Veteran of Bollywood (he insists on calling it the 'entertainment industry') with a hundred films and celluloid roles under his belt, Amitabh Bachchan's most stylish role is undoubtedly, playing himself. Unorchestrated by designers and unencumbered by stylists, the most ritzy character that he plays is, in fact, Amitabh Bachchan. Foot-stampingly impatient at being described a style icon, he is unable to recognise his own panache. An interviewer's nightmare, he sidesteps questions on his 'look' with particular agility.

My parents were very progressive for their age, in the 40s. They broke norms. They gave us the liberty and freedom to do what we wanted. We have adopted a similar temperament with our kids.
At the end of the day, my kids do come out with flying colours.
I don't know what we learn from our children. A bit of French, perhaps! After all, they did go to Swiss schools.
I don't drink alcohol, coffee or tea. I don't smoke, I am a vegetarian. I don't do any of this for health reasons or religious reasons. I just don't do it! I used to smoke, eat paan, have tea, coffee, drinks...
In this age to ask 'how do you know?' is absurd. If you can read, you know!
I don't do anything that is orchestrated. Recently, there has been an upsurge of very controlled groups who manage the 'look' of a film. I have been subjected to these people. Other than that, what the director wanted, I wore.
If I give you a time, I should keep it. You have a watch. Look at it and be on time.
