Why does Amitabh Bachchan hate the word 'Bollywood'? He wanted to become an engineer, not an actor.

In the year 1969, a Bollywood film named 'Saat Hindustani' was released, which was directed by Khwaja Ahmed Abbas. It was through this film that Amitabh Bachchan made his Bollywood debut. After this, Big B never looked back and kept doing one film after another, kept entertaining people, and made the journey to become the superstar of Bollywood.

Reports about Amitabh say that in his career spanning five and a half decades, he has worked in more than 200 films. Today he is in such a position in Bollywood that even big superstars like Shahrukh and Salman respect him a lot. But do you know that Amitabh, who is called the megastar of Bollywood, does not like the word Bollywood at all? He hates the word Bollywood.

Amitabh Bachchan birthday

Amitabh's birthday is on October 11. He is celebrating his 82nd birthday. Bollywood celebs and all his fans are wishing him on his birthday. On this occasion, let's know why he hates the word Bollywood.

Not Bollywood, Amitabh likes to say this.

Amitabh had given his reaction to this years ago. He prefers to call Bollywood Indian cinema rather than Bollywood. He believes that Bollywood is ahead of Hollywood in many ways, so he feels that we do not need to borrow words from any other part of the world to represent our cinema. He also said that he feels proud to be a part of this fraternity of the film industry.

Amitabh may be a big actor in Bollywood today, but in a young age, he wanted to go into some other field rather than acting. He wanted to become an engineer and join the Air Force. However, fate had something else in store for him and he became the superstar of Bollywood.
