Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan (born October 11, 1942, in Allahabad, India) also known as Big B, is a very popular Indian actor.

Politics

In 1984, Amitabh briefly entered politics in support of long-time family friend Rajiv Gandhi. He contested Allahabad's parliament seat against H. N. Bahuguna, a well-known politician and won. However, his political career was short-lived; he resigned after three years without finishing his term. At the same time, Gandhi's Congress Party government was reeling from accusations of corruption. Amitabh was never implicated in the corruption and has since distanced himself from the Gandhi family. Some say that all these events are connected; Amitabh will only say that he found politics unpleasant and resigned for personal reasons.
