Amitabh Bachchan reflects on his early struggles and reveals how his father’s advice shaped his journey to success, emphasizing the value of hard-earned money.

It is quite remarkable how Amitabh Bachchan rose from modest beginnings to become a megastar. Throughout a five-decade career, the actor has won over millions of hearts with his performances, diligence, and commitment. Aspiring performers and artists are still inspired by his experience.

In a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Amitabh Bachchan shared a glimpse of his struggles in the early years. He spoke to a contestant, Paritosh Gupta, who expressed his desire to own a house with the prize money, reminding Big B of his financial hardships during his early career.

Amitabh revealed that when he was in Kolkata, he earned only Rs 300-400, which was insufficient for basic living expenses. Struggling to make ends meet, the Sholay star turned to the racecourse in hopes of earning more. However, this move led to a significant turning point in his life when his father intervened.

Amitabh Bachchan shared a heartfelt memory of receiving a letter from his father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, advising him not to seek easy money. The letter’s message was clear: only money earned through hard work and sweat is truly worthwhile. Big B took his father's advice seriously.
