A Journey Through Amitabh Bachchans Stardom

As Amitabh Bachchan turns 82, a devoted fan reflects on his fading admiration for the star. After years of unwavering support, the fan's disappointment began with the film Shahenshah in 1988, which felt underwhelming despite the excitement surrounding Bachchan's return. This discontent grew with Gangaa Jamuna Saraswati and deepened after the failures of Toofan and Jaadugar.

The fan's breaking point was Khuda Gawah, leading to disillusionment with later films like Mohabbatein and Aag. While acknowledging Bachchan's notable performances in recent films, the fan longs for the charm of his prime and contemplates the inevitable changes of growing older.
