Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, best known for being one half of the iconic screenwriting duo Salim-Javed, recently opened up about a particularly tumultuous period in the illustrious career of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan.
As the mastermind behind some of Indian cinema's most memorable films, including 'Sholay,' 'Don,' and 'Trishul,' Salim Khan has had a front-row seat to the highs and lows of Bachchan's career. And although Bachchan is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors in Indian cinema, even he has faced setbacks and struggles.
During a recent interview, Khan reflected on the period when Bachchan's string of hits came to a sudden halt. Khan described this time as a particularly rough patch for the actor, who had grown accustomed to winning and being successful.
Khan noted that Bachchan's incredible success had instilled in him an unshakeable habit of winning. He was a man who was not only used to success but had also come to expect it as his norm. This made even the slightest setbacks feel like devastating failures.
Despite facing intense criticism and failure, Bachchan persevered and continued to push forward. According to Khan, the actor's unwavering dedication to his craft and his ability to learn from his mistakes were instrumental in helping him bounce back from this difficult period.
Khan also pointed out that Bachchan's family played a significant role in supporting him during this time. The actor's wife, Jaya, and his children were his rock, providing him with the love and encouragement he needed to keep going.
In the end, Bachchan's perseverance paid off, and he was able to reclaim his position as one of India's top actors. Khan's insights into this trying period in Bachchan's life serve as a testament to the actor's strength and resilience.
For fans of Bollywood and Amitabh Bachchan, Khan's recollections offer a rare glimpse into the life of a cinematic icon. They serve as a poignant reminder that even the brightest stars face challenges and that it is how we respond to those challenges that ultimately defines us.
