2) Amitabhji has a courageous attitude:
At the age of 60 when people retire and sit back in their homes so that their children could work and they could enjoy their retirement life, Amitabhji didn’t follow the trend. Although he had launched his son Abhishek Bachchan in 2000, Amitabhji faced a lot of financial losses during that period due to the failed films produced by his company. In order to save the reputation of his family and bounce back in the film industry, he didn’t mind venturing into television with his famous serial Kaun Banega Crorepati. That’s when Amitabhji’s new looks were caught and producers started showing interest in giving Amitabhji meaningful roles as fatherly figures or mentors or teachers in their films. Amitabhji didn’t say that he is too old to pick those films and despite having aging issues, he welcomed the opportunity and created wealth that is for his future generations to take care of.
3) Amitabhji knows to tackle his personal life:
Amitabhji was criticized by the media in his younger days for having an extra-marital affair with successful actress Rekha. The days were so tough for him and his family including his wife and children, that they couldn’t face the media glare that kept writing nonsense stuff about him. However, all those rumors died down when Amitabhji decided to tackle his personal life matters his own way. He ensured that his work spoke more about him in the public than his personal life matters. He remained bold and brave to face the public and owned any mistakes he did intentionally or unintentionally. He never criticized any actor or actress in the public domain, thus showing his humble and generous side.
