This was Amitabh’s real name
Let us tell you that Amitabh Bachchan’s father was from Uttar Pradesh. He belonged to Kayastha family and mother came from Sikh family. Amitabh Bachchan’s real name was Inquilab Srivastava, which was then changed.
Amitabh Bachchan changed his surname. His surname was Srivastava, which was changed to Bachchan. Amitabh himself had talked about it.
Why did Amitabh’s surname change?
In Kaun Banega Crorepati, he had told that the Bachchan surname is the gift of his father Mr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan. Amitabh said- My father did not want to be bound by caste. He wanted to be free. He got the surname Bachchan because he was a poet. Then when I went to school for admission, the teacher asked my surname and my father told me that my surname was Bachchan. Since then the surname Bachchan started. You will not be able to find out about caste from our surname. That’s why father did this deliberately. I am lucky that I was born in such a family and was born with the surname Bachchan.
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in the film Kalki 2898 AD. Amitabh was in the role of Ashwatthama in this film. Amitabh’s role in the film was most praised.
