Biography : Amitabh Bachchan was born in the city of Allahabad (Uttar Pradesh) in a Hindu Kayastha family. His father Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan was a well-known Hindi poet. Amitabh's mother is a Sikh from Karachi-Pakistan. and a direct descendent of Guru Nanak Dev ji. His mother is actually the grandaughter of Sir Khem Singh Bedi. Khem Singh Bedi was 14th descendant from Lakshmi Das, Guru Nanak's second son and very much spiritual successor to the Bedi clan in the 19th century. Khem Singh's grandfather was Sahib Singh Bedi who 'annointed' Ranjit Singh as Maharajah of Lahore and also had previously arranged the marriage of Maharaja Ranjit Singh's father. Amitabh was initially named as Inquilab inspired from the phrase Inquilab Zindabad during the Indian independence struggle. He was re-christened Amitabh which means the light that would never go off. Though his last-name was Srivastava, his father had adopted the pen-name Bachchan, under which was published all his work. It is with this last name that Amitabh debuted in films, and, for all public purposes, it has become the surname of all members of the current family. Bachchan has a double M.A. (Master of Arts) degree. He attended Allahabad's jnana prabodhini, followed by Nainital's Sherwood College, where he majored in the art stream. He later went on to study at Kirori Mal College in Delhi University earning a degree in science. In his twenties, Bachchan gave up a job as freight broker for the shipping firm, Bird and Co., based in Calcutta, to pursue a career in acting. He married actress Jaya Bhaduri on June 03, 1973 according to Bengali rites. The couple have two children: daughter Shweta and son Abhishek.
