dev Anand (7), Waheeda Rehman (8), Rajesh Khanna (9) and Sridevi (10).Other notable stars to make the cut include Salman Khan (11), Aamir Khan (14), Dharmendra (15), Hema Malini (18), Madhubala (24), Kajol (30), Hrithik Roshan (32), Rani Mukerji (38), Kareena Kapoor (43), Mumtaz (50), Saif Ali Khan (59), Priyanka Chopra (86) and Katrina Kaif (93).

BACHCHANALIA....Big B's biography !

Lançada , no dia 15 de Janeiro, mais uma biografia de Amitabh Bachchan, intitulada "Bachchanalia". A cerimónia de apresentaçao do livro foi homenageada por Yash Chopra, e o livro apresentado por Aamir Khan. "To be or not to be"..... já sabem do que estou a falar, e como um ferrenho fã desta personalidade, tambem espero ter este "Bachchanalia" na minha colecção.

Amitabh Bachchan's first day in the Blogsphere....

Photo taken by own Amitji...long arms !.

This has been an overwhelming revelation !!
I would at the outset wish to thank all those that helped me put up this facility, at bigadda.com and compliment them for their efficient and committed working. It seems like a new life altogether.
I have today opened my Blog to find hundreds of reactions and inputs. Frankly i had never expected this. But now that i have , i am committed to respond to them. There are several that need a personal answer because of the nature of their queries or comments. I am going to start doing that as i work on my set, in between shots.
For now as my first communication, i wish for a little patience for me to get used to this facility and its technical operation. And as soon as that is done, i shall be on the job.
This is therefore a general communication, but i will get down to personal responses in a while. Bear with me.
To those that have complimented my family and me, my career and my films - a very sincere thank you.
Some have questioned my films and what they entail in the future - i shall give them some idea of that.
Others have brought valid arguments for debate - namely the obvious plagiarisationin films and my subsequent comment on my dislike for western comparative attitudes - i shall put across my points.
There is a question on the reason for repeating my interviews on the blog even though they have been read in print. Very valid, but with a minor difference. Read the print in the newspaper and then minutely, my official written responses and you will discover that all that i have given has NOT been incorporated in the press. This is not an accusation. Press has the liberty and the right to print, in their assessment what they feel needs to go on their paper. But at times i feel, all that i had to say and the manner in which it was said, can and does give a different mentality to the interview. I would in all fairness therefore, want the readers of my Blog, that take the trouble to access it, be privy to facts as they were portrayed by me. And in the true spirit of fairness allow the reader to judge what he thinks is acceptable or not.
The Blog shall therefore give all of us an opportunity to interact as freely as possible and not have to wait for, or be guided by, another medium, which may not be as easily approachable as this Blog.
In conclusion, for the moment i wish to thank once again all those that came on and apologize for not given them my personal attention. I shall in time.
And one last matter.
Many that have written in, have expressed surprise that i being in an exalted position have considered to talk , metaphorically, to the ‘common man’.
This is unacceptable to me. No one is ‘common’. We are all in God’s world ’special’ humans, each one of us. Each one of us have qualities unique and different from others. I do not and certainly not my family, hold any kind of ’special’ status. I am as ‘common’ as the common man and as ’special’ as him too.
My love and my regards to all the readers for entering my heart and providing me an opportunity to enter yours....
Amitabh Bachchan
