My first 'memory' of Amitabh Bachchan was even before my memory formed.
When I was less than 2 years old, a domestic help used to take me to a cinema hall where Sholay was running (on the pretext of going on an evening walk).

And I made friends with Jai.

After a few years, when I knew movies were fun, I tagged with my mother and aunts to a show of The Great Gambler.

Midway through the movie, when Amitabh was getting beaten up, I got very scared and conned my mother into taking me home. 🤦🏽‍♂️

The result: my mom refused to take me to the movies. She left me home and went off to see Muqaddar ka Sikandar.

I cried so much that my grandpa used his contacts at the cinema to walk into the show, towards the end. I still remember watching Zohra die in Sikandar's arms.
