As a kid, Aamir Khan mocked Amitabh Bachchan

Aamir made this revelation at the release of book 'Bachchanalia: The Films and Memorabilia of Amitabh Bachchan,' co-authored by Bhawana Somaaya, to mark the 40 years of Big B's illustrious career.

Aamir told reporters: "Since I come from a film family, we had copies of Filmfare magazine, which carried pictures of young actors struggling to make a mark in the industry. As a kid, I recall laughing with disdain at some pictures of young people who were aspiring to become actors. As I grew up, I hung my head in shame that one of the picture, which I laughed at was that of Amitabh Bachchan."


The Ghajini star added that over the years, Mr. Bachchan has proved his detractors wrong and made a unique place for himself in the industry.

"It is inspirational and amazing to see how he has carved a niche for himself despite the fact that the film industry was reluctant to accept him initially. In the film industry, success is not necessarily proportionate to the talent and hard work. But, Amitabh Bachchan is an exception," Khan said.

About the book, 'Bachchanalia', Aamir said: "It is image heavy and not word heavy and takes you through the journey of an amazing actor through images."

Big B would complete his four decades in the film industry on February 15, 2009.

At the book launch, Mr. Bachchan thanked fans who have stood by him throughout all trials and tribulations, ups and downs.
