He first gained popularity in the early 1970s as the "angry young man" of Hindi cinema, and has since appeared in over 180 Indian films in a career spanning more than four decades. Bachchan is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential actors in the history of Indian cinema.

He is the most-nominated performer in any major acting category at Filmfare, with 37 nominations overall. In addition to acting, Bachchan has worked as a playback singer, film producer and television presenter. He also had a stint in politics in the 1980s.

Bachban was born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh. His father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, was a Hindi poet, and his mother, Teji Bachchan, was a Sikh from Faisalabad (now in Pakistan). Bachchan was initially named Inquilaab, inspired from the famous phrase Inquilab Zindabad, during the Indian independence struggle. However, at the suggestion of fellow poet Sumitranandan Pant, Harivansh Rai changed the name to Amitabh which means, "the light that would never go off." Though his surname was Shrivastava, his father had adopted the pen-name Bachchan (meaning child-like in colloquial Hindi), under which he published all his works. It is with this last name that Amitabh debuted in films, and, for all public purposes, it has become the surname of all members of his family. Bachchan's father died in 2003, and his mother in 2007.

The rhythm of your voice -- it cuts me through
No secrets in what I reveal to you
A smile for my face, but a knife for my back
You're Mr.Transparent, true friends you lack
No time for greed, backshine
It's time to leave, backshine
You won't deceive, backshine
Too late to grieve, backshine
You climb your ladder all by yourself
Away from work there ain't no-one else
In the office you drift on by
So called-friends avoid your eye
No time for greed backshine
It's time to leave, backshine
You won't deceive, backshine
Too late to grieve, backshine
A brown stained tongue makes your breath foul
The centre of hate when you're not around
Continue to stab the back of the world
You won't be heard it's time to learn
No time for greed backshine
It's time to leave, backshine
You won't deceive, backshine
Too late to grieve, backshine
No time for greed backshine
It's time to leave, backshine
You won't deceive, backshine
Too late to grieve, backshine
Ok lang, kahit na tawagin mo akong tanga
Ok lang, kahit na sabihin mo na ako'y buang
Ok lang, kahit na ipagsabi mo na ako'y sabog
Ok lang, kahit na ipagkalat mo na ako'y wasak
[Refrain]
Ang mga bano ay di nagwawagi
Ang nagwawagi ay hindi bano
[Chorus]
Wag mo ako tawaging bano
Nasasaktan ang aking damdamin
Hindi ako isang bano
Kahit na ako ay iyakin
Ok lang, kahit na ipagsabi mo na ako'y sabog
Ok lang, kahit na ipagkalat mo na ako'y wasak
[Repeat Refrain and Chorus]
Ok lang, kahit sunugin mong bahay ko
Wag mo lang ako tatawaging bano
Ok lang, kahit kainin mo'ng aso kong ngongo
Wag mo lang ako tatawaging bano
(Bano) Hindi ako bano
