I can not understand why people keep on comparing,none of these actors are International celebreties,even in India people worships their regional actors,these actors do not have consistensy like sachin,there strike rate of hit/flop movies are poor except amir khan.
Whether it is AB or SRK (both of them are bakwas). Just go and watch the programme 'Nanu Iruvude Nimagagi' in ZEE Kannada, hosted by Actor Shivaraj Kumar on every Monday and Tuesday. You people will love it. He literally brings joys to the needy people. I am not Kannadiga but still I like the programme then any reality show. God bless Shivaraj Kumar. I know every Tom, Dick and Harry will gives non-sense reply.
He changed cinema. The rest just copied him. (srk, rajnikanth, etc etc have copied his movies to achieve success)
He changed indian television. No star before him would go on TV he was the first. In 2000 he changed indian television to a level never seen before. The TRPS of KBC1 have gone down in history of indian television. Today every star goes on TV. Amitabh was the first who showed and opened doors.
This man has been the biggest impact on indian entertainment since the last 40years. Anyone that does not agree is just jealous or lieing!

Absolutely correct Rizwan.I agree hundred percent with you.He is the most decent Anchor i have ever seen.He is the master of Indian cinema for sure.He treads way and every one follow.Many actors accept this fact.Actors down south have great respect to this legend of cinema.If you clearly observe even legendary actors like NTR and Shivaji ganeshan used to remake films of Amitabh way back in 70's 80's.He is legend and encyclopedia of cinema industry,and that is period.

"He changed indian television". You mean he changed the model or brand name of TV. Be more specific......

He changed how we watch TV shows in india! KBC1 became a national craze where every household would watch. THis has never happened EVER for a tv show in india before. Today all stars are jumping on the bandwagon trying to copy.
Amitabh Bachchan changed the landscape of indian entertainment from cinema to Tv.

I do agree with Rizwan Khan..Amitabh Bachchan the biggest legend in Indian Cinema...Others are just following him in Movies and Reality shows.
1-Big B has good face value in compare to SRK. 2-Big B never use cheap joke as SRK. 3-He is still an style icon at 68. 4-Lots more SRK try to copy Big B's acting skills. 5-Big B had good recognition at international level where in SRK most of the acting like ae ae which is really irritating.

6 - Big B acts only in Cinemea, SRK acts in real life 7 - Big B has dignified person -ality SRK still behaves like unmatured kid
Unlike many other superstars who had much better run him is still hanging on to glamour, fame and money.
Hope he gets some sense and does understand that there's more filth in his profession than good and does some penance and good work for all those side-sins committed in his quest for fame.

Yesterday I saw the 2nd episode of KBC, and it seems Amitabh was doing paid promotion work for Gujarat since he is new brand ambassador of Gujarat after his friend amar singh and wife was kicked out of UP. the guy who was sitting in hot seat was talking n talking, although he did MA, but claiming that something he has done extra ordinary in life. I was watching the clock and it took 47 minute (including break time) just to finish 2 initial question, then time over and again today he will be dancing garba with John Abraham.
KBC is not just a game show, but it’s a show to check our IQ ability too, that is why people love to sit with their family members to enhance their GK. So please Amit Ji, stop doing nonsense and stick to the basics of KBC.You have plenty of time to promote Gujarat in TV add.

Please tell me which celebrity is not greedy. Except for Rajanikanth and Very few others everybody is greedy and wants to be on top (specially in Bollywood). So your comment seems just a frustration.
1. First Indian star to do the lead roles for 35 years and more with at least one hit film every year he/she worked. 2. First Indian star to work as lead male in more than 100 films in 20 years or less since the launch of his career 3. First Indian film star to be invited to speak in a forum organized by the US president (he is a guest speaker at Clinton Foundation function in Hong Kong which is scheduled to take place in June 2009) 4. First Hindi film star to be addressed for his aura as “one man industry” which was not a name given by himself or his favorite media but was by a famous Academy award winning French film maker “Francois Truffaut”. 5. First Indian star to win BBC’s Star of the Millenium honor 6. First Indian film star whose biography has been written by a British author 7. First Indian film star to give “one thousand interviews” (TV, Radio, newspaper) 8. He is the only megastar in the world who is so much unsupported by the media in his career and still made his way to immense popularity. There is no example as such anywhere in the world’s film making as yet. 9. First Indian film star who continues to be a fashion icon at more than 60 years of age. His grey goatee is a rage amongst middle-aged men in South Asia, mostly in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. 10.First Indian star to have the privilege of having wax statue in Madam Tussaude (london , Ne

Do you really believe teh grey goatee is a rage in South Asia...India, Nepal and Bangladesh (Maybe the mullah in Bangladesh sport goatees, but that may be due to religious reasons, so I will grant you that much).
This 'wax statue' in Madam Tussaud's museum is another hype. It is actually an unimpressive musueum - I have been there - and they have virtually anybody in there...Saddam Hussien, to porn stars... I personally think Big B is much bigger than Madam Tussaud's and if anything Madam Tussaud's should consider it an honor having Big B's statue and not the other way round.

LOL...to some of your points...they were almost a joke.
What is this "First Indian star whose biography was written by a British author".
LOL..friend anyone can write a Biography. Dont show your inferiority and awe about white skin here. The woman who wrote Big B's biography, is not a famous writer, she was a British girl who came to know about Amitabh through her Indian Friends in London and wanted to meet him and kept pestering Amitabh with fan mail...eventually he agreed to meet her in a Mumbai hotel, where she told him that she wanted to write his life story and he reluctantly agreed...at one point going against his earlier decision and threatening her with a lawsuit.
So dont get so thrilled that an unknown British woman attempted to write about Big B's life, and that his supposed to be Big B's accomplishment! If anything you are disgracing Big B by including that as his achievement (which I think is the intent of this Mega list).
Next, "First Indian star to work as lead male in more than 100 films in 20 years or less since the launch of his career". THAT is wrong.
Infact I remember Big B asking a question in KBC about the Indian actor who till this day holds the Guiness World REcord for acting in most number of films as the male lead. (The answer is PREM NAZIR...who I believe acted in close to 500 films of which 480 were as male lead in a career spanning 30 years in Malayalam cinema).

u r right setu, writing a biography of BIG B by a british author is not a big thing. i saw ur autobiography on a book store. it ws available absolutely free bt no one ws even interested in looking to the cover of ur autobiography. actually ur name is showing ur mentality, its nt ur fault.

LOL..Raj dont get so defensive. All I said is that you got your fact wrong about AB having maximum movies as male lead.
That does not mean that 1. Prem Nazir must have biographies written for his record to stand.
2. Who told you that Prem Nazir does not have biographies written.
Stop obsessing about film stars. Yes AB is a great star, but dont make your life revolve around him, to such an extent that if some one comes in and corrects you for quoting an incorrect piece of statistic/record, you would have to come up with something to pull that person down.
As far as Rajnikanth and AB are concerned, both have deepest regards for each other. Rajnikanth also agrees that his early success has been due to remake of AB films (not taking away the credit of Mr Kant). Similarly we should respect both legends. No one can take away the work that they have done and everyone respect them for that. So please do not create a north south divide.
