Amitabh Bachchan Biography
Amitabh Bachchan’s trademark deep baritone voice, tall, brooding persona and intense eyes, made him the ideal “Angry Young Man”, setting him apart from the cluster of Bollywood’s lover boys. However, his unconventional looks did work against him at the beginning of his Bollywood career, but he stayed around long enough to be become the icon of the Indian film industry.
Amitabh Bachchan was born in Allahabad in 1942, to Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Teji Bachchan. Bachchan was initially named Inquilaab. However, at the suggestion of fellow poet, Harivansh Rai changed the name to Amitabh which means, “the light that would never go off.” Though his surname was Shrivastava, he replaced it with ‘Bachchan’, which was his father’s pen name. Amitabh Bachchan studied in Allahabad at Jnana Pramodhini and Boys High School. He completed his education at Sherwood College in Nainital and Kirori Mal College in Delhi. His first job was in Shaw Wallace. Amitabh later worked as a freight broker for a shipping firm called Bird and Co., in Kolkata, a job he quit to pursue a career in acting.
In 1969, Amitabh made his debut with Saat Hindustani, which won him the National Film Award for Best Newcomer. After this came movies like Reshma Aur Shera, Parwana, and Anand in 1971. He made a huge impact with his performance in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Anand alongside Rajesh Khanna, winning him the Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award. His breakthrough as a lead was in the film Zanjeer (1973) which established his persona of the “angry young man” of Bollywood. Amitabh reworked the image of the Hindi film hero with major hits like Deewar, Sholay, Trishul and Don. He popularised the violent melodrama genre but had an equal flair for tragedies (Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Shakti) and comedies (Chupke Chupke, Amar Akbar Anthony) as well. His status as a demi-god was evident when the entire nation prayed for his recovery when he met with a fatal injury during the making of Coolie in July, 1982.
In 1984, Amitabh entered politics in support of long time friend Rajiv Gandhi. He contested Allahabad’s Lok Sabha seat and won by a huge margin. Accusations of him being involved in the Bofors Scandal made him quit politics, although, later on, he was proved innocent. Amitabh returned to films with blockbusters like Shahenshah, Agneepath, Hum and Khuda Gawah. A series of flops in mid 90’s and the collapse of his company, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd. landed him in immense debts. He returned back to movies but with no success.
In the year 2000, he stepped up to host the television show Kaun Banega Crorepati and later was seen in Mohabbatein along with Shah Rukh Khan. Both these ventures proved extremely successful. Since then Amitabh has been on a roll. At sixty plus, with all the endorsements and accolades, he is a greater icon than he was at the height of his popularity three decades ago.
In recent past we have seen Amitabh doing vastly different roles in fims like Sarkar Raj, The Last Lear, Paa, Teen Patti and Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap.
He ​starred in Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan in 2011, ​but ​the film failed to do well at the box​ ​office​ though​ ​Big B​’s role was widely appreciated. ​His other releases – Ram Gopal Varma’s ​Department and Zamaanat also failed to do well at the box office.
He did an item song in the Bol Bachchan and a guest appearance in English Vinglish. He was seen in the Hollywood drama film The Great Gatsby, based on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel which released on May 10, 2013. It is ​Big B’s ​first Hollywood film​.​
He play​ed​ the role of a firm believer in Satyagraha- a political drama film directed by Prakash Jha. Later, he ​gave a voice over to Bhishma​’s character​ in the animated movie Mahabharat​ and also starred in Bhoothnath Returns.​​

The Shah​e​ns​h​a​h​ of Bollywood will be seen in Shamitabh, Piku that are scheduled to release in 2015.

kumar sangakkara

Kumar Sangakkara
In several dimensions, each 
of them prominent and some
 exclusive, Kumar Sangakkara
 is special.He is the Sri Lankan
 batsman who is unquestionably
 world class, be it his majestic 
numbers or his exquisite cover-drives. 
He was also a wicketkeeper for a fair period, good enough to handle the vagaries dished out on Sri Lankan
 snake pits by Muttiah Muralitharan. Finally, he is perhaps the only leading cricketer to profess a fancy for Oscar Wilde.
At home against the best of bowling, he is equally at ease when addressing the entire cricket world   -delivering the MCC Spirit of Cricket Cowdrey Lecture at the age of just 33. He can write his speeches better than most of the hacks in business. He takes on the greatest of bowlers and also challenges the quagmires of Sri Lanka’s political establishment and cricket administration. He is a voice of the nation, bearing hopes, dreams and promises of the future after years of turmoil, terrorism and civil wars.
He amasses runs - lots of them.  With eight double centuries, Sangakkara is behind Don Bradman’s 12 and Brian Lara’s nine in the all-time tally. He is also the classiest ever to emerge from the island, a synthesis of style, pedigree and panache.
His batting was too priceless to squander for the extra value he brought in as a stumper - hence he had to give up the role in Tests. Indeed, as a specialist batsman he averages close to 70. In the One-Day game, he has performed both the jobs with success -although not as prolific as in the longer format.
He was a rather reluctant captain - the selectors initially preferring the more down to earth diplomacy of Mahela Jayawardene. Sangakkara accepted his buddy’s leadership, becoming a loyal advisor. Their friendship and contribution to Sri Lanka’s cause were sealed when they added 624 against South Africa at Colombo.
Sangakkara did become skipper in 2009. He led in 15 Tests - winning five, losing three. He also led Sri Lanka to the finals of the World T20I in 2009 and the World Cup in India in 2011. Later, as the best batsman of the side, he guided them to the ICC World T20I crown in 2014.

This led to irreconcilable differences between her parents, ultimately leading to a separation, with both sisters living with their mother who managed their careers.

Her film debut was in the year 2000 with 'Refugee' along with the debut of Amitabh Bachchan's son, Abhishek. She went on to appear in 31 other Hindi movies, and has thus far won four awards for her performances in 'Refugee', 'Chameli', 'Dev', and 'Omkara'.

She is one of the most sought-after actresses in Bollywood, considered bankable, with an enviable A-listing and as of June 2007 is to appear in 'Tashan', 'Lajjo', 'Kismat Talkies' amongst others.
