Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan who features a central role in “Aarakshan” on issues of caste, told on Wednesday he was not raised in an atmosphere of belief in caste, creed and religion.
In my opinion, I think I got the birth in an environment that taught me to distinguish between caste, creed and religion, Bachchan said when asked about their views of staff in the differentiation of caste and creed.
My dad belonged to Uttar Pradesh, my mom belonged to a Sikh family. When I was about to be admitted to school, my father gave him the nickname Bachchan, who was his nickname, and I’m proud of it. Looking to read or will not be able to determine what caste I belong.
I married (Jaya), a Bengali. My brother (Ajitabh) married a Sindhi, my daughter (Shweta) married a Punjabi, my son (Abhishek) married a Tulu (Aishwarya Rai), Big B told.
Big B in combination with the great director Prakash Jha was in town to promote their upcoming film “Aarakshan”. It is a socio-political drama, which deals with the controversial policy of caste-based reservations of government jobs and educational institutions.
He performs an idealistic director of an educational institution and believes that everyone in society should get equal opportunities.
The motion picture is set for August 12
When asked about his personal position on reservation in India, Amitabh stated: I my self look at in terms of character. I play the role of the rector, who is a bit ‘idealist. Because of his idealism, makes his lessons at home for free to those students who do not have the means.
He does not believe in caste or creed, and it follows the principle of equal opportunities for all, because there are many people who can not afford.
Amitabh is convinced that working on “Aarakshan” is a life-time training him.
