Meanwhile in “Silsila” and “Kabhi Kabhie”, the audience got a glimpse of his romantic side as an actor, which proved that he can go beyond his ‘angry young man’ image.
From intense dramas to light-hearted comedies, Amitabh Bachchan has proved that talent has no limits and age is no barrier. With a filmography spanning more than 200 movies, he remains one of India’s most respected and admired actors.
