Amitabh Harivansh Bachchan, best known as Amitabh Bachchan, was born in Allahabad, India on October 11, 1942. India was still a British colony at the time, and would not achieve independence until five years later. Bachchan's father was renowned Hindi poet Dr. Harivansh Rai. His mother, Teji Bachchan, was a Sikh socialite. Amitabh Bachchan was his parents' firstborn. He has one younger brother, named Ajitabh.

Bachchan went to Sherwood College boarding school before enrolling in Delhi University, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree. Once he graduated, he became a freight broker in Calcutta. After a few years in Calcutta, Bachchan was ready for a change. He decided to move to Bombay and take a stab at Boollywood show business. By this time, India had been independent for nearly two decades, and Hindi cinema was thriving.

मशहूर लेखक-निर्देशक ख्वाजा अहमद अब्बास ने उन्हें अपनी फिल्म ‘सात हिंदुस्थानी’ (1969) में ब्रेक दिया। इसके बाद उन्हें ‘आनंद’ (1970) व ‘नमक हरम’ (1973) में  उस दौर के सुपर स्टार  राजेश खन्ना के साथ उत्कृष्ट अभिनय करने के लिए पहचाना गया, लेकिन ‘जंजीर’ (1973) से उन्हें ‘एंग्री यंग मैन’ की ऐतिहासिक इमेज मिली। ‘आनंद’ में राजेश खन्ना एवं ‘शक्ति’ (1982) में दिलीप कुमार के साथ अपनी श्रेष्ठता सिध्द कर उन्होंने हिंदी सिनेमा पर अपना एकछत्र साम्राज्य स्थापित कर लिया। अपने समय की प्रख्यात अभिनेत्री जया भादुड़ी उनकी पत्नी हैं।

अमिताभ बच्चन को ‘फिल्म फेयर पुरस्कार’, राष्ट्रीय पुरस्कार, ‘पदमश्री’ आदि सम्मान प्राप्त हो चुके हैं। उन पर बी.बी.सी. ने एक विशेष वृत्तचित्र भी बनाया है। साथ ही विश्व स्तर पर सर्वेक्षण से प्राप्त निष्कर्ष के आधार पर अमिताभ को ‘मिलेनियम ऑफ दि स्टार’ से भी सुशोभित किया है। वह सन 1985 में इलाहाबाद से लोक सभा के लिए चुने गए थे।

एक लंबे विराम के बाद अमिताभ की सिने-स्क्रीन पर फिर से वापसी हुई है। ‘अमिताभ बच्चन कपेरिशन लि. (ABCL) के नाम से उन्होंने एक कंपनी की स्थापना की है, जिसका उद्देश्य फिल्मों के वितरण के साथ ही सांस्कृतिक एवं संगीत संबंधी कार्यक्रम करना भी है। बंगलोर में आयोजित ‘द मिस वर्ल्ड ब्यूटी पेजेन्ट 96’ को भी इस कंपनी ने स्पोन्सर किया था।

विश्व सिनेमा में अमिताभ बच्चन का स्थान मार्लन ब्रांडो, शॉन कोनेरी, केरी ग्रांट आदि से किसी प्रकार कम नहीं है। इधर अमिताभ SONY ENTERTAINMENT चैनल के अंतर्गत ‘कौन बनेगा करोड़पति’ गेम शो लेकर छोटे पर्दे पर अवतरित हुए हैं। उनकी जबर्दस्त प्रतिभा व लोकप्रियता के कारण इस शो को सर्वोच्च सफलता मिली है।

Business career

In 1980, the Indian government under Indira Gandhi opened PFY (polyester filament yarn) manufacturing to the private sector. Dhirubhai Ambani applied for a license to set up a PFY manufacturing plant. In spite of stiff competition from Tatas, Birlas and 43 others, Dhirubhai was awarded the licence. To help him build the PFY plant, Dhirubhai pulled his eldest son Mukesh out of Stanford where he was studying for his MBA. Mukesh Ambani, then discontinued the program to help his father and initiated Reliance's backward integration from textiles into polyester fibres and further into petrochemicals, beginning in 1981.

Mukesh Ambani set up Reliance Infocomm Limited (now Reliance Communications Limited), which was focused on information and communications technology initiatives.

Ambani directed and led the creation of the world's largest grassroots petroleum refinery at Jamnagar, India, which had the capacity to produce 660,000 barrels per day (33 million tonnes per year) in 2010, integrated with petrochemicals, power generation, port and related infrastructure.

In February 2014, an FIR has been filed against Mukesh Ambani for alleged irregularities in the pricing of natural gas from K G Basin. Arvind Kejriwal, who had a short stint as Delhi's chief minister and had ordered the FIR against has accused various political parties of being silent on the gas price issue. Kejriwal has asked both Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi to clear their stand on the gas pricing issue. Kejriwal has alleged that the Centre inflated the price of gas to eight dollars a unit though Mukesh Ambani's company spends only one dollar to produce a unit, which meant a loss of Rs. 540 billion to the country annually.

On 18 June 2014, Mukesh Ambani, addressing the 40th AGM of Reliance Industries, said it will invest Rs 1.8 trillion (short scale) across businesses in the next three years and launch 4G broadband services in 2015.
