There's always a fear that I can lose everything: Amitabh Bachchan
FirstpostFame and adulation sit easy on Bachchan’s shawl-draped shoulders, as he tells Forbes India in an exclusive interview that despite all the successes he has had, there’s always a fear, an anxiety that tough times could return again without warning. Nearly forty five years after he first faced the cameras in Khwaja Ahmed Abbas’s Saath Hindustani, Amitabh Bachchan today is revered as the ultimate megastar of the movies, arguably the biggest Indian cinema has ever seen. The latter was his only release in the past year, but Amitabh Bachchan continues to dominate Forbes India’s Celebrity 100 list, holding rock steady at number five for the second successive year, and actually increasing his earnings by a healthy 27 percent, thanks to his hugely popular television quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati, which just concluded its seventh season, and a string of endorsements. Despite being a megastar and being labeled a one-man industry, Bachchan’s financial fortunes saw a steep decline after his company Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Ltd got into serious financial trouble.
