Aamir Khan shares evidence of being Amitabh Bachchan’s biggest fan
A video shared by the makers of the show, features Aamir with his son at the hot seat as Big B, who serves as the host of the show, engages in a conversion with them. In the video, Aamir asks Big B about the date of his marriage with actress Jaya Bachchan. The senior actor remembers it vividly as he replies in a heartbeat, June 3, 1973.
To this Aamir asks Big B to tender an evidence for the date. A flummoxed Big B looks at the oddball that Aamir threw at him. However, Aamir tells him that he has the evidence of Big B’s marriage to Jaya before he goes on to furnish a copy of the wedding invitation of Jaya and Amitabh.
The ‘Ghajini’ actor then tells him, “I have provided the evidence for being the number 1 fan of yours”.
Big B, who ruled the cinema in the mid-1970s and the early 1980s has many loyal fans across the country and the diaspora community owing to his stature as a megastar and his image of the “angry young man” of the 1970s.
Big B was the second biggest superstar in chronology after Rajesh Khanna. It’s interesting how the downfall of Rajesh Khanna was juxtaposed with the rise of Big B. A lot of credit for Big B’s success goes to the legendary screenwriting duo Salim-Javed, who devised the “angry young man” and made him a template.
Recently, a streaming documentary showcasing the professional and personal lives of the screenwriting legends was also released on Prime Video.
