Amitabh Bachchan is an Indian actor whose career spans more than five decades of Hindi cinema. He became one of the industry's defining screen figures through dramatic, action and character-led performances and later developed a second major public role as a television presenter.
His television work demonstrated a measured, conversational style very different from many of his film characters. That ability to conduct long-form exchanges with participants and audiences made reality and game-show presenting an important part of his later career.
