Super Heroes in race
Amitabh Bachchan
           Bachchan was born in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, in north
           central India. His father, Harivansh Rai Bachchan, was a
           Hindi poet and his mother, Teji Bachchan, was a Sikh
           from Faisalabad (now in Pakistan).[8] Bachchan was
initially named Inquilaab, inspired
from the phrase made famous during the Indian independence
struggle, Inquilab Zindabad, which means "long live revolution".
However, at the suggestion of fellow poet Sumitranandan Pant,
Harivansh Rai changed the name to Amitabh which means, "the
light that would never go off." Though his surname was
Shrivastava, his father had adopted the pen-name Bachchan
(meaning "child-like" in colloquial Hindi), under which he
published all his works. 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 his family. Bachchan's father died in
2003 and his mother in 2007.[9] Amitabh is the elder of Harivansh
Rai Bachchan's two sons, the second being Ajitabh. His mother
had a keen interest in theatre and had been offered a role in a film,
but preferred her domestic duties. She had some degree of
influence in Bachchan's choice of career because she always
insisted that he should take the centre stage.
