INQUILAB SRIVASTAVA - AMITABH BACHCHAN: Amitabh Bachchan was born Inquilaab Srivastava on October 11, 1942 in Allahabad. During one of the episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati (television game show), Big B had shared that his mother Teji Bachchan had almost named him Inquilab when he was born. However, at the suggestion of legendry poet Sumitranandan Pant, his father Harivansh Rai changed his name to Amitabh, which means ‘the light that will never die.’
