Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary Bollywood icon, has always been a symbol of adoration and reverence. His recent fan meet outside his home, Jalsa, in Mumbai’s Juhu area was no exception. The senior actor, clad in a hoodie and black pants, shared heartfelt moments with his devoted fans. But what caught everyone’s attention was his candid admission: “This love shall remain a huge debt that I can never repay.”

Bachchan’s illustrious career spans nearly six decades, during which he delivered one blockbuster after another. He even dethroned the reigning superstar Rajesh Khanna. Yet, there was a time when the tides turned against him. In the 1990s, his production company, ABCL, faced financial turmoil, plunging into heavy debt.
ABCL’s ambitious attempt to revolutionize Indian filmmaking—aligning it with modern corporate-backed studios—didn’t yield the expected results. The company’s woes escalated when it organized the 1996 edition of the Miss World pageant, which returned to India after 28 years. The event was marred by protests, with one tragic incident of self-immolation. ABCL incurred significant losses.
Desperate to settle the debts, Amitabh Bachchan made a pivotal decision: he agreed to host the quiz-based reality show, “Kaun Banega Crorepati” (KBC). The show became an instant hit, reaching every Indian household. Television, the medium that had once turned its back on him, became his savior. Bachchan reclaimed his superstardom, transcending language barriers and becoming a cinematic force not only in Hindi but across Indian cinema.
