Amitabh Bachchan talks about his fortunate career, his father, and his compulsive need to keep working

There are two types of people — big ocean liners and nuclear submarines — when both meld into one, you get Amitabh Bachchan, a man who has revelled in his art form to bring joy to millions. A little known fact: his name was changed from Inquilaab (revolution) to Amitabh (blinding light) —  at the insistence of his father's friend Sumitranandan Pant. Ironically, years later Amitabh starred in a movie of the same name and he fit into an iconic role that he essayed with great perfection for years — that of an Angry Young Man.
