description: "For two decades, Bollywood wasn't an industry — it was him. The \"angry young man\" who turned Hindi cinema into what a French director called a \"one-man industry,\" stacking the highest-grossing films of the 1970s and '80s until the term \"superstar\" felt inadequate."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Allahabad in 1942, Bachchan started as a voice narrator in 1969, then worked through early films like Anand before Zanjeer made him the face of a new archetype. Through Deewaar, Sholay, and a run of blockbusters — Amar Akbar Anthony, Don, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar — he became what Time called "the undisputed godfather of Bollywood." After stepping back in the 1990s, he returned in 2000 with Mohabbatein and a second act that brought four National Film Awards for Best Actor (a record), plus roles in Black, Paa, Piku, and a Hollywood turn in The Great Gatsby. Over 200 films, sixteen Filmfare Awards, India's Padma Vibhushan and Dadasaheb Phalke Award, France's Legion of Honour, and a sideline hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati. He's starred in more box-office peaks than most industries produce in a generation.
