Abhishek Bachchan

The illustrious Bachchan family of India is a dynasty like no other, with three generations of Bollywood royalty. The patriarch of the family, Amitabh Bachchan, was born in 1942 in Allahabad, British India, to poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan. His deep baritone voice was sought after for narration and background commentary, and he eventually rose to fame with a lead role in the film Saat Hindustani. His wife, Jaya Bhaduri, born in 1948, was an acclaimed actress in her own right, with a career spanning from 1963 to 1981. She was also a script writer, known for her work on Shahenshah. Their son, Abhishek Bachchan, born in 1976, is a successful actor, producer, singer, voice-over artiste, and entrepreneur, winning critical acclaim for his portrayal of an angsty young goon in 2004's Yuva and the Filmfare 'Best Supporting Actor' Award for the role. Such is the legacy of the Bachchan family, which has played a major role in the world of Indian cinema for decades.
